Was du erleben wirst

During the tour, we will discover Katong, a residential neighborhood with amazingly preserved exteriors filled with a hyper mix of cultural diversity. It's also called the Jewel of the East.

We'll start at the edge of the Katong neighborhood from where we'll walk through a couple of streets to admire the landscape and colonial buildings. Along the way we'll grab some local snacks, from the super traditional food to interesting fusions with a modern twist. You'll get to admire and purchase some local memorabilia. Don't worry, I'll translate the Singlish (Singaporean English)!

BONUS:
1. Katong is parallel to East Coast Park which is our main beach. If you have the energy to go on after the tour, great! I'll take you to my favourite spot and you can chill the evening away.
2. Katong is filled with interesting bars. I'll share more in person.

Do take note of the following details.

Wer ist dein Guide?

Working in advertising fills my wallet, exploring hidden pockets of wonder fuels my soul. Which travelers would appreciate me most? The foodies looking for hidden gems and the silent alcoholics who like a good drink but are too shy to admit. (It's ok, I'll keep your drinking a secret)
