Where does the tour end?

The tour ends at Outram Park MRT station, which is different from the start (meeting) point.



Walking for 5 hours sounds long. Are there breaks along the way?

Yes, we have four rest stops with seating, spaced out along the route, to allow you to rest your legs and recharge for the next leg of the walk. Some commentary stops also have some form of seating (eg. benches, parapet, steps) should you require them.



Is the route stroller or wheelchair-friendly?

Unfortunately, our tour route is not stroller or wheelchair friendly, as the heritage areas of Singapore are stuck with mostly old infrastructure. That said, most steps along the route have a ramp, slope or elevator alternative, although that requires small detours. A possible alternative would be to take a private tour, which can then be customized to best suit the needs and interests of guests.



What is the distance we are walking?

Approximately 4km (2.5miles) over 5 hours with some steps along the way, from the Asian Civilisations Museum (start point), to Outram Park MRT Station (end point). For the 3.5 hour option, approximately 2.6km (1.6miles) over 3.5 hours, to Maxwell Food Centre.
