This is all about the evolution of the Singapore home. As the population grew, there was a housing shortage. And the government had to build and relocated people from slums and squatter living conditions to new high rise apartment flats, known to Singaporeans as HDB flats. Learn about Singapore’s first homes - shophouses. What do they look like and what’s the story behind shophouses? Why the exodus from shophouse to apartment flats? When did this happen? Today, HDBs are regarded as enviable top-of-the-line homes. Visit a typical housing neighbourhood to learn how local Singaporeans go about their daily lives - from supermarkets to hawker centres, from void decks to fitness amenities. Highlight will be the home visit to a host family. This is a rather intimate meeting with a Singaporean family, where you learn about their lives, their daily chores and have a no-holds barred session where nothing is off limits.

Before the night begins, we’ll take you to a food street in Chinatown—where you can try authentic, local food. After Dinner, we’ll be heading to one of Singapore’s largest nightlife districts to uncover two hidden bars. First up, is a secret underground bar. Despite being on The World’s 50 Best Bars for consecutive years, they still feel like that cool kid who refuses to play by the rules. So forget cocktails that taste all the same. Over here, they create seasonal menus that don’t even indicate the type of alcohol used, just the ingredients—all to give bar-goers like you a multi-sensory experience. Next, you’ll be attending a Gin Masterclass by a guy who has an obsession with Gin and Tonic. You’ll learn and explore the botanicals that go into Gin, the process of making of it, and its unique flavour profiles. You’ll get to make your very own bespoke cocktail. Book our tour now and we will make sure you have an awesome experience at our top local bars.
