Savvy travelers and locals who know all about the usual tourist attractions are increasingly looking for tours that show them new experiences and places and the way locals live. Read about this trend in the Straits Times article: Heartland tours drawing tourists - and locals.

Tribe's Disappearing Trades won the 2017 Singapore Tourism Award in the Experience Excellence (Leisure) category. This tour was recognized for its original concept and story-telling of trades that are slowly disappearing from Singapore in a way that appeals to both locals and visitors alike.

A NEW travel company in Singapore, Tribe, has launched a tour that aims to offer participants glimpses of the personal life of the nation’s founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. The 3.5-hour tour, About Mr Lee, was introduced last month as Singaporeans marked one year of the leader’s passing.

A newly curated tour aims at unravelling the story of the late Lee Kuan Yew, from boyhood to childhood. There is no denying how the late Lee Kuan Yew’s political legacy and contributions have impacted not just Singaporeans but the world over.

Four-hour tour takes visitors to key sites, such as founding PM’s childhood estate For breakfast, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew preferred unsweetened bean curd and plain water. He apparently liked his beer at room temperature. And he kept a photo of his wife, Madam Kwa Geok Choo, in front of his cycling machine when he exercised.

Project brief was to create a symbol, a logo of sorts, for a story about the personal side of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. This content was delivered via a new tour by Tribe. As a researcher and content developer for this project definitely helped in the creative directions for this aspect of the tour.

Tribe organises experiential tours to off-the-beaten-track locations such as a local coffee factory to see how our beloved kopi beans are being roasted or to one of Singapore’s oldest remaining traditional bakeries. Participants will also get to try hands-on experiences such as learning how to cook traditional Peranakan food, concocting your own cocktail atop a scenic rooftop bar
