The guides were tourism students. They took us along the Singapore River and through the Civic District. It was apparently two back to back tours--one longer and one shorter, spanning about two hours. There was less talking than on some other tours I've taken, but it was a good itinerary. I enjoyed the walk and definitely did learn some important... More

Best way to start with the city.We walked trough the interesting places,getting the taste of Singapore multiculturness.No troubles with questions about personal interest.Guides are easy going,open and informative ,without "im the improtant mr Guide"attitude.It works as others Free Walking Tours-You dont have to pay,but You may leave a donation.In my case it was well deserved.Keep up the good work!

This is now the third 'free walking tour' that I have done in a city around the world, and they never fail to disappoint, because (1) they are usually run by people with geninue interest in history or tourism and (2) they attract like minded tourists. Singapore Footprints is run by local uni students, studying tourism. Their aim was to... More

This is a free guided walking tour of "central" Singapore - tip whatever level you feel is appropriate. Run by a group of graduates in their free time on the weekends. They're all up on their history and after 2 hours you'll feel like you've got Singapore all mapped out (physically & culturally) and are ready to head off and... More

To the hapless traveller, Singapore might seem quite superficial – given its relativly short history. The guys from Singapore Fortprints (calling themselves "Walkaholics") are here to help. Each weekend, on Sat and Sun, three hosts (might be more, it's a big group of friends anyway) will conduct a tour through the historic center of SG and point out Interesting sights and... More

This is ideal for the budget traveller - the walking tours are run every Saturday and Sunday by a few undergraduates from a local university, and supported by a local statutory board the National Heritage Board. They do 2 consecutive routes from the late afternoon to evening, one around the Civic District (though they claim it to be along the... More
