A Private Malaysia Tour – Kuala Lumpur & Malacca

Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Garden City of Lights, is the Capital City of Malaysia. Discovering Kuala Lumpur is like traveling though a time tunnel. Here, vivid traces of history continue to influence and inspire a country set on becoming a fully industrialized nation by the year 2020. You will see ultra-modern skyscrapers standing magnificently next to rows and rows of quaint old shop houses, haute cuisine beside hawker stalls.

To the avid shopper, Kuala Lumpur is paradise. From world-renowned designer labels and brands to exquisite made-in-Malaysia items, the highly competitive environment that exists among traders is a blessing in disguise to shoppers. While department stores practice a fixed price policy, bargain hunters can test their skills at smaller retail establishments or at any one of Kuala Lumpur’s famous night markets.

To trace where it all began, we travel to Malacca (or Maleka in Malay). The historic city of Malacca provides a glimpse into the splendid saga of an extraordinary empire founded centuries ago which later grew to become a powerful sultanate later colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch and British. The city’s rich tapestry of multicultural influences is abundantly displayed through its heritage architecture, diverse lifestyles and eclectic cuisine.
