I’m a Singaporean who loves uncovering the soul of the city—beyond the postcards and polished landmarks. As a heritage guide and educator, I weave hidden gems, forgotten histories, and everyday quirks into every experience. Ever wondered where to find the best local kopi or that Singapore once had its very own TV brand? Whether it’s tracing the scent of kaya toast in an old-school kopitiam or revisiting the days of Setron TVs in living rooms, I’m here to show you a Singapore even locals are still discovering! COME ON and FOLLOW ME!

Tour description

 

Psst… did you know Raffles appears in two versions — one bronze and one white? Ever wonder why the bridge you're walking on was once off-limits to cows and oxen? Or how a post office became one of the grandest hotels in Singapore? 


Join me for a storytelling stroll along the Singapore River — the very cradle of our modern city, where history, heritage, and high-rise dreams collide.  

 

We begin at the grand Fullerton Hotel, once home to the General Post Office. Don’t miss the original red post boxes — yes, you can still write and mail a postcard from here. 

Just a short walk away is the charming Cavenagh Bridge, Singapore’s oldest suspension bridge. (Fun fact: it was shipped from Scotland like a Victorian-era IKEA project!) 


Next, we zip into high gear at Anderson Bridge, now part of the F1 Marina Bay Street Circuit.  We end our journey at the stunning Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall 

 

📍 TOUR STOPS & HIGHLIGHTS 

  • Fullerton Hotel
  • The Bridges Tales 
  • Victoria Theatre & Concert Hall
  • Singapore River Tales 


This isn’t just a walk — it’s a time machine. You’ll see how Singapore reshaped not just its skyline, but its soul — through stories of sweat, vision, and transformation. It’s where the past flows into the future, and every corner hides a surprise. 

I can't wait to share the stories with you! See you soon!!
