Briefly, I am an independent tour ambassador for my home state Malacca, Malaysia. I am born and bred here and the historical belt of the city was my childhood playground. Over the years I have studied and learned on many historical subjects of my hometown. Veteran tour guides have given and shared plenty of their knowledge and advice. I am passionate and eager to show tourists from around the world the heritage, culture, and history of Malacca, World Heritage and UNESCO city. There are so many amazing stories that I wish to share with anyone out there about Malacca. I enjoy meeting and sharing chats with people from around the world and I have enjoyed every tour that I have given in the past and I intend to provide my best to everyone. I wish to welcome all of you to visit Malacca. “Selamat Datang ke Malacca” meaning “Welcome to Malacca.”
I am passionate and eager to show tourists from around the world the heritage, culture, and history of Malacca, a world heritage site and UNESCO city. There are so many amazing stories including the hidden and back lane ones that I wish to share with anyone out there about Malacca.
The following are the fantastic heritage and historical areas that I’m going explain in detail and I will walk together with you:
1/ The Stadthuys building. The Dutch used this as their government administration office as well as the British and the Melaka ones.
2/ The legendary Heeren and Jonker Street in existence since the 18th century.
3/ The oldest Taoist temple in Malaysia - Cheng Hoon Teng temple built in 1673. Appropriate worn clothing is necessary to enter.
4/ The unique 1748 Muslim Kampong Kling mosque and the old 1781 Sri PVM Hindu temple.
5/ The Christ Church which was built in 1741 and completed in 1753.
6/ The ancient ruins of the old Portuguese church up at St. Paul’s Hill. It is the oldest European structure in the Far East of Asia.
7/ The Porta de Santiago gateway, the last surviving and iconic gateway from the Portuguese era.
8/ The remnants and remains of the original Portuguese Fortaleza fortress.
I may also introduce local cakes, pastries and small meals on what we locals usually have during the day.
I wish to welcome all of you to Malacca.
“Selamat Datang ke Malacca”
meaning

P. S. Having an umbrella for the tour is useful and is highly recommended.
