Tour description

There was a time when fishing boats and spices lined our colonial shore. From a fishing village to a modern metropolis, the transformation of Singapore is an impressive story, best told through historical landmarks like the Old Parliament House nestled in the Civic District of Singapore. This tour revolves around the heartbeat of our city - the Singapore River.
Join our tour guides on this exploratory walking tour of Singapore and learn more about our rich history through inspiring stories that have shaped our Lion City.

Other highlights include visiting the iconic:

Merlion Park
The historically significant Padang
The neoclassical Victoria Theatre.

Bernard was a wonderful tour guide! We had our 2 kids, and all other visitors were adults. He was so gracious with our children, and answered their many questions. He brought knowledge about the city and personal experience, that really made the tour very interesting and informative. Truly recommend him!

It was a tour starting in the financial district and finishing by the Marina Bay, which included visiting the most historical places of the city. We also got a crash course in Singaporean history. It wasn't too heavy on walking - we did only around 1.7km and we went inside air-conditioned buildings regularly on the way. At the end it was also possible to pay by card

We were disappointed because the Guru tour guide didn't show up . There's 3 couples including us who waited and waited for about half an hour. One of the couples even contacted him but no response .We forego some other ways to see Singapore just to attend this tour and so it's upsetting for the tour guide not to show up nor let us know about cancellation .Not reliable and trustworthy company !!
