Singapore River & Kampong Glam Walking Tour with Teh Tarik

Step back in time and discover the story behind modern Singapore on this immersive heritage walking tour. Begin at the historic Singapore River, where Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1819 and forged agreements with Temenggong Abdul Rahman and Sultan Hussein Shah, laying the foundations for a thriving British trading port.

As you stroll along the river, uncover how geography, trade, and vision transformed a small settlement into one of the world's great cities. Follow the story as it continues to Kampong Glam by public transport, the district designated for the Sultan, his family, and the Malay community under Raffles' Town Plan.

Explore iconic landmarks including Istana Kampong Gelam, Gedung Kuning, and Sultan Mosque while discovering the stories of Malay royalty, early communities, and the cultural traditions.

More than just a sightseeing experience, this tour weaves together people, places, and events into one chronological journey, helping you understand not only what happened, but why Singapore became the vibrant multicultural nation it is today.

End the tour with a refreshing cup of Teh Tarik, the traditional Indian Muslim "pulled tea."
