MAR-APR 2018 35 MEETINGS & CONVENTIONS MCMAG-ASIA.COM An Urban Farm experience at Citizen Farm Penjara. Beyond Singapore's squeaky clean image, experience the city's history and unique character through fresh eyes. Local gems A city of constant reinvention, the soul of Singapore can be hard to uncover. But visitors can dive into its local quirks and history, thanks to great storytelling and time-honed perspectives of local guides. Targeting corporate visitors to Singapore, tour operator Tribe Tours packs an insider story of the city's rapid economic transformation into a four- hour tour, 'Made in Singapore'. The tour stops at a maritime museum, local tea company and an urban farm. The private tour requires a minimum of 12 and can take up to 80. Customisations for tours are also possible. Working within time constraints, Tribe created a shortened version of the tour for a group of 15 international visitors and their spouses. Planners can also add team building elements such as a oral and herbal tea making workshop. For a more colourful exploration of Singapore's heritage enclaves, groups can hop onto hand-restored vintage Vespa sidecars around precincts like Chinatown, Kampong Glam, and Joo Chiat-Katong. The Singapore Sideways Vespa Tour is oered by Betel Box Asia. Tours can take four to 15 pax, while team-building events can accommodate 120 pax. Interesting classes include popiah-making and nonya dumpling wrapping. Take a spin on a piece of heritage on the world's first vintage Vespa sidecar tour service. Words Naomi Neoh
