★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,240 reviews · from $79

Start near Clarke Quay at 6 pm for a 3.5-hour guided walk along the Singapore River to Lau Pa Sat.

Guides such as Ping, Heng, and Linda have led this route.

“This tour was excellent but not exactly the food tour I was expecting. I thought this would be a food tour with a local helping us choose what hawker to eat from. It was this but with many hours of walking tour with historical facts without food mixed in. I appreciated all I learned on the tour but want to warn guests this is not the “come hungry eat the whole time” tour I thought I was signing up for. We were very hungry for the over an hour we walked the city with no food because we arrived ready to eat.”
