What Our Travelers Say
The Singapore City walking tour took us through the civic district and along the river, with stops at the Fullerton Hotel, the Merlion, Victoria Theatre, and Parliament House. Cecilia mixed history with fun details that kept everyone engaged. It was both educational and entertaining, and a perfect introduction to the city in just a couple of hours.

Singapore City Free Walking Tour
We joined three tours, the Chinatown walking tour, the Little India walking tour, and the Singapore City walking tour. All were excellent, but the city tour stood out.
It gave us a big-picture view of the central district, telling the city’s story without too much walking. There were even spots to sit and rest. Informative, well-paced, and ideal for first-timers.

Each offered unique insights into history, culture, and local life. Lily were energetic, sharing stories about housing, food, and traditions. A fantastic way to see the city from multiple perspectives. Highly recommended.
