   Singapore

   3 hr - Begin with an early morning pickup at your Singapore hotel. 2 of our trained staff (1 licensed guide and 1 separate driver) will meet you at the hotel driveway to check your documents before escorting you through immigration via the drive-through border (no standing-in-line). After clearing immigration, relax into the leather seats of your private, air-conditioned vehicle to enjoy the 3-hour chauffeured drive to Malacca - a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once the country’s busiest trading port. Use the onboard WIFI if you wish while enjoying a complimentary packed breakfast box.

   Stop 2

   En-route, listen to the detailed deforestation commentary by your professional local English-speaking guide (100% licensed with university qualifications) as you pass by the massive palm oil plantations at Malacca Jasin village. Do you know that this tour is both a Viator Badge Of Excellence accredited tour, and a sustainable carbon-neutral tour? After every tour, 1 tree will be planted in damaged Malaysian Borneo rainforests to offset the tour carbon footprint, as well as to preserve the natural habitat of the endangered Orangutan species.

3. 3
   Malacca River

   20 min - Upon arrival in Malacca, hop onboard a scenic river cruise that will sail you into the heart of UNESCO Malacca. Spanning 10-kilometer, Malacca river was once dubbed the "Venice of the East" by European seafarers as it was a prominent port of entry for traders from Europe and Asia during the late 16th century.

4. 4
   Kampung Morten

   During the river cruise, you will see this historical village which is named after a British land revenue collector during the British Malaya, Frederick Joseph Morten. It houses more than 100 traditional Malay houses, many of them built without the use of any nails.

5. 5
   St. Francis Xavier Church

   During the river cruise, you will see this twin-spired neo-gothic leaning structure that was built in 1849, in honour of St. Francis Xavier, a prominent 16th-century Catholic missionary also known as the "Apostle of the East".

6. 6
   Red Square (Dutch Square)

   10 min - Disembarking the river cruise, you will set foot upon Dutch Square. Dutch Square is distinguished by a group of bright, terracotta-red colonial Dutch buildings, built between 1650 and 1750, with louvered windows and chunky doors with wrought iron hinges.

   Queen Victoria's Fountain

   Christ Church

   Facing the clock tower is Christ Church, it was built as a place of worship by the Dutch in 1753, about a century after they took over Malacca from the Portuguese.

    While ascending to St. Paul's Hill, from a vantage point, you can see a replica of the old Middleburg Bastion.
