Jane’s Singapore Tours, led by veteran operator Jane Iyer, and The Urbanist Singapore, the heritage platform founded by Yong Min Ho, have launched Best of Both, a limited-time partnership merging polished guiding with deep-dive urban storytelling.
The partnership offers a streamlined, high-quality menu of experiences for the business events sector, featuring a hand-picked selection of 10 flagship tours that cover a vast chronological and thematic range.
For example, The Flagship: The Vanished Shore of Beach Road is a brand-new, co-developed experience tracing Singapore’s original coastline. The tour explores how the shoreline shifted from the days of orang laut traders to the brutalist architecture of Golden Mile and the iconic Raffles Hotel.
Meanwhile, the Stamford Canal tour is a deep dive into the waterway that shaped the development of Orchard Road and Bras Basah, revealing how hidden infrastructure still dictates the modern cityscape. There is also Alexandra Park, an architectural and military history study of Singapore’s famous black-and-white bungalows, exploring the lives of those who occupied them through various eras.
To ensure an intimate, high-quality learning environment, a dedicated guide is assigned for every 20 participants, regardless of the total group size.
“We aim to explain how our small island has evolved into such a successful nation. Our combined approach will ensure visitors enjoy learning about the real Singapore through curated walks that represent our unique cultural mosaic,” shared Iyer.
Ho added: “Singapore’s streets hold far more than most people realise. By joining forces, we can offer a wider menu, a stronger guide bench, and a more complete picture of this city.”
Best of Both is currently slated to run through the end of 2026.
