    This walking tour had so much more to it than I expected. I was expecting a tour of a fort and it's history, but what I got was an entire history of Singapore! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour exciting and very interesting. I would highly recommend this tour.

  • Great journey through time

    It's a fascinating history and great content to appreciate how Singapore got to where it is. The guide was very thorough, friendly, and attentive. The instructions to find the group were very precise, and the tour lasted about 2.5 hours. Bring water, fans, and a hat, as it's mostly outdoors, though there are many shady spots and a welcomed AC break halfway through. I highly recommend this tour, but it’s hot and humid on the island!

  • Fantastic tour with an excellent guide
