Description

This private 4-hour tour offers a balanced introduction to Singapore, combining key city highlights with a historic local neighbourhood. The experience is relaxed and thoughtfully paced, with easy walking, short drives, and regular photo stops. Your tour begins with a pick-up or meet-up in the city centre, where your guide provides a brief overview of Singapore’s journey from a trading port to a modern city. The first stop is the Civic District, the historic heart of Singapore. Walk through the Padang area and view landmarks such as the former Supreme Court, City Hall, and Victoria Theatre, while learning about British colonial rule, independence, and nation-building. Next, continue to Marina Bay to see Singapore’s most recognisable skyline. Visit Merlion Park for photos and hear how land reclamation transformed this area from coastal swampland into a global business and tourism hub. Enjoy clear views of Marina Bay Sands and surrounding landmarks. The tour then shifts to Tiong Bahru, one of Singapore’s earliest public housing estates and a real residential neighbourhood. Explore its distinctive Art Deco architecture, quiet streets, and back lanes while learning about daily life in the 1930s to 1950s and how the area has evolved over time. An optional kopi or local snack stop can be included if time allows. The tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel or preferred location, along with local food and activity recommendations to continue your day
