Overview

On this tour, we will bring back 700 years to discover the stories behind the Singapore that you see today. You will:

- Explore Fort Canning Hill and the many stories connected to this hill
- Visit an excavation site that rewrote Singapore's history.
- learn how being a former British colony has impacted our country today.
- Discover the importance of the Singapore River in our history as a port.

This is more than just a tour; it's a chance to step back in time and discover the heart and soul of Singapore.

Meeting point

ONALU Bagel Haús

On arrival

Please arrive at the meeting point at the colourful benches in front of ONALU Bagel Haús 10 minutes before the starting time of the tour.

Things to note

1. Our tour will end at the heart of modern Singapore near the Marina Bay Area (The Merlion is a very short walk from our ending point.)
2. This is a 2-hour 45-minute walking tour, so come after a hearty breakfast and bring a bottle of water with you. Dress lightly, and it helps to bring an umbrella or raincoat. We will walk, rain or shine! (unless it is a downpour).
3. We will be going up and down multiple flights of steps, so this tour is not recommended for families with prams or individuals with mobility challenges. If you are unsure, please check with me to see if the tour is suitable for you.
