Let's Go Tour Singapore

Begin your Singapore bike tour from our shop in the heart of Kampong Glam. Meet your local guide, get fitted with your premium full-sized bicycle, and get ready to explore Singapore beyond the usual tourist trail.

Kampong Glam

Discover the Malay-Muslim heritage of Kampong Glam as you cycle past colourful shophouses, hidden lanes and the iconic Sultan Mosque. This vibrant district blends history, culture, street art and modern café life.

Haji Lane

Ride through one of Singapore’s most creative streets, known for colourful murals, independent boutiques and lively local character. A fun photo stop that shows Singapore’s youthful and artistic side.

Funan

Cycle through Funan, Singapore’s first mall designed with an indoor cycling path running through the building itself. This innovative lifestyle space showcases Singapore’s forward-thinking urban design and the city’s push towards becoming a more bicycle-friendly and sustainable city.

City Hall

Explore the Civic District, where Singapore’s colonial past, wartime memories and national milestones come together. See historic landmarks that tell the story of Singapore’s journey into a modern city.

Singapore River

Ride along the Singapore River, once the trading heart of the city. Discover how this historic waterway transformed from busy trading port into one of Singapore’s most scenic lifestyle districts.

Speakers' Corner

Pass by Speakers’ Corner, a unique public space linked to civic expression and local society. Your guide will share how public life and community voices have evolved in modern Singapore.

Chinatown

Cycle into Chinatown, where historic shophouses, bustling markets and heritage streets reveal the stories of Singapore’s early migrant communities. Discover how a mosque, Hindu temple and Chinese temple can coexist side by side within the same neighbourhood — a unique reflection of Singapore’s multicultural harmony and religious diversity.

Chinatown Complex

Cycling through Singapore sure works up an appetite. Mid-way through the journey, enjoy a well-deserved break at Chinatown Complex, one of Singapore’s most iconic local hawker centres, where your guide will treat you to 1 local snack and 1 drink as part of the tour while sharing insights into Singapore’s rich everyday food culture.

Central Business District

Ride through Singapore’s impressive Central Business District, where towering skyscrapers and modern architecture showcase the city’s transformation into a global financial hub. Along the way, pass by the iconic Lau Pa Sat hawker centre — a beautifully preserved Victorian-era market that stands as a striking contrast between old-world heritage and modern Singapore.

Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade

Enjoy one of the most scenic parts of the tour as you cycle along the Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade, surrounded by Singapore’s iconic skyline and waterfront landmarks. Pass by the famous Merlion — Singapore’s mythical half-lion, half-fish symbol — and the Esplanade, affectionately known by locals as the “Durian” for its unique architecture, while soaking in the vibrant energy of modern Singapore.

Singapore Flyer

Pass the Singapore Flyer, one of Singapore’s most recognisable skyline landmarks, as you continue through the Marina Bay area and experience the city’s modern waterfront energy.

F1 Pit Grandstand

Ride along part of Singapore’s famous Formula 1 street circuit and pass by the Pit Grandstand, where the city comes alive during the Singapore Grand Prix. Depending on event schedules and venue access on the day itself, there may be opportunities to stop for photos while your guide shares insights about Singapore’s world-famous night race and big-event atmosphere.

Kallang Riverside

End the journey with a scenic ride through Kallang Riverside Park, following quieter waterfront paths as you make your way back. Along the way, take in views across the river towards iconic Singapore landmarks such as the National Stadium and the futuristic Gardens by the Bay, offering a relaxing finale to your Singapore cycling tour.
