From Colonial to Contemporary: The Singapore Journey

This is a tour that reflects our nation’s journey from past to present. If you are looking for something that is comfortable for all ages, this is THE tour for you. 


Enjoy an easy walk from the Civic District to Marina Bay, as you hear engaging stories about the early civic district, the nation’s maritime roots, and the importance of the Singapore River. We’ll visit iconic highlights including:
- National Gallery of Singapore [enjoy panoramic view of the civic district, visit former chief justice office] 
- Old Parliament House [look for the three treasures of the venue]
Merlion [there are actually two official Merlions]
Marina Bay Sands [lets sneak peak at the crown] 


You’ll also learn about the bold planning decisions that shaped this world-class bayfront, along with exciting developments on the horizon. Beyond the famous attractions, we’ll share meaningful, lesser-known stories that add warmth and character to the experience. 


This is a tour about enjoying the views, feeling the energy of the bay, and appreciating how far Singapore has come—while confidently looking ahead.
