Step into the heart of Melaka and uncover the stories that shaped this UNESCO World Heritage City. This free walking tour offers centuries of culture, trade, and tradition — without stretching your budget.

As you explore the city’s charming streets, discover its mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences reflected in architecture, cuisine, and daily life. Learn how Melaka transformed from a bustling trading port into a symbol of Malaysia’s multicultural identity.

Highlights include Dutch Square, Christ Church, St. Paul’s Church, and the historic A Famosa Fort, one of Asia’s oldest surviving European structures. Stroll down Jonker and Heeren Street, where time stands still among heritage shophouses and vibrant street life.

Note: This is a tip-based tour. The booking fee secures your spot, while tips (suggested RM80-150 per person) directly support your guide’s efforts, which is a fair amount. Your voluntary tip supports their continued work.

I did a walking tour in Malacca with Mimi today and she was amazing. She is funny, passionate, and knows her hometown inside out. You can feel how much she loves Malacca and how proud she is to share its history. She explained everything in a way that was fun and easy to follow and gave us great insider tips on food, shops, hidden spots, and what else to visit later. The tour never felt rushed and she kept everyone engaged the whole time. If you want a guide who truly cares and delivers an outstanding experience, go with Mimi. She did a fantastic job.

Well-explained 2.5 hours walking tour by John around Dutch square, St Paul's Hill, Fort Sandiego, Heeren Street and Jonker street. It was not too tiring and guided us to understand the history and culture better.
