Excursion Overview
For an in-depth look at life in the capital, move around the neighbourhoods on foot and by public transport. Take a closer look at the blends of cultures and history, rubbing shoulders with the locals as you explore.
Travel by monorail to the Chow Kit Wet Market, the city’s largest covered market. Explore the maze of stalls with your private guide. From here head to Kampung Bahru, a traditional city neighbourhood founded in 1899. Peruse the streets of the residential area before stopping at a local café. Join your guide for a local coffee to chat about life in the city, picking up some language tips and unique local insight.
Move on to the historical colonial centre Merdeka Square, walking along an impressive blend of architectural wonders, with buildings dating back to the 1800's. If interested, visit the Masjid Jamek, the city’s oldest surviving mosque. The colourful streets of Little India will also be explored, a wonderful place to take photos and browse the many shop and street vendors selling therapeutic massage oils, herbs and authentic goods.

Ian at Holiday Architects was an absolute pleasure to deal with, from start to finish. We decided on a trip to Singapore & Malaysia and were delighted with the hotels he chose and the itinerary. He was very patient with us as we changed things, and was always on hand to advise and guide. We had total confidence in him. There was a minor issue while we were away and he responded to my email very quickly. Highly recommended and we would definitely book with him/them again. Thank you Ian!!

Right from the very start Erin carefully listened to our interests and preferences and then put together an amazing itinerary. We then tailored it together so that every detail exactly met our needs. We have just returned from that wonderful 2 1/2 week trip. Everything worked like clockwork. The drivers, excursions, and hotels were all excellent exceeding our expectations. It was such a varied trip ranging from jungle immersion to five star luxury. Exactly what he hoped for! We will definitely use Holiday Architects again and highly recommend them.
