Forget the tour buses and the scripted "tourist traps." This walking tour experience is designed for the traveler who wants to see Singapore exactly as it is — a blend of ancient traditions, vibrant culture, and the lived-in realities of the locals.

WHAT SETS THIS TOUR APART?

The "Unfiltered" Angle: Not only do we show you the monuments and places of worship; we also show you the residential environment where 80% of locals live, and the elderly playing checkers that belies the challenges of the country.

The Local Rhythm: By using the MRT during the tour, you travel like a local, experiencing the city's efficiency and order first-hand.

The Community's Dining Place: Experience the bustle of a popular Hawker Centre, inscribed by UNESCO, for its unique and special place in Singapore's social and culinary landscape.

Group size capped at 8 for a more personal experience.

A great combination of cultural & historical sights as well as insights into the locals' way of life.
