What a great tour. A Must to do it in Singapore! - I did all the 3 Heritage walking tours: Kampong Glam & Chinatown with Leo and Little India with Ping. What a great tour!!! I absolutely love them. Leo and Ping were great and they shared lots of info and knowledge with us. I was so curious to know better all these 3 ethnic districts and I felt in love with Singapore. I absolutely recommended all these 3 tours because it was great to know the past of Singapore. Please, do them!
