Been in Singapore for 59 years and love sharing stories about my tiny island home with visitors when I am not swimming biking or running somewhere else in the world.

Tour description

The tour starts at the exact location where Singapore was first transformed from a sleepy fishing village to the powerhouse it is today - the Singapore River.

After a short stroll, we cross the river via the oldest bridge in Singapore and be instantly awed by the stately colonial buildings standing side by side modern skyscrapers punctuated by melodious chimes from the old clock tower.

From here we move forward (in time) to Marina Bay, where you will be spellbound by the stunning Singapore skyline. Once at the waterfront, look up to see the majestic Merlion, the beloved icon of Singapore, as he proudly keeps a watchful eye on the island. We will have some time here to take in the breathtaking view before travelling back (in time) to the old Parliament House. Once inside, we dare you to sit on the exact chairs where Singapore's first Prime Minister and ministers once sat to debate the fate of the country.

After we pry you from the seats of power, we make our way to one of the most IG-worthy buildings that is also a national monument. From here we will head to the tour's end point, Clarke Quay, a lively lifestyle hub which incidentally is also the starting point of the Singapore River Cruise.

So, if you like to be mesmerised by stories and picturesque views of the past, present and future of Singapore all in a single walk then this is the tour for you.
