Tiong Bahru Tours and Tickets

I hesitated booking this tour at first because my husband is vegan and it said in the description that breakfast would be at a hawker center. I’m glad I did! Our guide, Ping, walked us thru “local life”, where people of all ages were exercising in the Botanical Gardens, a view of the upscale residences of Singapore, as well as the HDBs and private condos, while catching glimpses of some flora and fauna. Breakfast at the hawker center was really good! I didn’t know Kaya Toast would be that good and filling. I mentioned my husband is vegan, and Ping made sure he had an excellent taste of local breakfast as well. Overall, a wonderful kind of tour that would clock in at least 10,000 steps, appreciate the early morning most tourists wouldn’t see, and remove any fears of eating at hawker centers even if you have dietary restrictions. Looking forward to new tours from this guide when we return to Singapore next.

From beginning to end, this tour was clearly a labour of love for my guide, Ping. Starting in the cool of the early morning, I was led through the botanical gardens and surrounding area, where I leaned about the history of Singapore and it's gardens, and saw the local flora and fauna. We then moved through Singapore, stopping on the way to see the sights, before finishing at Gardens by the Bay. Breakfast at a hawker centre was also a real treat! Ping was extremely knowledgeable and capably answered all of my questions, and I'd recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see early morning Singapore, and beat the heat.
