Good To Know

You must be fit and be able to walk 9km to join this tour. We do walk at a slow casual pace but if you tire easily a group tour will not be suitable for you. Instead book a private version of the tour so that we can cut down walking by taking the occasional taxi ride(At your own expense).
If you are a vegetarian we promise to get you something to eat at the Hawker Centre but we can not guarantee what will be available, it might be quite basic (like rice and veg)
This tour is not suitable for under 6’s due to the walking requirement. If you have young children please book a private tour.
If you book this tour and later cancel because you cannot walk 9km there will be a cancellation charge of 10%.
If the rooftop of The Pinnacle is closed due to bad weather we will take you to a different HDB building.
There are no refunds if you cancel your tour less than 5 days (119 hours) before the start of your tour.
