Discover the local culture of Singapore on a guided walking tour. Stroll through the city’s streets and visit a traditional wet market, a coffee shop, and a flower shop.
Start your tour by walking along the “five foot walkways” of the shophouses, a common element of Singapore’s architecture before World War II. These sheltered paths are characteristic of these quirky buildings.
Stop at a nearby coffee shop and try some of the shop’s best blends of coffee and crispy toast, both local favorites for decades.
Head onward toward a traditional wet market. Peruse bustling market stalls brimming with fresh vegetables, seafood, and even live frogs.
Hop on-board the public train network bound for your next stop: Little India. Disembark your train and walk a short distance to reach rows of shops selling produce, spices, and flower gardens in a riot of vibrant colors and scents.
Make your way through the frenzy to arrive at the shop of a renaissance-man-cum-shop owner who is famous for making flower garlands as well as tailoring Indian saris and suits. Chat with him about his trade and learn a bit about business in this bustling corner of the city.
Finally, continue on to the gateway to Tekka market and get an up close and personal look at shopkeepers tossing prata and pouring the tarik. Dig into these local delicacies to wrap up your journey.
