End Of The Walk
Finish at a convenient central location with access to MRT, taxis or your next evening destination.
A river cruise can be enjoyed separately before or after the tour if it fits your evening plans. It is not included in this 4-hour walking itinerary because boarding and cruise time would significantly reduce the time available for guided exploration.
The actual neighbourhood, route, timing and food stop can change according to your interests, walking pace, weather, opening hours and what you have already explored in Singapore.
