Description

Discover Joo Chiat and Katong on a cultural and gourmet walking tour of Singapore!

After meeting your guide downtown, begin your exploration in Geylang Serai, a lively neighborhood renowned for its markets and local food stalls. Here you'll discover the first elements of Malay and Peranakan culture.

You'll continue on foot through the colorful streets of Joo Chiat and Katong. You'll observe beautifully decorated traditional "shophouses", emblems of the local architectural heritage. These alleyways are also home to trendy cafés, original murals and specialty food stalls.

All along the way, your English-speaking guide will tell you about the history and customs of the communities that have shaped this district, with a particular focus on Peranakan culture, a unique blend of Chinese and Malay influences.

You'll have the opportunity to sample several local specialties and immerse yourself in the daily life of this lively and endearing neighborhood.

At the end of tour, you're free to keep exploring the area on your own.
