Pickup
Meet me INSIDE the Bras Basah MRT station (CC2). I will be just in front of the Passenger Service Counter.
Description
Beneath the futuristic, modern city lies a rich history of an improbable country.
Join me on a journey through time as I share tales of Singapore's beginnings and the remarkable people who shaped this vibrant city. Explore an ancient hill and a transformed river, your classroom for today's extraordinary lesson.
My difference? I know I don't have many reviews yet because I am a new guide. But I have been a teacher in Singapore schools for over 20 years - Come experience our the Singapore teacher! This tour will be a 'lesson' you will not forget.
On this tour, you will,
- explore Fort Canning Hill and the many stories connected to this hill
- learn how Singapore's story is intertwined with the spice trade
- visit an excavation site which rewrote Singapore's history
- discover how the Singapore River has been transformed through the ages
This is more than just a tour; it's a chance to step back in time and discover the heart and soul of Singapore.
Important Notes:
- 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.)
- This is a 2.5hr walking tour so come after a hearty breakfast and bring a bottle of water with you. Dress light and it helps to bring an umbrella or raincoat. We will walk, rain or shine! (unless it is a downpour).
- Do note that this is a Pay-As-You-Wish Tour. If you enjoyed the tour, a recommended tip between SGD20 to 40 is appreciated.
