About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted holiday for solo travellers unfolds over 15 nights, beginning in Penang with its colonial-era George Town. The walking tour takes in UNESCO-listed streets, the Blue Mansion, and a trishaw ride through its distinctive backstreets. After Penang Hill's steep funicular railway and panoramic views, the journey moves to Kuala Lumpur. Here, a historic neighbourhood with markets and mosques provides a softer contrast to the nearby skyscrapers. The itinerary pivots to Borneo's Sandakan for encounters with sun bears and orangutans at dedicated conservation centres, alongside the colonial Agnes Keith House.

The adventure continues in Kota Kinabalu where visitors learn about indigenous cultures in a living museum, followed by looser days to linger on sandy beaches or explore nature reserves. A final two nights in Singapore weave together colonial landmarks, ethnically rich districts of Chinatown and Little India, and the sprawling Botanical Gardens, blending urban and green spaces. Throughout, there is an easy pace with a mix of guided tours and free time to wander or rest.
