We aim for our tour to have all of the above in addition to ensuring that the walking tour is comfortable and enjoyable. Why a guided tour with Istoria? Why not? Why spend excessive time and energy navigating?

Join us on a vibrant journey through one of Singapore’s most storied neighborhoods, where tradition meets trend and every corner hums with character. Discover the heritage and vibes that animate this eclectic precinct as you wander through narrow lanes alive with colorful murals and indie boutiques. Pause to capture the grandeur of the Sultan Mosque, a majestic landmark that anchors the community’s spiritual heart. Along the way, recharge with a local snack and plenty of photo moments.

We’ll conclude with a dessert that embodies hospitality and indulgence. A recipe lovingly passed down through generation, bringing the experience to a sweet and meaningful close.

  • A thoughtfully curated and insightful walk through Kampong Glam

    lsodshopkeeper,,Jan 5, 2026

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Walking Tour! The experience was well thought out from pacing to content and exceeded my expectations even as a Singaporean. The guide clearly planned the route with Singapore’s weather in mind, thoughtfully incorporating well-timed rest and refreshment stops so the participants stayed comfortable throughout the walk, which made a big difference in Singapore’s heat and humidity. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also engaging, sharing fascinating insights about the heritage, faith and culture of Kampong Glam, tailoring interesting facts based on the participants’ curiosity. Their passion for the neighbourhood truly came through and turned every stop into a conversation rather than just a sightseeing point. Whether you’re a visitor discovering Singapore for the first time or a local looking to see our city in a new light, this tour offers something valuable for everyone.

  • Kampong Glam tour with vibes and comfort

    The tour is chill, comfortable and brings you through a journey of artistic and heritage insights. If you’re looking for friendly vibes around Kampong Glam, Ronald (guide) definitely delivers and let you experience the hospitality of the area. We had a rest stop at Haji Lane where I was treated with a local snack and met some friendly people from BonBonMatcha and Faizal Caricatures! The matcha from shizuoka was delicious and better than some well known shops. Faizal was super friendly and great with his drawing! Highly recommend supporting local shops in the area! Istoria also collaborates with a few shops so we can get to enjoy some special discount while shopping for some unique things during the tour. There was sufficient rest stops and Ronald was very knowledgeable. The tour also includes snacks which makes the tour price very affordable, considering there was a Kunafa dessert at the end and the place is very aesthetic and air-conditioned. Highly recommend this tour!

  • Glimpse of Kampong Glam

    Instructions to meet Guide, Ronald was straightforward and easy to find. We are a group of 2 Adults and 2 Children aged between 6-8. At first, there was a concern for my kids - not sure if they could understand. However, Ronald made the whole tour engaging for the kids and at the same time, delivering the information and history of the locations. The tour ended with a mini treasure hunt and a taste of a sweet dessert. Overall, my family enjoyed the short 2hrs tour and would recommend families with kids to experience it yourselves!

  • Exploring Kampong Glam Vibes

    I joined a walking tour around Kampong Glam by Istora Collective and it was such a refreshing way to experience a familiar area. The tour focused a lot on vibes, culture, and fun activities, which made it feel relaxed and engaging. The guide was friendly and energetic, and the pacing was great — plenty of time to explore, shop, take photos, and just soak in the atmosphere. The tour highlighted local stories, and creative spots. This tour is perfect if you’re looking for something fun, chill, and value for money! Would definitely recommend if you enjoy experiential tours over traditional sightseeing.

    Relaxed, easy-going vibes with Ronald who is both knowledgeable and friendly and loves sharing the history and culture of each place. The pace isn’t tiring, with plenty of rest stops — from matcha breaks to kunafa tastings — enjoying the little trends and moments along the way.

    If you want to learn about the intricacies of Singapore’s social fabric, look for istoria. They are passionate and carefully curate their tours to be unique experiences, instead of just being a simple tour guide. The haji lane area is near many hotels, and has something for everyone - from very traditional shops/eats all the way to hipster vibes. It’s an every local favourite despite being a tourist area. Ronald has a knack for being really engaging and funny. Highly recommended!

    Serene is an enthusiastic and enthusiastic city guide. She is well informed about history, society, politics and the economy, explains very clearly connections and causes. It allows people of all ages and interests to experience a Singapore that is unforgettable. Her personable nature quickly builds trust. I am very much looking forward to my next stay in Singapore where further tours with Serene will be a highlight. Thank you very much Serene

  • A fabulous way to explore Kampong Glam without falling asleep mid-fact!

    If you’re looking for a walking tour that serves up culture, cool streets and good vibes, the Kampong Glam Walking Tour is where it’s at. My relative who was visiting from Europe & I, a local, enjoyed ourselves tremendously! We zig-zagged through Sultan Mosque, Arab Street, Haji Lane and everywhere is practically begging you to take a selfie. Plenty of street art, indie shops, cafes, local snacks, even a bespoke perfumery! Our guides, Ronald & Serene are gems! They kept the vibe fun while sprinkling in historical nuggets. What we liked most was how relaxed the whole tour felt. It wasn't a rushed, super structured thing - more like a friendly local showing us around their favourite part of town. We even had short breaks for snacks/drinks. Definitely suitable for all ages. Overall, this is a great tour if you want something cultural but not too formal. You’ll learn a bit, see a lot, and probably leave with lots of cool photos and a new appreciation for this side of Singapore.

  • A live unfolding of a story, each chapter has its hidden gems

    I didn't expect it but I really enjoyed being a tourist even though I have lived in it for many years. It was a very thoughtful curated tour for the dynamics of families (3 families got together). The curated spots got me to rekindle and evolve my experience of them. The tour is more of a narrative, a live unfolding of a story, each chapter has its hidden gems. Thank you for the experience!

  • Of community and conversations

    Walking tours in Singapore tend to be challenging, particularly when it comes to being comfortable enough (think humidity and heat) to appreciate what's going on. So it was a well planned tour with Ronald and Serene, leading the group from sheltered areas to air conditioned ones, making sure the route and stops wasn't too challenging since there were 5 young kids involved with short attention spans. There was apparent rapport with the store owners around and it feel like a community walk, listening to nuggets of lesser known information, creating the space for conversations between adults while the kids were engaged in craft activities. All in all, a great tour experience!
