HISTORICAL SINGAPORE
BICYCLE TOUR
Singapore
4 hours // S$80 per person
Discover the REAL Singapore on our Historical Singapore Bike Tour! Visit a typical residential town and watch the people go about their daily lives. Check out a market frequented by locals. Eat like a Singaporean; take a coffee break and sample some local light bites. Be awed by the juxtaposition of the city’s old and new architecture on this highly-reviewed Bicycle Tour in Singapore.
Hop on a bicycle and let’s meander alongside the Singapore River – where trade brought life to the sleepy village town in the 1800s. See historically important landmarks, such as a 100-year old fire station, museums, and places of worship. Of course we’ll pay homage to the statue of Sir Stamford Thomas Raffles, founder of modern Singapore.
Learn how the 2nd World War affected Singapore and see monuments in honour of the many who suffered. Understand the melting pot of people from all over the world living here.
Fast forward to the present and be awed by the ultra modern business district. Be right in the action as we cycle right along part of the Formula 1 route (sorry the bikes can’t go 300km/h though).

Experience Highlights
02
Chinatown
A Mosque, Indian and Chinese temples on the same street?! Right here in Chinatown! Understand Singapore’s diverse cultures and see how the various religions live in harmony.
03
Singapore River
It would not be wrong to say that everything about Singapore started from this river. Once filthy and crowded with squatters, it is now clean and boasts some of the priciest real estate in town. The numerous eateries and bars that dot the promenade come alive when night falls.
04
Boat, Clarke & Robertson Quays
Formerly warehouses for goods trading along the Singapore River, the only businesses you’ll find here are restaurants, clubs and bars. This is where the tourists and locals come to party!
05
Kampong Glam
The Malays are the original inhabitants of Singapore and no other place reflects this better than Kampong Glam. Be awed by Sultan Mosque and explore the quaint little streets around it!
06
The Museum District
Philatelic, Peranakan, National & Art Museums are all in the vicinity. The Singapore Management University (SMU) was established in 2000 and is the first and only public university in the city area.
07
City Hall
This area holds the WW2 memorial for civilians. It is also near the iconic RaffIes Hotel and part of the route for the Singapore Formula 1 night race.
08
Marina Bay, Esplanade & The Merlion
Making waves is the Marina Bay, the hippest place to see and be seen. The Esplanade is Singapore’s world-class performing arts theatre and concert hall. Or affectionately known as ‘durian’ to locals! The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a tourism mascot and national personification of Singapore.
09
Fullerton Hotel
Originally a fort built in 1829 against sea attacks, the main building was built in 1928 and used as the Post Office until 1970s. The Tax Dept took over until 1995. Fullerton Hotel opened in 2001.
10
Raffles Hotel
This is the business heartbeat of Singapore. Surrounded by modem glass skyscrapers, offices of the world’s major companies, financial institutions can be found here.
11
The Civic District
Look out for the Supreme Court and Singapore’s Parliament House. A statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of modern Singapore in 1819, is found here.
12
Speakers’ Corner
The only place in Singapore where you are allowed to hold public rallies, speeches and protests; right next to a Police Station!
Bonus
Stop for a Coffee Break!
Cycling sure makes you hungry. Along the journey, our guide will take you to a local food stop to take a break, where you can enjoy local snacks and drinks to refuel!
