It is the oldest functioning Roman Catholic church in Malaysia and the third largest catholic church in Melaka City after the Church of St. Francis Xavier (Melaka) and St. Theresa's Church (Melaka) in Gajah Berang, a district located north from St Peter's church. The Portuguese occupation of Melaka ended when Melaka fell to the Dutch in 1641.This was followed by period of persecutions of the Catholics in Melaka by the Dutch. Churches were destroyed and Catholics were not permitted to have their own cemeteries or even pray in their homes. Priests were also forbidden from administering their flocks. After years of persecutions, a piece of land was donated by a Dutch convert named Maryber Franz Amboer in the District of Saba in which the first priest, Fr. Domingos Monteiro, named it after the patron saint of fishermen for the Portuguese Catholic and thus St. Peter's Church was built in 1710

The first Catholic Church in Malacca was "Our Lady of the Annunciation," built by the Portuguese viceroy and military commander Afonso de Albuquerque at the bottom of the Hill near the colonial castle A Famosa in 1511. It later became the Cathedral Our Lady of the Assumption. With the conquest of Malacca by the protestant Dutch in 1641, the church was renamed for Dutch Reformed use as "St. Paul's Church". The church remained in use as the main church of the protestant Dutch community until the completion of the Benedenkerk Christ Church Malacca in 1753. As early as 1744, the church was used as a powder magazine. When the British occupied Malacca in 1824, the church continued to be used as a powder magazine.

Fantastic Service

We had a great experience. Even though our hotel was outside the usual pick up zone, we managed to arrange it with the company admin. Our guide, Rin, was great - attentive, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I couldn't fault our experience.

A tour of the highlights

I thoroughly enjoyed my Melaka tour. I had Siva for my guide, he was so lovely and friendly! His calm personality really added to the day to make it an even better experience and I felt well looked after. Siva shared the local knowledge and provided some ideas for the area so I was able to make the most of my time. Melaka is beautiful with an interesting history and lots of things to see once you’re there. This tour combines many of the highlights together.

Awesome Experience

This was one of the best tours of our trip! The price was very affordable, but the service was excellent. Since there were no other guests that day, it became a private tour for just me and my two children (ages 13 and 11). Traveling in a comfortable private car instead of a bus made the trip even more enjoyable. Our guide was incredibly friendly and shared many interesting stories about Malaysia and Malacca during the drive, so the journey was both fun and informative. They also contacted us b

We did Malacca UNESCO...

We did Malacca UNESCO Heritage Day Shares Tour from Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. There were no other people on the tour and our guide Steven picked us up, showed all historic places and dropped us back at the hotel. Steven was very informative and polite. He recommended a restorant with delicious food, gave us free time to explore Jonker Str and navigated very well through the heavy traffic on the way back.

Driver or guide (?)

After this tour, I think I might joined the wrong tour, because we have to figure out everything ourself. The driver only drove us to the location(s), and gave some minimum explanation of the "history", and you go figure. Basically, as long as you are happy with just a chauffeur service, this would be a good enough.

Malacca Heritage Tour from KL good guide

We had a great guide called Jin he was on time and very friendly. He explained the schedule of the day. 2 hours by car from KL. unfortunately it’s rained a lot the second part of tour so we had to miss out on some sights. Overall Jin was a great guide spoke good English and drove safely in clean car. We totalled 5 people. I would recommend him.
