Your Guide To Singapore's Best Tours

Singapore is often unfairly criticised for having too few activities for tourists. People assume that once they’ve seen the Marina Bay Sands Complex and Sentosa Island, Singapore is hardly worth another visit. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth! Try these unique tours and see some surprising sides of Singapore.

Little India Heritage Walks

Recently, the National Heritage Board launched three new self-guided heritage trails around historic Little India. These walks offer a glimpse into the past of this vibrant neighbourhood based on three different categories: the Walk of Faiths, Serangoon in the 1900s and Shop Til You Drop. Although these walks were designed for tourists with a limited amount of time to explore, go at your own pace to fully embrace the neighbourhood.
