Fort Canning and Singapore River Join In Walking Tour

About this activity

Journey through time on this enriching walking tour that explores two of Singapore’s most historically significant areas — Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River. Begin your adventure at Fort Canning, once the seat of ancient Malay rulers and later a British military stronghold, as you uncover stories of kings, colonials, and World War II.

Continue your walk along the banks of the Singapore River, the lifeblood of the nation’s early trade and migration. Pass by restored warehouses, iconic bridges, and landmarks such as Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, while your guide brings to life the tales of merchants, coolies, and early immigrants who shaped modern Singapore.

This join-in tour is perfect for history buffs and curious travelers looking to connect with the city’s roots in a fun, informative way.
