What To Expect

Join us on a journey through Singapore from past to present. Enjoy dinner in a Hawker Centre and a tea ceremony.

You start your journey with the founding of Modern Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles, visiting historic colonial buildings to learn about the early pioneers who came to Singapore.

You will board a bumboat and cruise down the river through to the present day. Visit Merlion Park and soak in the sunset view of Marina Bay whilst learning about the mega construction project behind it.

Discuss the political reform by Mr Lee Kuan Yew and discover how Singapore went from third-world to first-world in one generation.

Feast on Singapore’s most iconic dish; Chicken Rice at Hawker Centre in Chinatown. Your guide will teach you Hawker Centre etiquette and point out all of the must-try foods in Singapore.

After dinner, retreat to a beautiful teahouse for a traditional tea-tasting experience. Try the Imperial tea that Queen Elizabeth II was served in the very same teahouse.

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. You must be physically fit and be able to walk 9km to join this tour. We do walk at a slow casual pace but if you tire easily we will suggest to make use of the occasional taxi ride to cut down the walking. In this case taxi costs would be payable by yourself..

If the tea house is closed for any reason we will include a larger dinner section. . If the rooftop of The Pinnacle is closed due to bad weather we will take you to a different HDB building..
