Kuching Tours on Foot

Fall in love with Sarawak’s capital, Kuching, on one of our walking tours. We will guide you through the bustling streets and recount you with stories about the enchanting architecture. Get a taste for our world-class street food, explore our local produce in the exciting markets, and cruise the Sarawak River in a traditional ‘sampan’ boat. Fire up the grill, don a chef’s hat, and cook up a storm in a guided cooking class. The local guides will show you the hidden gems of this historic city and make sure you leave your tour with your taste buds tingling and your mind open to new experiences! Kuching is a convenient city to do day trips from if you choose to do it yourself. We have written an extensive article on how here.

Why a Cycling Holiday in Borneo Beats the Classic Southeast Asia Routes

A cycling holiday in Borneo offers something Vietnam and Sri Lanka cannot match: genuine Iban longhouse stays, interior river crossings, and White Rajah fort trails on the same guided route. Paradesa Borneo has run multi-day cycling programmes in Malaysian Borneo since 2013, from 3-day circuits to the 14-Day Trans-Borneo Road Bike Adventure. Find your itinerary here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful morning with Kelvin our guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. We tasted some wonderful local dishes while enjoying Kuching on foot and traversing the Sarawak river by sampan boat. We had a great time with our 7 and 9 year old sons and would definitely recommend this tour for everyone who wants to get a taste of Kuching and learn some more about its history and cultures.

He was most informative about the history and cultures of Kuching and Sarawak. We loved the frequent stops, tasting street food, drinking local coffees and checking the local markets . We thoroughly enjoyed the boat taxi home . We highly recommend this as a great introduction to Kuching.

Laura took us to all kinds of popular local spots in and around the city, and even out on the water. A beautiful way to get to know the culture better and taste the versatility of the food and drinks. Thank you so much!"

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They organized a 6 night stay with an Iban community for us. Our guide Rody was informative and kind. This was one of the best experiences we've ever had, I'm grateful to have been able to live with this Iban longhouse community for a week. Thank you to Paradesa Borneo for organizing it for us!
