Walk Through the Past, Present & Future
Join us to discover the historic Singapore River! Experience its sights and delve into the past, present, and future of this vibrant city. Uncover stories and appreciate the rich heritage of Singapore on this enlightening tour.
Things to do Walk Through the Past, Present & Future
The tour starts at the exact location where Singapore first transformed from a sleepy fishing village to the island's powerhouse. Be awed by the Grand Dames of colonial buildings. Be captivated by the stories of the past, present, and future of Singapore, all in a single walk. And when it’s time to enjoy a short respite from the tropical sun, you have the option to enjoy the rustic charm of a tongkang boat as it gently putt-putt its way down the lifeline of Singapore while allowing the sights of Marina Bay to take your breath away. To cap off an unforgettable journey, savor one of the many vanishing trades - ice cream on bread, a literal ice cream sandwich! With tropical flavors like attap chee or durian, we challenge you to stop at one!

“Walk through the past, present and future”
Thanks to our amazing guide Stephen, this tour gave me a good understanding of Singapore’s history and plans for the future. We walked by historical sites, stopped to admire the Merlion Park and statue, the Fullerton hotel, the magestic Marina Bay Sand and continued to walk towards Clarke Quay.
Stephen’s knowledge of history and the functioning of government services such as housing, retirement, Medicare, the infrastructure of the city, the values and traditions of the different cultures that make up Singapore, is amazing and breath taking! He answers all the questions with great details without rushing and includes anecdotes. He also makes sure all participants are comfortable with the pace. He is considerate, polite and punctual. Thank you Stephen for giving such an excellent and unforgettable tour of the city.

“Excellent tour with an excellent guide”
Our tour in Singapore was absolutely outstanding, thanks to our guide, Stephen. From the moment we met, it was clear that Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the city. He shared fascinating insights into Singapore’s history, culture, and hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own.
What truly set this tour apart were Stephen's personalized recommendations. He not only suggested the best spots to visit but also accompanied us to each one, ensuring we had the best experience possible. His advice on where to eat, shop, and explore was spot-on, and we felt like we were getting an insider's perspective on Singapore.
Stephen's professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made this tour one of the best we’ve ever taken. If you’re planning to visit Singapore, I highly recommend booking the tour "Walk Through the Past, Present & Future" with Stephen – you won’t be disappointed!
