Mobile ticket
Take this 3-hour tour to get to know the city of Kuching, which is cut almost in half by the meandering Sarawak River—the city's lifeline. Kuching's skyline is a mix of minarets and domes, ornate temple roofs, church spires, a fortress, towers, and both modern and colonial buildings, all set amid a profusion of greenery against the backdrop of the inky-blue Santubong and Matang Mountains. During this tour, a guide takes you through the city's history, from the era of the White Rajahs to the present day. Select a morning or afternoon departure time when booking.

Kuching Angela's coffe farm

5.00We had a fantastic trip with Backyard Tour Malaysia to Angela's coffee farm. Where we were shown around the farm and saw the local fruits and flowers and got insight into how coffee is made. They were very hospitable and offered us food and tastings. A really good experience. Afterwards we were shown how to make honey with stingless bees, really interesting and lovely honey. We must also praise our guide Abbie who helped make it a really good experience in the best way possible. Anette og Bent 🇩🇰 Denmark
