Discover the exciting ever-evolving metropolis of Singapore in style with Bill Peach Journeys. Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, the natural meeting point of sea routes, “The Lion City” flourished as a trading post for vessels such as Chinese junks, Arab dhows, Portuguese battleships and Buginese schooners. Modern Singapore was founded in the 19th century, thanks to politics, trade and a man known as Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. Today, many slices of Singapore’s multi-cultural, colonial and wartime past are preserved in and around the city.
In addition to its fascinating history, Singapore is known for its celebration of nature. Be awed by the award-winning floral displays at the biennial Singapore Garden Festival and explore the impressive National Orchid Garden within the Botanic Gardens. Take in the striking kaleidoscope of colours visiting the Impressions of Monet: The Garden display at Gardens by the Bay and view the architectural marvels there which re-imagine nature with artistic finesse.
We will step into the past while visiting monuments, museums and memorials in this fascinating melting pot while also exploring the modern wonders for which the city is now famed. From the timeless elegance of a Raffles high tea lunch to the phenomenal modern developments at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore is the perfect blend of East meets West, classic style melding with modern innovation. Five star luxury at the Four Seasons Hotel provides the perfect base for this fascinating journey. An incredible journey, a true feast for the senses!
