KL to Melaka
Kuala Lumpur to Melaka
Melaka is a 2-hour drive south of KL along the North-South Expressway. It is one of Malaysia's most popular day trip destinations — UNESCO World Heritage architecture, the best chicken rice balls in the country, and Jonker Street for night market shopping.
Our drivers do the KL-Melaka run constantly. They know to avoid the Seremban toll bottleneck, which lane to take at the Ayer Keroh exit, and exactly where to drop you in the heritage zone so you are steps from the main attractions.

Walk through 500 years of colonial history — Portuguese fortress ruins, Dutch-era red buildings, and Christ Church. All within walking distance of each other.

A 45-minute boat ride past heritage buildings, street art murals, and old warehouses. Best at sunset when the lighting along the river turns on.
