"The best walking tour around the city. There are so many little neighborhoods that you wouldn't learn about if you don't take the walking tours.'
- Barbara H, USA
"A most enjoyable and informative tour. I learnt more about the Moslem heritage of Singapore today than I had in the six years I have lived here."

Tour Synopsis
How was Singapore sold to the British for 60,000 Spanish Dollars? Find out about the man who did it, and the man who forced him to. No one remembers the sultans that used to rule, except us. The old Royal Palace, the Sultan Mosque, the Tombs of the Malayan Princes: they all carry an air of royalty snatched away too quickly. Uncover a curious blend of Malay folk traditions and Islam in the legends of the mysterious keris (dagger), exotic perfumes, jamu remedies to every conceivable ailment and the story of the faith that is so often misunderstood. Don't miss this hidden cultural enclave where Singapore's indigenous culture still thrives!
