Charming Chinatown Singapore Walking Tour
We are avid travellers interested in culture, heritage and tourism. Whenever we travel, we participate in walking tours. We believe that walking tours are the best way to discover a city. We are local licensed tour guides who are very keen to share the city state of Singapore with tourists and visitors. We call ourselves ‘Lah Kopi Tours’. ‘Lah Kopi’ means (in Hokkien dialect) to get together in a relaxed manner. This is how we want you to feel, spend time with us leisurely manner as we bring you refreshingly local experiences. Come join us and we love to have you onboard our tours.

Description
In this Tour of Chinatown, we explore the charm and vibes of Singapore's Chinatown. The focus of this tour is on discovering the unique and colourful Singapore's Chinese culture.
Tracing the footsteps of the early Chinese immigrants we will visit the historical Fu Tak Chi Museum and Tian Hock Temple. At the Temple, we will see how Taoist worship rituals are observed. Next, we move along Ann Siang district to understand what life was like living in conserved heritage shophouses and during the old days.
We will also cover the streets of Chinatown, where we will pass by the Sri Mariamman Temple (Yes, a Hindu Temple in Chinatown!) We will move along the streets and be wowed by the art murals of local artist Yip Yew Chong. The guide will introduce local street food and share stories of old Chinatown.
We end the tour outside the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and you will surely admire the magnificently-built temple.
You will also get plenty of food recommendations along the way.
Join us as we go on a journey of Charming Chinatown, and it's not the road usually travelled, that's a promise!
