Explore the old and new side of Singapore on this full day city tour and learn about its history contrasted against the modern cityscape. Tour the old British colonial civic district and culture-rich Chinatown before visiting the Sands Sky Park and Gardens by the Bay.
Programme Details
Today’s tour begins at 09:00. Be picked up by the guide and driver at the hotel and explore the city by driving round the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Cricket Club, old Parliament House, Supreme Court and City Hall while learning about its history.
Next, stop at the Merlion Park and enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. Do not miss this picture-taking opportunity with The Merlion, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish.
Then, visit Singapore’s historic Chinatown - a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and local markets as well as new artisanal stores and cafes. Visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum and see the rich interior design and comprehensive exhibit on Buddhist art and history with stories of the religion spanning over hundreds of years.
Have lunch at one of the Chinese Restaurants. Savor the authentic Chinese Dim Sum Lunch - a style of Chinese cuisine prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates together with some main dishes.
After lunch, Cruise down the Singapore River in a traditional bumboat to see the legacy of Singapore's history. This is the best way to see the pivotal role the river played in Singapore's history as a port town. The cruise passes godowns and old shophouses, that now stands as a silent reminder of its humble past. Cruise past old colonial buildings contrasted with imposing modern skyscrapers.
Hop off the boat at Marina Bay Sands and visit Sands Sky Park, an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece, sits atop the three soaring towers of Marina Bay Sands hotel, 200m in the sky. Stretching longer than the Eiffel Tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo jets, the Sands Sky Park offers an unforgettable panorama view of the city.
Then walk over to explore Gardens by the Bay. Visit the Flower Dome or Cloud Forest cooled conservatories. The Flower Dome is a cooled conservatory replicating the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions in South Africa, California, Spain and Italy with unique plants like the Baobab trees, the Madagascar Ghost Tree, and the 1000-year-old Olive tree. The Flower Field caters for a changing display of vibrant plants and blooms. Then, be awed by the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 35-metre amidst the lush vegetation and tropical epiphytes of the Cloud Forest.
At around 16:00 be transferred back to the hotel.
