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. The war of the Spanish Succession resulted in an alliance formed between the Portuguese and the Dutch in 1703. This resulted in the Dutch adopting a softer stance towards the Portuguese Catholics.

Wow, what a day. We had the most informative tour to Malacca, while in Malacca and on our return trip to KL. Thank you Chandra, your extensive knowledge ensured we learned the history of Malacca and saw absolutely everything we were meant to.

Very easy and smooth experience being picked up from our hotel and driven to malacca from KL, stopping off at st Peter's church along the way. Our driver was very friendly and accommodating teaching us little bits about Malaysia as we drove. The city of malacca itself is stunning and our tour guide took us through harmony street and jonker street once we had a chance to explore the red square. He also took us to an Indian restaurant for lunch that had the best biryani I've ever had!

We had an amazing time traveling from KL to Melaka. The stops were very interesting and quick. The town of Melaka was very interesting based on all of the Countries that have controlled the city. Our tour guide really made the trip incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the city and the history, and all of the stories were fantastic. I would highly recommend this trip if you enjoy history! Buckle up as traffic can be pretty brutal to and from KL and Melaka. But don’t let that scare you from booking a trip!
