What to expect

This experience is set in Tiong Bahru, described as Singapore’s oldest housing district and a “treasure trove of inspiration.”
You’ll explore everything from quaint little shops and hipster cafes to iconic murals.

With your guide, you’ll follow an art-and-local-life trail: learn about the neighbourhood’s art deco architecture, understand the housing story,
go mural hunting, and visit traditional businesses to discover what life was like in the 1970s.
The listing also notes time immersed in “dainty books and words” from local writers, poets, and artists.

The tour includes a food crawl to uncover Singaporeans’ favourite passions and local flavours.
