    The tour takes you on a wandering walk beginning at the busy shopping malls at Bugis and leads you to the nearby historic neighbourhood Kampong Glam. Start the tour in the app, put your phone in your pocket, and let your guide direct you through the streets. The total walking distance is approximately 2km and takes about half an hour without stopping, but you can pause anytime! Most people will opt to stop for photography opportunities along the way. Be prepared for Singapore's unpredictable tropical weather as this tour takes place completely outdoors - bring along a hat or umbrella to protect yourself from the hot afternoon sun.
