So much more than just a beautiful river. Come hear the stories of what the Singapore River has lived through in the building of this nation, from expert local licensed tourist guides.

Forget what you think you know about Singapore's clean and pristine reputation. Once a very different kind of city, a fledgling port that went to the brink of disaster, the Singapore River's story is the most dramatic before-and-after in the country's history.

Walk through time and step into the lives of our immigrants, colonial officers, and early leaders to uncover the twists and turns that powered a grand ambition into the breathtaking skyline of modern Singapore. Join us on this walk to experience the hopes, struggles, and dreams that built a nation.

This tour involves a considerable amount of walking and stairs, and is not stroller or wheelchair accessible. Bring sunscreen, a cap, a water bottle, and an umbrella. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity.
