Our Touring Philosophy
Guided Experiences
The most sincere way of learning is finding out things the hard way by taking the path least travelled. Our role is to facilitate this process by taking you on a route of discovery. Example of this would be our City By The Water Cycling Tour where you will learn how Singapore past, present and future is related to Water and how we adapted our lifestyles as time progresses.
Activity Based Touring
These tours stems from a core activity to which a tour is moulded around. Example of this would be the Famous Katong Foodwalk which is learning about how Singaporeans work, live, play & pray while eating through authentic popular local cuisine.
