“With the addition of the pub visits, this walking tour has the potential to draw historical buffs and visitors who just want an evening of fun.”
– Karen Yue, Singapore
“An itinerary along the Singapore River, where... specialty drinks are served at special rates while the guides embellish old Singapore lore with spicy scandals.”

Tour Synopsis
Take a break from the official history of the Singapore River. This is the walk if you want the alternative story - a perfect cocktail of bank breakers, vandals, terrorists, drugs and one fine lady. Heard of the English knight loved by two women but despised by a man of the cloth? The father and son team that did the Empire proud but were labeled as vandals by some? What about the man with no head for figures who broke the Queen's Bank? Or the lawmakers who pushed opium? Savour these tales while imbibing ales in charming pubs along the picturesque river bank. Swig, swagger and stagger through the back lanes of history.

- Visit the Singapore River Gallery in the stately Asian Civilisations Museum to learn of Singapore's implausible nomenclature through ancient stories and artifacts; browse through an array of exhibits on different communities who lived and worked by the River
- Discover the (sometimes bizarre) stories behind charming sculptures, as only we know
- Wander through the alleyways of Boat Quay, once plied by coolie labourers and bigwig towkays
- Hear the curious tale of the two iconic bridges over the River, Cavenagh & Elgin and make sense of Singapore's amazing global connections
- Only the juiciest anecdotes at Brokers' Alley and the Street of Mercy
- Savour more history and local quirks at three charming pubs as the sun goes down
