Perfect for lovers of architecture and discover Singapore through the lens of art and architecture.

Starting at Blair Plain conservation area, we explore a compact area of historical shophouses and terrace houses of vastly different architectural styles and reflect on the eclectic mix of Chinese, Malay and European design elements.

Next we’ll explore a local residential neighbourhood where brutalist public housing overflows with laundry and potted plants from the windows. Along the way, you will spot a Art Deco former train station on the way and we’ll discuss the style and impact it has for the city.

We will end our architecture walking tour at the glass and concrete towers of the Central Business District. You will learn about Oasia Hotel, a tropical "living tower" which is a prototype of sustainable design in the tropics, reflecting the modern architecture of the city.

This was the highlight of visit to Singapore. The tour with PS was amazing!, we are very happy that we did this next after our arrival. Because it set the tone for the rest of our stay: we knew enough to go back and try different things after the tour. It also gave us an insight of what it is like to live in Singapore by visiting places that we would probably have visited and by trying food that we might have never tried. We learned a lot about Singapore, if the past, the present, and the future. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Singapore for the first time. Whether you’re a foodie or simply curious, this tour is an unforgettable gastronomic adventure in Singapore! 🍽️

My wife and I went on the Everyday Art-chitecture tour with Kelvin. It was a great walk through a small section of Singapore and Kelvin was a great guide.

The walk started in an area of shop houses with Kelvin explaining how they developed and the reasons for the different architectural elements. We then looked at three generations of public housing, finishing with a modern private building showing how plants can be used in a high rise tower.

The walk took a bit over 2 hours, but did not cover a lot of distance so it was not physically demanding. It was hot so it would be a good idea to bring something to drink.

The architecture was interesting, but the unexpected highlight for me was learning about Singapore’s history, particularly how people lived in the not very distant past and how that changed over time.

Kelvin knows the architecture and history well, but presents it in a very natural and engaging way. If you are interested in learning about the less well known parts of Singapore I recommend getting in touch with the Everyday Tour Company.

Our group of students had an incredible time with Everyday Tour Company on their treasure hunt game tour! The clever clues had us exploring the city's landmarks and hidden spots, making the class work together as a team. The treasure hunt was a good mix of fun, learning and a little sweat! Highly recommend P.S and her company to educational institutions seeking a memorable adventure that gets your students moving and thinking.
Thanks for the interactive experience! 😀

We had an excellent tour today with Kelvin. He took our group of 6 on an amazing tour showcasing food and street art in Singapore.

He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. His organization was exemplary and the food stalls he chose for us were excellent. A wide range of foods at many different stalls throughout the city.

His historical and current knowledge of Singapore was also excellent.

Thank you so much Kelvin. An excellent tour was enjoyed by our group of six.

We had a fantastic tour with Kelvin, who showcased the street art and murals of Little India and Chinatown. Beautiful art and wonderful food and history. Couldn’t recommend Kelvin more highly.

This was a fantastic tour around Chinatown that provided an opportunity to understand the architecture and social history of Singapore. The tour looked at the development of buildings in the city from traditional shopfront houses to public housing and new hotels and apartments.

Kelvin was a highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide - a great 2 hours and highly recommended especially for people who want to go beyond the usual tourist attractions.

P.S. from Everyday Tour Company guided us through a Singapore Architecture Tour on a typical boat and not only could show us the magnificent architectural jewels of Singapore but also has bound these to the topics we have approached during our Executive Education program.
She handled the whole logistical organization rapidly and her communication was always supportive.
P.S. has a good sense of what people needed, making sure they get time for their pictures and networking after giving them enough info on what surrounds them.
We have already booked twice and will probably book her again for your next program in Singapore.

We went on a lovely tour of Orchard Road with PS on the 28th of Oct. Not only did we get to see some beautiful buildings of the past, we also learned some fascinating facts about the hidden side of Orchard Road.

PS kept the tour fun with random pop quizzes, and she also pointed out some foodie places when she knew my wife was a foodie. Even though both my wife and I are born and raised here, we both learned so much about Orchard Road, which lead us to appreciate it as more than just a stretch of fancy shopping malls.

Highly recommend it if you wish to learn more about the hidden side of places, or just to have a fun tour around Orchard!

Had a fun and enjoyable day with PS. PS was pretty knowledgeable about the history around the area and we explored some interesting places which I wouldn’t have known if not for the tour.

Being a foodie herself, she had some nice recommendations on where to get some goody munchies!

Thanks for a fun day out!
