City by the Water Cycling Tour
 |
SummaryThe history of Singapore is closely tied to our waterways. Singapore has evolved from a third world country to a first world one within two decades. Much of the urban development is architected and planned to allow for sustained growth for commerce and the communities. The cycling tour gives an alternative perspective of how these changes have impacted the communities and how new developments will bring about regeneration of certain districts. Learn also about our dependence and adaptation to limited water resources. |

- PD, Jad, Ty and I have had an amazing stay at Betelbox.Tony you bought the culture, customs and history of Singapore alive for us on the food walk and cycling tour. The generosity of you, your staff and all of the travelers in welcoming and including our boys in all the activitis was outstanding. Nothing was ever too much troubel & we can't recommend the betelbox highly enough. Tyler will be back to play pool at 57 Chevy as soon he saves for his fare. Kaz Donovan, Australia
- Make sure you are there on a Sunday and go on his bike trip. One of the most interesting things I have ever done. Saye Mkangama
- One of the highlights of our stay thus far was the bike ride around the island. Yes it’s true – we had no idea what we were getting into!!! We started the morning at around 10:30 a.m. and didn’t get back until 6:30 p.m. We were tired but it was AMAZING. The owner of Betel box Backpackers lead it and knew so much of Singapore’s history.
- The cycling tour was amazing and i hope i can come back here one day to do the food walk! NeleDieckmann Germany
- Best start to a trip that one could ask for. Cycle tours are way of future. Best of luck. Richard Hartle, New Zealand
