Overview

This Mixed-Group tour brings you to the ethnic neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little India & Kampong Glam. You will learn from your licensed guide and an academic historian about the history, people, culture & heritage of Singapore.

You will experience the everyday lives of the locals not only through sight and sound, but also through street food in UNESCO inscribed hawker centres. Get the chance to sample authentic local cuisines and drink, and experience street food trades that have been passed down from one generation to another. This will unfortunately disappear in time to come.

To experience the local experience even further, we will also be taking public transport between the different ethnic quarters, which are efficient, convenient and comfortable.

This tour will help you understand how the locals live their lives, reflecting Singapore's unique multi-racial and cultural lifestyle, and at the same time filling your stomachs with an authentic experience of food and drink.

Activity itinerary

Chinatown

  • 1h 10m
Your tour is a fun and educational discovery of 3 ethnic neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. You will learn more about its history and experience local living, through walking in the area as well as sampling local street food at UNESCO inscribed hawker centres at Chinatown and Little India, and dessert in the Malay Quarter of Kampong Glam. In Chinatown, you will learn more about the lives of early Chinese immigrants who flocked here in large numbers due to the vibrant community and work opportunities. Businessmen, traders, craftsmen, hawkers and peddlers sought to make a living here. While some found success, many others found themselves succumbed to vices like opium, gambling and prostitution. Remnants of these memories can still be found along the streets of Chinatown and you will get the opportunity to relive the lives of the past in the present day.

Kampong Glam

In Kampong Glam, you will learn more about how this place came about and that Malay royalty used to govern Singapore, whose palace used to stand in the grounds. Be enthralled by the grand Sultan Mosque that still continues to attract Muslims from all over the island. It is an important focal point for religious, cultural and social activities. During the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, this area transforms into a popular night market with numerous food stalls as Muslims gather to await the prayer call to break their fast at sunset. You will get to sample locally known desserts by an independently run store in the area while soaking in the old and colourful wall murals that adorn all along the walls of shophouses.
