About this experience

Singaporeans originated from different countries and cultures, and this is what gives us our unique identity today. With this tour, we aim to take visitors beyond the city, on a cultural tour of the island.

We begin in the local neighborhood of Ang Mo Kio, with a little known hobby that transcended the kampong era: Bird Singing. Brighten your morning with melodious chirps, followed by a visit to the local ‘Hawker Centre’ for coffee like a true local. The local exploration continues with a visit to a wet market and a hawker centre. After visiting the first neighborhood, we will proceed to another neighborhood, "Toa Payoh". Here, we will see the hustle and bustle of a local town centre. We will see an interesting "Tree Shrine" and we will also get to visit a HDB showflat. HDB Flats are public housings where 80% of the local population stays in.

At the end of the tour, we can guarantee that all our guests will know everything about Singapore and the lifestyle of the locals.
