Day 01
Singapore's Civic District and Marina Bay Walk
- Meet your guide at Raffles Place MRT Station.
- Begin the tour with a walk along the banks of the Singapore River. Here, you will see cruise ships and stop for photos of the picturesque views - your guide knows the perfect spot.
- As you continue, your guide will share the colonial history of Singapore, including the role played by the British East India Company and the nutmeg spice.
- You will then see the nearby Scotland-made bridge and the Fullerton Hotel, which was once the biggest post office in Southeast Asia.
- The next part of the tour takes you to admire the National Museum and the Victoria Theatre - did you know the latter is modelled after the famous St. Paul Cathedral in London?
- Walk past the Art House, the old Parliament House, and the National Gallery, then continue to an area where no buildings have been constructed since 1820.
- Here, behold the memorial to the Indian National Army, an Indian military wing that operated in Southeast Asia during World War II and was particularly active in Singapore.
- You will then step into a contrasting space filled with high-rises and glittering lights, catching glimpses of Marina Bay, the Art and Science Museum, Sky Park, and the Convention Centre before reaching the Helix Bridge.
- From the bridge, admire the famous Merlion Fountain and learn the story behind the name "Singapore". To end the tour, continue to the magnificent Ferris wheel known as the Singapore Flyer - the perfect place to say goodbye.
