Leaving the pier, we shall proceed with a drive around Suntec City’s Fountain of Wealth – an impressive structure supported on four 13 metre (43 feet) high bronze legs, measuring 21 metres (69 feet) in diameter and weighing 85 tonnes. Following this we’ll board a bumboat, for a ride down the Singapore River through a night of glittering buildings, both historical and modern.Our next stop will be at Bugis Village, where we’ll experience the vibrancy and atmosphere of the ‘Pasar Malam’ (night bazaar), as we walk through it. From here we hop on to a trishaw, for a ride through the narrow roads of Little India to our next destination – the Raffles Hotel. In this world-renowned hotel, the oldest in Singapore, we will be served the famous ‘Singapore Sling’ cocktail.Unfortunately this tour is not suitable for passengers using wheelchairs, as both the bumboat and the trishaw are unable to accommodate wheelchairs. The bumboat will be boarded by gangplank and there are no toilet facilities onboard. If time permits, it may be possible to make some quick purchases in the pasar malam.
