Guided Tours for Once Upon a Tide

Please note there will be no 1pm Japanese guided tour on 04 Dec 2025. Only the 10.30am Japanese tour will be conducted. There will also be no Japanese tours from 28 Dec 2025 to 03 Jan 2026.

Join a guided tour of our Once Upon a Tide special exhibition and let one of our docents take you on a journey to learn more about Singapore’s transformation from a bustling port to a global powerhouse.

Each session is limited to 15 pax, first come first served, and is catered for individuals/small groups up to 3 pax (subject to availability).

Registration for our public guided tours is only available on-site, and no reservations/booking of slots is allowed.

For groups looking to engage an experienced docent for an exclusive experience, please refer to the ‘Private Tour for Groups’ section under our Group Visits page.

Tours are supported by volunteer guides from Friends of the Museum, Japanese Docents, Mandarin Docents, and Museum Volunteers.
