Description

Discover two very different sides of Singapore in one easy-going small-group tour. Begin in Kampong Glam, one of Singapore’s most colourful and historic neighbourhoods. Walk through the lively streets around Arab Street, admire the impressive Sultan Mosque, discover colourful shophouses and street art, and hear the stories behind the Malay and Muslim heritage that shaped this part of the city. We’ll also explore Haji Lane, the narrow street packed with murals, quirky boutiques and cafés that Time Out named one of the coolest streets in the world. It’s one of Singapore’s most photographed spots and a fun contrast to the traditional side of Kampong Glam. Next, discover another side of Singapore at the legendary Raffles Hotel. Step into the elegant surroundings of this historic colonial landmark, hear some of the stories behind its famous past, and find out how it became one of Singapore’s most iconic hotels. Then, experience Singapore like a local as we hop on the MRT and leave the busy streets behind for a completely different side of the city. Arrive at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the city’s most beautiful green spaces. Stroll through lush tropical gardens before visiting the National Orchid Garden, home to an incredible collection of colourful and exotic orchids. It’s a tour of contrasts—culture and nature, colourful streets and tropical gardens, heritage and modern Singapore—all in one experience. Perfect for travellers who want to see more than just the usual city highlights and discover how wonderfully different Singapore can be.
