Our guided walking tour takes us through both the past and present experiences of being gay or lesbian in Singaporean society; aiming not only to enrich your own personal knowledge of our vibrant local LGBT+ culture and communities, but also empower you to explore these areas with newfound confidence and pride. Now is the perfect opportunity to uncover another facet of Singapore - previously unseen by many people – which has been shrouded in secrecy due to its former criminality.

Explore our rich LGBTQ+ history on a walking tour that charts just how far—or how little—we’ve come as an inclusive nation. The walk immerses you in downtown Singapore, taking you from narrow alleys where clandestine encounters once took place to expansive public squares where Pride marches now take center stage. Led by a certified guide, this experience weaves together historical facts and personal narratives shared by members of the community. The tour welcomes everyone; there’s no requirement to be part of the LGBTQ+ community to join us. **About Your Guide:** Guiding visitors around the city has been a rewarding exchange for both parties.
