Overview

See Singapore’s most iconic city sights in one easy, story-led walking tour from the historic Singapore River to Marina Bay.

Starting near Raffles Place, follow your licensed local guide along the river where Singapore’s early trade, migration and colonial history began. Walk past restored riverside shophouses, historic bridges and the Fullerton area while learning how this former trading port grew into a modern city-state.

The route then opens up towards Marina Bay, where old and new Singapore come together. See the Merlion, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Singapore Flyer views and the famous Marina Bay skyline while your guide shares local stories, practical tips and context that bring the city to life.

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors or travellers short on time who want a meaningful introduction to Singapore beyond just taking photos.
