The tour will also give you an opportunity to view authentic Dutch architecture at St. Paul's Hill and its surroundings which include the Governor's residence, the Dutch Graveyard, Porta de Santiago and also the Dutch period houses along the Fort road.

This tour provides an excellent opportunity to experience the lifestyles, hospitality and activities of the traditional Melaka Malay village. Upon arrival at Kampung Cantik, resident artists will show you the procedures of making hand drawn batik. Then visit a small plot under oil palm and rubber cultivation.

On the village walk, you'll be passing quaint Melaka kampung houses. Discover the exotic nutmeg fruits, aromatic curry leaves, lemon grass, breadfruit trees and the various seasonal fruits such as durians, mangosteens, rambutans and others. Finally, not to be missed, take part in making 'ketupat' casings with coconut leaves, play the 'congkak', top spinning and 'silat' (Malay martial art).

'Gula Melaka' (coconut palm sugar) is originally derived from a sap of the shoot of the coconut palm tree. The agile farmer has to climb the palm tree early in the morning and use a sharp knife to slice the tip of the shoot of the coconut palm tree in order to get the sugar. Overnight, a sweet, foul smelling sap collects in the container, which will later be mixed with a small quantity of flour to thick it.

The mixture is boiled and stirred in large iron woks for about 2 hours. Finally, the concentrated 'Gula Melaka' is transferred into small hollow bamboo containers. After the cooling period of 30 minutes, the 'Gula Melaka' is ready to be used as a sweetener for local cakes and the ever-famous Melaka Cendol.
