Chinatown

The tours are fully customizable, but if you are going for a shorter 3-hour tour, we would recommend concentrating on one of the major ethnic districts such as Chinatown where we will tell you a bit more about how Singaporeans live, work and play. We will also tell you a bit more about how the city is planned

Kampong Glam

Kampong Glam is a vibrant and colorful neighborhood in Singapore that will transport you to another world. As you wander through the narrow streets lined with colorful shophouses and street art, you'll feel like you've stepped into a version of Singapore that's been preserved in time. But don't let the old-world charm fool you - Kampong Glam is also home to a host of trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants that cater to a hip and trendy crowd. As you explore, you'll find a mix of traditional businesses like spice shops and textile stores alongside more modern establishments like artisanal coffee shops and trendy cocktail bars. No visit to Kampong Glam would be complete without stopping by the iconic Sultan Mosque, which serves as the spiritual center of the neighborhood. So if you're looking to experience a side of Singapore that's full of character and flavor, make sure to add Kampong Glam to your itinerary.

Chinatown tour for the senses

It was a great way to spend 3 hours learning about the history, religion, food, culture and Chinese people of the area. Eunice was a very professional, engaging and enthusiastic tour guide with many fun facts and stories. I highly recommend this tour if you're in Singapore. Bill

Chinatown walking tour Singapore with Eunice

Today we did the walking tour with Eunice in Chinatown and it was really nice! Eunice was a really enthousiastic and kind guide and took really good care of us during the tour (e.g. looking for places in the shade). She also gave us a lot of recommendations to try after the tour. She was open for all questions we had. Loved it! 100% recommend!

Perfect Introduction to Singapore

I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to really understand Singapore—its architecture, history, neighborhoods, transit and food\. Our guide, Su, was exceptional\. She spoke perfect English, was incredibly knowledgeable, and took us well beyond the standard tourist photo stops, providing an authentic deep dive into Singapore’s diverse cultures, communities and everyday life\. She also shared great advice that made the rest of our visit and sightseeing even better\. During our half\-day...read more

Dear Liz, Sending the warmest hugs all the way to Toronto! I was so incredibly proud of you and Jim! Stepping off a long flight from Canada into our tropical heat can be overwhelming, but you both mastered our MRT and public bus systems so quickly. My favorite part of hosting our Bespoke Half-Day Orientation Tours is making sure my guests know exactly how to navigate our island safely and confidently like true locals. I am thrilled my little transportation masterclass helped you maximize the rest of your holiday! It is quite a journey to weave through the rich heritage of Kampong Glam and Little India, trace the colonial history of the Civic District, and take in the modern skyline of Marina Bay—all in one morning! But you two had such wonderful energy. I hope you are both still dreaming about our hawker culture at Maxwell Food Centre. Whether it was the famous Hainanese chicken rice or simply soaking in the everyday rhythm of local life, I’m so glad we got to share that authentic meal together. Please take care, stay warm back in Canada, and let us know whenever you are ready for your next Singapore adventure! With lots of love, Su 💖 Lead Storyteller, Indie Singapore Tours

Fantastic food tour !

We had a fantastic food and cultural tour of Singapore with Jamie. She was absolutely lovely friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Singapore. We visited Kampong Glam, Little India and Chinatown, tasting some amazing local food along the way, including kaya toast, vadai and otak-otak. Jamie brought the history and culture of each area to life and made the whole morning so interesting and enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble, and we learnt so much while having lots of fun.
