About this activity
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.

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.
