Excursão em Torno da Ilha de Singapura com o Eurasian Heritage Center (centro de tradição eurasiana), o Memorial de Guerra Kranji e o Bright Hill Temple (templo da coluna brilhante)
Comece com um passeio matinal sem pressa ao longo da mais alta ponte de pedestres de Singapura — Henderson Waves (ponte de Ondas de Henderson) e aproveite a exuberante vegetação nativa do Monte Faber e da Colina Telok Blangah.
Continue a oeste para o parque temático Haw Par Villa, embarque em uma jornada inesquecível pelo folclore e mitologia chinesa neste parque.
Viaje ao Norte até o Memorial de Guerra Kranji para prestar homenagem a inúmeros heróis da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Inaugurado em 1957, o memorial homenageia mais de 20.000 homens e mulheres que deram as suas vidas pela liberdade na Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Almoce em um restaurante local antes de seguir para o Bright Hill Temple, um famoso local ancestral chinês de culto e admire sua arquitetura espetacular.
Atravessamos da região Norte — Central para o Leste de Singapura objetivando nossa próxima parada no Eurasian Heritage Centre, que fica alojado dentro da Associação Eurasiana — um grupo de autoajuda que trata dos interesses da comunidade eurasiana.
Você pode perguntar — quem são os Eurasianos? O termo foi criado originalmente na Índia Britânica do século XIX para identificar uma pessoa em geral nascida de pai britânico e mãe indiana. Agora, porém, principalmente se refere a alguma pessoa nascida de ascendência mista — europeia e asiática.
Os três principais grupos europeus foram o português, o holandês e o britânico. O Centro de Tradição exibe a tradição e cultura desse grupo fascinante de pessoas e seu papel na Segunda Guerra Mundial.No final da excursão, o desembarque será de volta no hotel.

An enlightening and informative tour bringing to life the tragedy, confusion and hopelessness of those responsible for the defense of Singapore in WW2.
Enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was excellent. The history of Singapore is fascinating. We took in quite a lot of places and it wasn't rushed.
Commentary by guide difficult to understand his English Malay accent ... could only pick up bits and pieces of what he was saying. A shame as he was knowledgeable. When i asked a small group of fellow travelers if they were experiencing the same problem they all agreed that they too were frustrated by the communication . Points of interest were definitely out of the ordinary... would appeal to anyone interested in war history especially. If your time in Singapore is limited don’t bother, there are many more interesting places of interest within the city limits.
Excellent day out found out so many things about Singapore, the lunch at Beaulieu house was excellent and our guide Mr Foo was full of information. The coach and driver were very good.
This give a good oversight of the island of Singapore, with a look at some of its history.
Your picked up at hotel and taken to the Heritage center where you meet up with the rest of people on tour and larger bus with tour guide. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Singapore. If your a WW2 history buff you will appreciate this tour more. I was interested in the city and its culture. You will drive through most parts of the city. You also stop for a hour at the Telok Blangah Hill park where you can take a scenic stroll along the Henderson Waves path. You will also have about a hour to walk the grounds of the Par Haw Ville park. It was built by the family who invented the Tiger Balm ointments. The Kong Meng temple had a famous Bodhi tree that is from the same tree seedlings as the one that Siddhartha sat under. The lunch was nice and the restaurant was in a scenic park location.
This was an average tour that offered a little less than expected. The war memorial was beautiful and a sad reminder of the cost of war. The temple was a beautiful image of religion without conflict or controversy around it. The Eurasian centre was one small hallway of photos and 2 rooms of aging displays. Found it difficult to see this as a display for a tour and to be the front of the display title. A good day but not a great day.
The tour guide Foo was excellent -- he was 70 and had lived in Singapore his entire life. Very knowledgeable and friendly. A little difficult to understand at times due to heavy accent. This tour was well worth the time and money -- saw several things that are not included on other, shorter duration tours..
