Singapore Old New Tiong Bahru Estate Walking Tour

What your day looks like

Set foot in Singapore's oldest residential neighborhood Tiong Bahru! On this tour we'll take you around the city's oldest public housing estate, which is one of the hippest places in Singapore today, but also a neighborhood steeped in fascinating history. Tiong Bahru was initially a high end estate, where the rich tycoons kept their mistresses. Shortly after the Second World War, more flats were added as more people moved into Tiong Bahru. It gradually became a mixed community of middle class and street hawkers. Today, the old estate seems to appeal to younger Singaporeans. Many young entrepreneurs, attracted by its nostalgic charm and designs, have set up their boutiques here in recent years. Your tour will start with you meeting one of our amazing local guides at a meeting point in the Tiong Bahru neighborhood. From there you will discover this fascinating area by foot, exploring all the beautiful art deco buildings, visiting the last remaining World War II air raid shelters, see the local shops, stop for lunch and taste several local snacks at some of the excellent cafes. Be prepared to be blown away by this authentic neighborhood that holds so much history
