Overview
Take this 3-hour tour to get to know the city of Kuching, which is cut almost in half by the meandering Sarawak River—the city’s lifeline. Kuching’s skyline is a mix of minarets and domes, ornate temple roofs, church spires, a fortress, towers, and both modern and colonial buildings, all set amid a profusion of greenery against the backdrop of the inky-blue Santubong and Matang Mountains. During this tour, a guide takes you through the city’s history, from the era of the White Rajahs to the present day. Select a morning or afternoon departure time when booking.

Itinerary
Build in 1891, Borneo's oldest museum is an excellent place to learn about the former headhunting indigenous tribes and native crafts, artifacts and beyond.
Build in 1870 by Charles Brooke as a bridal gift to his wife Margaret. Laid out in the style of an English manor house, it is the third and last residence build by the Brooke Rajahs and was occupied by the reigning Rajah until the Japanese Occupation in 1941.
Kuching's waterfront is pleasant and safe to stroll at night, particularly around sunset as the call to prayer reverberates across the river. The walkway has some restaurants, carts selling snacks and drinks, plus benches for taking in the view and doing some people watching.
The Square Tower was originally constructed in 1879 as a prison. It was later turned into a fortress. The building bears the Brooke era coat of arms.
Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building , the nine storey building is where 82 elected state assemblymen meet and preside over debates and the passing of laws. It is fully equipped with high tech information and communication technology. Described as one of the most Asia beautiful buildings in Southeast Asia with its distinctive payung (umbrella) roof, it is an iconic landmark for Sarawak.
