Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Hungry? We hope so! It’s time to step into the kitchen and get to know Singapore through some of its iconic local dishes. Join us for a hands-on cooking experience where you’ll learn how to make popular Singaporean treats like chilli crab sauce and pandan chiffon cake, as well as snacks such as pineapple tarts and ondeh-ondeh, (a type of soft and chewy Asian dessert).
We’ll start with Pandan chiffon cake, Singapore's most loved cake, has been touted as one of the world's best cakes. The highlight of this cake is pandan, which not only gives it a beautiful fragrance, but also its signature green hue. This light and fluffy chiffon of Asian origin might look unassuming, but every bite will definitely leave you wanting more. The chef will demonstrate how to put the cake together, so there will be nothing to distract you from learning his method.
Next up is demonstration on how to make chilli crab sauce — with a twist. Beer is widely used as an ingredient to whip up yummy dishes and we’ll be showing you how to use it to enhance our famous chilli crab sauce, served with crabmeat on a bed of salad. Even home cooks can master this dish with our winning and easy recipe!
We’ll get hands on now with our next recipe, pineapple tarts, which are widely savoured during festive seasons such as Chinese New Year as pineapple, when pronounced in mandarin, means bringing good fortune.
Lastly, you’ll get to make ondeh-ondeh from scratch. The popular Asian dessert is soft and chewy thanks to the sweet potato and glutinous rice flour it’s made with. It is then filled with gula melaka (palm sugar) and covered with desiccated coconut. This authentic recipe is fuss-free and can be done in a short time.
After all that cooking and eating, we’ll enjoy a teatime break with a refreshing drink.
