Guided Walk at CQ @ Clarke Quay (1 hour)

Continue your journey with a leisurely guided walk through CQ @ Clarke Quay, a riverside enclave that once bustled with the clang of trade and the aroma of spices. As your local guide brings the past to life through fascinating stories, you’ll uncover tales of early immigrants, warehouse economies, and Singapore’s strategic river trade – the very lifeblood of the island’s growth.

Wander past beautifully-restored godowns (warehouses) and shophouses as you listen to the stories of coolies, traders, and visionaries who laid the foundation for what was to become a global metropolis. It’s a crash course in Singapore’s economic roots – one that’s vivid, human, and filled with intrigue.

Singapore River Cruise: From Past to Future (45 minutes)

Hop onboard a traditional bumboat for an unforgettable river cruise through the beating heart of Singapore. The journey will start at Clarke Quay, drifting past Boat Quay, the iconic Colonial District, and the gleaming Central Business District and the Marina Bay area before returning to Clarke Quay. You will see iconic landmarks such as:

The Fullerton Hotel – Formally the General Post Office
Merlion Park – Singapore’s mythical guardian
Singapore Flyer – One of the world’s largest observation wheels

As you sail along the meandering river, you’ll learn how Singapore’s city planning and modernisation transformed a sleepy port into one of the world’s most advanced urban landscapes – all without losing sight of its heritage.
