Monumental Raffles Reminders of Singapore’s founder - Sir Stamford Raffles - are especially prevalent in the heart of our civic and business districts. Take a step back in time as we take your guests on a bum-boat ride along Singapore River to the spot where Raffles first landed. Since Sir Stamford Raffles’ days, the bum-boat has been a familiar icon, plying the waterways. In days of old, it shuttled goods between the trading ships out in the anchorages and the river quaysides. Today, the bum-boats steer us through a kaleidoscope of historic river and harbour images. Sail past ‘go-downs’ (or warehouses), shophouses and a myriad of gracious buildings that dotted the old waterfront. View Singapore’s earliest built bridges like the Coleman and Anderson - set against the towering skyline of the modern business district. A stroll through the civic district will enable your guests to get a good feel for the town planning approaches of Sir Stamford Raffles, which have shaped the Singapore of today. No historical trail would be complete without paying homage to the legendary Raffles Hotel. On a tour of the restored buildings and courtyards, watch the world famous cocktail ‘The Singapore Sling’ being created before your eyes. Explore the Raffles Museum and shop at your leisure. ENHANCEMENTS Include a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar or the Bar & Billiard Room. Present the Raffles Glass as gifts to your guests. Include postcards of Raffles Hotel for the guests to send home. Indulge your guests with cigars at the Bar & Billiard Room. REFERENCE: IS10 Duration: 3 hours Capacity: Unlimited
