This exciting tour brings you to the ethnic neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam. You will learn about their history, people, culture & heritage, which are what make Singapore uniquely diverse.
You will experience the everyday lives of the locals not only through sight and sound, but also through your taste buds. We will visit UNESCO inscribed hawker centres and sample authentic local cuisines and drink, some of which have been passed down from generations and are fast diminishing due to the lack of family successors continuing with the trade.
To experience the local experience even further, we will also be taking public transportation between the different ethnic quarters, which are efficient, convenient and comfortable.
This tour will help you understand how the locals live their lives, which reflects Singapore's unique multi-racial and cultural lifestyle, and at the same time fill your stomachs with really amazing food and drink.

Your tour is a fun and educational discovery of 3 ethnic neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam. You will learn more about these neighbourhoods, its 19th/20th century history, people and culture. Furthermore, you will be exposed to an authentic culinary experience of local street food at our hawker centres, which has been inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Culture & Heritage of Humanity. You will be led by a licensed guide, who is a 4th generation Singaporean of Chinese Peranakan heritage and has lived a huge part of his life in Singapore from the 1970's.
You will explore Singapore's largest ethnic area of Chinatown and learn more about how the early immigrants lived out their lives in the area. You will also get to sample a carefully curated street food experience at a UNESCO inscribed hawker centre, and learn more about the food origins and its influence connecting Singapore's history, culture and people at the hawker markets.
