Singapore’s dynamic ethnic neighbourhoods with enduring traditions showcase a vibrant past, but also thrive on reinvention. Discover history, heritage, art and architecture as your guide walks you through narrow lanes, awakening your senses with the scents, colours, sounds and flavours on display around these historic neighbourhoods. Our 2 or 3 hour ‘Saris, Sultans and shophouses’ tour takes you to two of our three ethnic quarters.

In Chinatown you will stroll down the original shoreline where early migrants first landed on Singapore soil. Admire the gorgeous architecture of the oldest existing Chinese temple in the country. Hear about experiences of the early migrants, and what life was like living and working within the shophouses, as you stroll through these. Visualise what the street scenes of yesteryear were like by admiring the intricate details of the wall murals that are created to look 3-dimensional.

Next, take the train to Little India. The train fare is easily paid by tapping your credit card (Visa/Mastercard only) against the card reader at the gantries in the station. (Foreign-issued credit
cards are accepted.)

On arrival in Little India, you will be immersed in the exotic scents, colourful sights & spicy tastes. Discover the traditional trades within this precinct, and the local Indian community’s cultural practices & faith, through the medium of street art found in the side lanes & back alleys.
