"With only 24hrs available to see the sights, your walking tour of Little India helped me maximise my time and gain valuable insight into this vibrant community."
– Laura Cohen
“The knowledge and information provided during the tour were absolutely magnificent. We can't wait to return to Singapore to partake in further tours.It was also a great opportunity to meet a lot of other people from all different walks of life and from different countries.
– Gary and Marg Bucknall, Australia |

Tour Synopsis
The cries from the abattoirs filled the air while the bhai susu outside rang their bells ‘Milk, fresh milk!’ Buffalo carts bearing goods and people of every shape, size and persuasion went rickety by. It was once said that there are three ways to India from Singapore: by ship, by plane, and by a short walk to Little India. At Journeys, we still believe that’s true. Look here a spice, there a garland, and hail, a sagely old bird who tells your fortune! One always finds it so difficult to resist the charms of Little India and it’s little wonder that this is one of our guides’ favourite Walks.

Tour Highlights:
- Paan and Garland store. Learn how flowers play an integral part in Indian life and what goes into the ubiquitous “chewing gum of the east”
- Fruit & Veggie Stalls (in lieu of Tekka Wet Market’s renovation. Slated to reopen by end-2009!). Make sense of the hoopla and buzz at the street side groceries with a little help from our guide
- Take it all in, the exotic colours and aromas, as we navigate through the bazaar at Little India Arcade. Learn to tie the sari and understand the meanings behind Indian body decoration
- Cross your fingers and hope to catch the Parrot Astrologer, a vanishing five-foot-way trade
- Check out a fabulously fragrant Spice Mill and find out why it’s indispensable to every traditional Indian wife worth her salt
