Description

Who is Mr. Lee Kuan Yew? What was he like as a young boy, a husband, a father and a friend? What were his values? How were they shaped? Much of what we know of Singapore's founding father is inextricably tied to the Singapore story. But what was he like as a man? How much of Mr. Lee's childhood do you know of? What was his relationship like with his mother, grandmother and father? Next, we chart out the beautiful love story of Mr. and Mrs. Lee, how they met and how their relationship blossomed. We share episodes and uncover gems about the mutual love, admiration and respect they had for one another. We also visit Oxley Road, the Lees residence for 50 years. A visit to their humble home cannot go without mentioning his simple ways and lifestyle. Next is Tanjong Pagar, the constituency Mr. Lee choose as his home base for nearly 60 years. And to our final stop, we end off in front of the steps at the National Gallery Singapore in front of the Padang. Min 4 pax to commence

A different perspective of Singapore

The visit to the Old Parliament Chamber room at the end of the tour was an unexpected bonus. Although it’s dubbed a walking tour there isn’t much walking so don’t be deterred by the title, it’s an interesting perspective on Singapore.

Operator response

Thank you for the positive review and for spending a morning with us to learn the lesser known facts about Singapore! My personal favourite is also the Old Parliament Chamber Room. It is not available all the time as it might be booked for rehearsals or event. Glad you had the chance to visit it!

Tour and puzzle around China town Singapore

It was really fun and entertaining experience. This was very unique in that the programme not only acted as a puzzle game but also as a tour around China town. I felt that the puzzles were imaginative and fun but the difficulty was a bit too varying which made it a bit confusing. The tour guide was really welcoming and friendly, was very well-versed in the subjects he spoke of and made the programme a hoy to be part of. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend this programme either to tourists coming to Singapore as well as others who want a fun time without getting too stressed over puzzles

Operator response

Fun Sunday out

Fun and engaging experience. The UV lighting at the end could be improved. Love the history behind samsui women.

A must-do tour! I love it!

As an active tour goer in Singapore, I got to say I truly enjoyed this tour by Iris, our lovely and knowledgeable tour guide from Tribe. I learned so much about Mr. Lee, his journey of becoming a Prime Minister, the love story with his wife, and the love he has for his people. I love the phase of the tour, a very well-balanced experience between walking and traveling in a van. If you are wondering if you should go on this tour, think no more, your answer is yes and if you are as lucky as my group, Iris will be your tour guide! :) If you are a traveler and have limited time in Singapore, this is a must-do :) I sincerely look forward to my next tour with Tribe! Cheers.
