    Overview

    Join us on a journey through Singapore from past to present. Enjoy dinner in a Hawker Centre and a tea ceremony.

    You start your journey with the founding of Modern Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles, visiting historic colonial buildings to learn about the early pioneers who came to Singapore.

    You will board a bumboat and cruise down the river through to the present day. Visit Merlion Park and soak in the sunset view of Marina Bay whilst learning about the mega construction project behind it.

    Discuss the political reform by Mr Lee Kuan Yew and discover how Singapore went from third-world to first-world in one generation.

    Feast on Singapore’s most iconic dish; Chicken Rice at Hawker Centre in Chinatown. Your guide will teach you Hawker Centre etiquette and point out all of the must-try foods in Singapore.

    After dinner, retreat to a beautiful teahouse for a traditional tea-tasting experience. Try the Imperial tea that Queen Elizabeth II was served in the very same teahouse.

      What a wonderful day we spent with Pam. Not only is she knowledgeable about the history and culture of Singapore, she is a pleasure to be with and learn from. The river cruise was great and gave a full sense of the changes Singapore has gone through and the growth and change that has been experienced. Loved the tea tasting. A lovely way to end a great tour. Pam was very conscious of the pace that worked best and any requests we had. She was a joy to be with! Highly recommend this tour! Cathy and Paul

      We had the best guide. Richard went into great detail on historical and cultural aspects of Singapore. Took us around the city explaining about the people, education, art, government, economy. Had best rice and chicken with sugarcane juice /lemon drink. The tea experience was amazing! Great tour, great guide!
