What you'll see and do
Kampong Glam
Kampong Glam is identified by the historic shophouses that have been carefully conserved in their original forms. With a rich history, diverse blend of cultures and a trendy lifestyle vibe, old trade houses are now home to a range of modern businesses. Shopaholics will be excited by the independent clothing stores and trinket stores that line the streets. Carpet and fabric stores are abundant for those searching for that little ethnic touch for home living. You will see a number of hipster cafes in the area, or be spoiled for choice for bars and restaurants when the sun goes down. The area holds much character, complete with pockets of graffiti walls (unheard of in Singapore!) that call for mandatory Instagram photos.

Hajjah Fatimah Mosque
The Hajjah Fatimah Mosque will captivate you with its blend of European, Malay and Chinese influences. Erected in 1846, it has an onion-shaped dome and an ablution area that looks like a Malay house with traditional Malay-Muslim wood carvings inside. You’ll notice Chinese glazed porcelain tiles in the parapet grilles on the windows, on the minaret tower and the top walls of the roof parapet. But what gets the most attention is the minaret, which resembles a church spire. It is three-tiered, with two octagonal towers and an elongated pyramid, and bears a close resemblance to the Neoclassical spires of the first St Andrew's Church.

Located at the boundary of the Kampong Gelam conservation area, this street was home to beautiful villas lined along the waterfront owned by wealthy Asians and many prominent European merchants. Today, despite its modern lifestyle, the area still reeks of charm and history through the presence of remaining architecture. Get a taste of multicultural Singapore as you stroll down the road to discover a mix of the old and new, contemporary concepts housed in traditional buildings and the unique blend of cultures.

Alsagoff Arab School
The Alsagoff Arab School was established in 1912 upon the legacy of the last will of its founder and benefactor Syed Mohamed B Ahmed Alsagoff. Students were taught Islamic knowledge and Arabic language, as well as reading and writing in English and Malay. The institution provided education to all Muslims living in the Colony of Singapore then. At such time in Singapore’s history, only a few schools had been established and this was a rare opportunity for the Muslim community to pursuit their education.

Malay Heritage Centre

Sultan Mosque
Sultan Mosque (Masjid Sultan) is a magnificent landmark at the heart of Kampong Glam – Singapore’s ‘Arabic Quarter’. The Islamic place of worship was built in 1824 by Sultan Hussian Shah (the first ever Sultan of Singapore). The impressive complex boasts a series of giant golden domes topping off the main prayer hall, and the outside is adorned in vibrant pastel shades of orange, cream and green, helping it shine even brighter in the strong Singaporean sun. Sultan Mosque is definitely up there with Singapore’s most impressive religious buildings, both in terms of appearance and sheer size. The main prayer hall can hold up to 5,000 worshippers, while the mosque’s dome base can also be accessed, formed out of hundreds of glass bottles that were donated by devotees as part of the building’s reconstruction.

Haji Lane
For a dose of quirky fun, stroll down Haji Lane, a stomping ground for Instagrammers, fashionistas, artsy types and troopers looking to experience a different side of Singapore. Possibly the narrowest street in Singapore, this back alley is filled with shophouses built in the 19th century that are now homes to quaint little cafes, cool bars, lifestyle shops and indie boutiques with fascinating graffiti walls.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Bugis
The vibrant colours, heady aromas and the culture are the reasons so many visitors love Bugis-Kampong Glam , which is one of the oldest areas in the city. You'll be having lunch in this fascinating area and it's perfect for anyone that wants to make an impact on their Instagram accounts with pics of the striking street art and graffiti!

Walking tours of Kampong Glam and Little India wit Ping Yeo.
John and I did two walking tours with Ping Yeo - Kampong Glam and Little India - and had the most amazing time being introduced to these areas of Singapore. Ping has such an amazing knowledge of the history and culture of the areas and really made us comfortable despite the heat.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you and John had such an amazing time exploring Kampong Glam and Little India in Singapore with Ping Yeo. Ping truly takes pride in sharing the rich history and culture of these neighborhoods, so it’s wonderful to know he made the experience both informative and comfortable for you — even in the heat 😊 We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another adventure in the future!

A Colorful, Culture-Packed Stroll!
In November 2024, my family and I joined the Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour with ForeverVacation, and we loved every minute of it! The area is full of vibrant street art, rich history, and beautiful architecture—and our guide brought it all to life with fun stories and local insights. We wandered through quiet lanes, visited unique spots we’d never have found alone, and even tried some yummy local treats. It was relaxed, personal, and perfect for a family day out. Definitely a highlight of our Singapore trip!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $123 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore Kampong Glam Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
