Singapore: 4.5-Hour Small Group History & Culture Tour with River Cruise, Dinner & Tea Ceremony Experience
There’s no better way to see the highlights of Singapore than on a jam-packed 4.5-hour small group history and culture tour. Take a journey through time as you tour the historic colonial buildings and hop on a bumboat for a 30-minute cruise down the river. Wander the harbourside at Merlion Park before watching the sun set over Marina Bay. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, it’s time to visit the famous Maxwell Hawker Centre or Chinatown’s other popular food centres for a taste of Singapore’s signature chicken rice, washed down with sugar cane juice. To end your night tour, learn the art of the tea ceremony and try the Imperial tea that Queen Elizabeth II was served in the very same tea house!
