The walk itself showed us part of Singapore that we would likely have never ventured to. The Katong area itself is vibrant and represents a diverse and eclectic mix of wonderful bars, restaurants and smaller food outlets. Jamie’s knowledge and explanations were second-to-none and this was, without doubt, the best part of our 5 day trip to Singapore. Thanks Jamie.
