What To Expect
Chinatown
The tours are fully customizable, but if you are going for a shorter 3-hour tour, we would recommend concentrating on one of the major ethnic districts such as Chinatown where we will tell you a bit more about how Singaporeans live, work and play. We will also tell you a bit more about how the city is planned
Kampong Glam
Kampong Glam is a vibrant and colorful neighborhood in Singapore that will transport you to another world. As you wander through the narrow streets lined with colorful shophouses and street art, you'll feel like you've stepped into a version of Singapore that's been preserved in time. But don't let the old-world charm fool you - Kampong Glam is also home to a host of trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants that cater to a hip and trendy crowd. As you explore, you'll find a mix of traditional businesses like spice shops and textile stores alongside more modern establishments like artisanal coffee shops and trendy cocktail bars. No visit to Kampong Glam would be complete without stopping by the iconic Sultan Mosque, which serves as the spiritual center of the neighborhood. So if you're looking to experience a side of Singapore that's full of character and flavor, make sure to add Kampong Glam to your itinerary.

5.00We did the Chinatown walking tour with Ken. He was very friendly and welcoming, our tour was really informative and we went places we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. We have decided to go back today and see some of the places in more depth thanks to Ken. Highly recommend

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour in Chinatown with Eunice. It makes all the difference when the guide has personal ties with the place and is passionate about showing off Chinatown's culture and heritage. Eunice had a way of presenting Singapore's touching history that brought me to tears a couple of times on the tour. Not only so, she also led the group to consider present day concerns that face Singaporeans. This was definitely a highlight of my trip. If I had more time, I would have liked to join other offered tours.
Fantastic walk in Chinatown with Chey.

5.00Our guide Cheyenne was fantastic. We learnt so much about the history of the area. The pace was great and she was really willing to answer lots of questions. She was very relaxed and had a great sense of humour. We loved it so much we have booked the Arab Street tour for tomorrow. Thanks so much Chey.

5.00This tour was top class! It was titled as Chinatown, but it covered much more. We learned about the history and evolution of Singapore. The knowledge, engaging personality and humour of our tour guide (Ken?) was brilliant. Thank you so much for- well worth the time spent!
Highly recommended tour
