    3 days / 2 nights (flexible)

The UNESCO World Heritage site of Malacca is a true cultural melting pot - it's a small, easy-going city with a real mosaic of influences. During this trip, you’ll spend three days exploring Malacca, wandering through the narrow streets of Chinatown, strolling through chaotic night markets and sampling the extraordinary global cuisine. You’ll take a cycling tour to the nearby villages and countryside where you’ll find traditional lifestyles untouched by time.

Day 1 – Arrival in Malacca

Arriving in Malacca, you’ll head for your hotel, located in the heart of Chinatown. It’s a charming tangle of ornate arches, ancient temples and streets strewn with colourful paper lanterns. The rest of the day is entirely your own to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit the Portuguese fortress, stroll through the 17th-century Dutch townsquare, amble amongst the antiques on Jonker Walk and eat a mouth-watering array of Baba Nyonya street food.

Days 2-3 – Bike tour & departure

Today, you’ll be picked up by your guide and taken 30 mins out of the countryside to their home where your informative cycling trip will begin. After a quick bike fitting, you’ll pedal through tropical fruit and herb plantations, stopping to learn about them along the way. It’s a glimpse into rural Malaysia, where age-old traditions and simple lifestyles thrive.

After cycling through the small Malaysian villages in the area, you will return back to your guides’ home to freshen up, hang up your helmets and say goodbye to your new friend. You’ll arrive back at your hotel just after lunchtime and the rest of the day is completely free. The following morning, you’ll check out of your hotel to continue your Malaysian adventure.
