“If you just do one tour in Singapore, make it one of these. Led by informed, enthusiastic guides, these walks through various parts of the city – including Chinatown, Little India and Quays – provide a fascinating insight into Singapore's past, including the down-and-dirty stuff you won't hear about anywhere else.  The WWII tour is excellent too.”
