Guided Walking Tour to the Historical Attractions in Farrer Park
Join us for a walk through Farrer Park and the surrounding area, an off-the-beaten-tourist-track destination brimming with hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
Listen to fascinating stories from the past, visit century-old temples, walk by legalised brothels in an active Red Light Area, admire the architecture of what is possibly Singapore's most beautifully restored heritage shophouses along Petain Road, and find out the locations of locals’ favourite food haunts all of which have yet to be picked up by the radar of the Michelin Guide.
Whether you're a long-time resident of the neighbourhood or you've just checked in for the night, you'll find surprises at every turn on this unique walking tour.
