About this activity
Join us on this small group walking tour (limited to 6 guests) to uncover these must-see gems of Kampong Glam:
• Old Istana Kampong Glam: Dating from 1840, the former Istana, or Palace, of Kampong Glam has been beautifully restored to become The Malay Heritage Centre. Come hear the riveting and intriguing story of how the Sultan was convinced to sign over Singapore to the British
• Sultan Mosque: With its graceful golden dome, this beloved Kampong Glam landmark is the most photographed mosque in Singapore. Find out what unique feature was incorporated into its design that had a social purpose behind it.
• Haji Lane: We guarantee you'll love the buzz at Haji Lane, where the eye-catching street art at every turn, and the eclectic mix of shops and cafes, has turned this formerly sleepy lane into one of Singapore's hippest

.Along the way, we’ll explore the historic streets of Kampong Glam to see some traditional businesses that have been around for generations, as well as how new cafes and shops have injected a fresh vibe into the area, making Kampong Glam a popular haunt for Singaporeans of all races today.

There are 2 ‘bonus’ stops in the tour not mentioned above. We couldn't resist including these because we think you’ll enjoy seeing them. Intrigued? Join us on the tour to find out what these are!

The tour is designed to end at lunch time so it’ll be perfect timing for you to enjoy the specialities of the area – our guide will provide some suggestions.

Very interesting, and very well researched by a charming guide who was very keen to show us things we might ordinarily miss.
