Description of Programme
Embark on a journey through Singapore’s rich tapestry of heritage, history, culture, and resilience. Our “Heritage Walking Tour” offers an immersive experience, guiding you through iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and historical sites that tell the story of Singapore's transformation from a humble fishing village to a bustling metropolis. The tour traces the roots of Singapore from its earliest days as part of the Majapahit Empire, the Johore Sultanates, through the colonial era and Japanese Occupation to that of an independent nation. The story of the Singapore River at the heart of Singapore’s commercial life and the importance of trade with the world is recounted before our eyes.
