Overview

This walking tour lasts about 4 and a half hours and covers Singapore’s history and culture, starting from the Civic District at 3:30 pm and ending in Chinatown at 8 pm. The group visits key colonial landmarks including St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore’s largest Western religious building since 1836. The tour also stops at a historic building from 1926 that witnessed Singapore’s colonial era, Japanese occupation, and eventual independence. The National Gallery is included, featuring more than 8,000 Southeast Asian and Singaporean artworks. Participants walk along the Singapore River to Clarke Quay to learn about early traders, then board a bumboat for a 30-minute river cruise included in the tour. The boat ride leads to Merlion Park, where guests view the sunset over Marina Bay and learn about the large construction projects there. The itinerary continues to Esplanade Park to see memorials dedicated to notable Singaporean figures, followed by a waterfront stroll in Marina Bay to observe the city’s distinctive architecture. The group stops at the Fullerton Waterboat House from the 1940s, near Merlion Park. The Pinnacle@Duxton residential towers are next, featuring two 500-meter sky gardens on the 26th and 50th floors. Dinner takes place at Maxwell Food Centre or another Chinatown hawker centre, where the famous Chicken Rice dish is served along with freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. The tour concludes with a 30-minute visit to a tea house for a traditional tea ceremony, including a tasting of the Imperial tea once served to Queen Elizabeth II.
