About this experience

#Snaps #Eats #Vibes

We aim for our tour to have all of the above in addition to ensuring that the walking tour is comfortable and enjoyable. Why a guided tour with Istoria? Why not? Why spend excessive time and energy navigating?

Join us on a vibrant journey through one of Singapore’s most storied neighborhoods, where tradition meets trend and every corner hums with character. Discover the heritage and vibes that animate this eclectic precinct as you wander through narrow lanes alive with colorful murals and indie boutiques. Pause to capture the grandeur of the Sultan Mosque, a majestic landmark that anchors the community’s spiritual heart. Along the way, recharge with a local snack and plenty of photo moments.

We’ll conclude with a dessert that embodies hospitality and indulgence. A recipe lovingly passed down through generation, bringing the experience to a sweet and meaningful close.
