Tour description

Start the tour from Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), a walk that takes you off the beaten path to discover hidden gems within our busy business district.

See a mix of the beautiful city skyline with modem architecture and contrast against the colorful shop houses which are conserved and used for different purposes from their original.

Check out Singapore’s oldest temple, built in the mid 19th century, and learn more about Chinese culture, beliefs, and religious practices


Finally, a visit to a renowned hawker center where you get insights into Singapore’s hawker culture, a UNESCO-recognized heritage unique to Singapore. Practice these insights after the tour and get to order and taste local delights like a Local.


Through this walk, you get to better understand our city state’s challenges, our beliefs, and our lifestyle. Get to visit sights that most visitors do not and hear from our experience guru guides that are born and raised in Singapore prior to Singapore’s independence.

Notes: Minimum 5 walkers to start the tour

Wir haben außerhalb der bekannten Seiten so viel erlebt! Es war einfach toll. Auch zu wissen, wie in einem Tempel gebetet wird war super toll!
