Tour Details

Set foot in Singapore's oldest residential neighborhood Tiong Bahru! On this tour we'll take you around the city's oldest public housing estate, which is one of the hippest places in Singapore today, but also a neighborhood steeped in fascinating history. 

Tiong Bahru was initially a high end estate, where the rich tycoons kept their mistresses. Shortly after the Second World War, more flats were added as more people moved into Tiong Bahru. It gradually became a mixed community of middle class and street hawkers. Today, the old estate seems to appeal to younger Singaporeans. Many young entrepreneurs, attracted by its nostalgic charm and designs, have set up their boutiques here in recent years.

Your tour will start with you meeting one of our amazing local guides at a meeting point in the Tiong Bahru neighborhood. From there you will discover this fascinating area by foot, exploring all the beautiful art deco buildings, visiting the last remaining World War II air raid shelters, see the local shops, stop for lunch and taste several local snacks at some of the excellent cafes. Be prepared to be blown away by this authentic neighborhood that holds so much history! 

If you want to see 'real Singapore', not just places which seem to exist purely for tourists, this is a tour you wouldn't want to miss out on!

On this tour your guide will take you to see:

  • The Monkey King God Temple
  • Pre War Streamline moderne architecture
  • Beautiful Wall Murals
  • Different local businesses
  • The wet market
  • The unique container spa and wellness shop
  • The dog run pet area 
  • Air Raid Shelter
  • Typical neighborhood gardens
  • Tiong Bahru Hawker Center and Bakery
  • Have a snack at an old local snack shop

Experience the real culture of Tiong Baru, while taking in its most famous spots. Your guide will even act as your personal photographer for the day and help you to get some great snaps!
