Discover the fascinating evolution of Singapore on this three-hour walking tour that captures the spirit of this vibrant metropolis.

Your experience begins at the 19th-century Thian Hock Keng Temple, a UNESCO-recognised site and Singapore’s oldest national monument. Standing where the original shoreline once met the sea, you will hear the poignant stories of the pioneers who arrived with nothing but hope.

From the sacred, we move to the scenic, wandering through the lush greenery of Ann Siang Hill Park and stopping at the stunning Thian Hock Keng Mural by Yip Yew Chong to see 19th-century local life brought to life.

The journey continues at the legendary Lau Pa Sat. Arriving just before the lunch rush (or dinner depending on your slot), you’ll enjoy an exclusive Taster of local delights like Satay and refreshing juice, or peranakan style dessert called "Chendol", under grand Victorian cast-iron arches.
