Exploring Singapore in 5 Hours with Hello Singapore Tour Guide
Bob, Andrea, Nico, and Mariana had an exciting 5-hour private customized car tour with Hello! Singapore tour guide Gee Soo. They visited some of Singapore's most vibrant and historical neighborhoods, enjoying a mix of culture, history, and food.
Little India
Their adventure began in Little India, where they walked among old shophouses and along Serangoon Road, one of the oldest roads on the island. The highlight of this stop was the visit to the Sri Veeramakaliamman Hindu Temple. They were wowed by the intricate images and statues inside the temple, a true feast for the eyes.
Kampong Glam
Next, they explored Kampong Glam, a district that was historically assigned to the Muslim community during British Colonial times. They strolled down Haji Lane, the narrowest street in Singapore, and Arab Street. The ladies indulged in some shopping here, finding unique items and souvenirs. They also learned about the fascinating history of Sultan Mosque, especially the story of the glass bottle ends under its golden dome. During this stop, they enjoyed a classic Singaporean treat – Iced Milo and Kaya Toast, a sweetened coconut jam spread on toast.
Marina Barrage
Their journey continued to Marina Barrage, located at the southern tip of Singapore's main island. Here, they learned about Singapore’s fresh water supply and its significance. From the rooftop, they enjoyed an unobstructed view of Singapore City. Looking south, they even got a glimpse of the buildings on Batam, an Indonesian island.
Tiong Bahru Food Centre
The tour then led them to Tiong Bahru Food Centre, one of the 120+ hawker centres in Singapore. The group was thrilled to find Milo Dinosaur, a popular local drink. For lunch, they savored a variety of dishes including Prawn Noodles, Chicken Rice, Goh-Heong (fried roll with minced pork), and Sugarcane juice with lemon.
Chinatown
Their final stop was Chinatown, where they visited the City Gallery and enjoyed a short video about Singapore’s urban planning. They also explored the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, where each of them met their respective guardian buddhas.
