Guided Bus Tour - The Sea Around Us in Singapore

The "Sea Around Us" tour explores the Singapore River's journey from its early days to its current transformation into a vibrant F&B and tourism hub. Participants will also learn about Singapore’s port, its rich history, iconic landmarks rooted in maritime heritage, and its current status as one of the world’s leading ports.
