Originally the seat of the Malay Sultanate, the Kampong Gelam today is an explosion of colours filled with vibrant wall murals, hip eateries and Indie shops, while still deeply rooted in its heritage. Walk with me to hear stories about its historic landmarks and the people who have lived here. Take a pit stop at a local tea stall and enjoy freshly pulled ginger tea, a not-to-be-missed experience, and some local snacks.

About Tour Guide Tricia L.

Known among her friends as an Energiser Bunny (cue the Duracell Battery advertisement) for her boundless energy and playful personality, Tricia has always been the “Chief Officer of Fun” and unofficial Tourist Guide for her expatriate colleagues while working with a global hotel group. Many weekends have been spent taking friends for long walks or cycling trips to every nook and cranny in Singapore to uncover its – many – hidden gems.


Tricia is extremely passionate about sharing stories of this Little Red Dot of a country she calls home. Her interests encompass food, culture, heritage and street art. Instead of doing run-of-the-mill tours, she will try and find out the interests of her guests before deciding where to take them, and her sunny, friendly disposition puts people at ease.


She is extremely proud of the great work that the Urban Redevelopment Authority is doing and volunteers at the Singapore City Gallery managed by them.
