Fabulous say trip to Melaka, the picturesque old capital of Malaysia
CHARLES D,,Jul 23, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00Melaka (Malacca) is a must visit destination in Malaysia because it’s the old capital and it’s full of historical buildings from the Dutch, the Portuguese and the British, with many beautiful old mosques and Chinese and Tamil temples. Chen was my tour guide, who is very knowledgeable in the history of this unique city, and he took me to all the places that I wanted to visit. We went to the Kampung Hulu Mosque, the Kampung Kling Mosque, and the gorgeous Cheng Hoon Teng Temple. We also walked in an alley decorated with beautiful Street Art, and the Dutch Square, where I took a ride on a trishaw, and then weny on a scenic river cruise in the Melaka River. Then we walked along the famous Jonker Street (which I wish it was a pedestrian only street), and at the end we stopped by the Melaka Straits Mosque.
Absolutely fantastic tour of Melacca!!
