Turn back the clock in Changi, once the site of many prisoner-of-war camps during the Japanese Occupation, the nexus of much pain and suffering, where life lay on a knife’s edge. It is said that more Australian PoWs perished from incarceration than in battle itself. With a view of the Straits of Johor, appreciate the Singapore defence strategy while at Changi Boardwalk. Discover a slice of old Singapore at the quaint Changi Village and learn about its role in the war. Then, take in the solemn sights of Kranji War Cemetery, the final resting place of thousands who perished in Malaya and Singapore. Hear their stories of bravery and commitment, and be inspired by the power of the human spirit.

Review for: Life, Death & Courage Walking Tour

Our guide Jooling gave us a very informative tour, she was very knowledgeable about the history of WWII in Singapore and the invasion by the Japanese and subsequent surrender. We enjoyed the tour thoroughly and the highlight of the trip was to the Kranji war cemetery.

I went there late but the staff still try to arrange me to meet up at the next stop. I really impressed in hospitalities. The tour presented me with history of the war and the story of old time. The guide is very friendly and also present her story as part of the history.

Review for: Life, Death & Courage Walking Tour

Knowing your history is important, there are stories to be reminded and lessons to be learnt. I like the kranji war memorial the most. It is well maintained. Here lie the unknown, Australian, Malaya, Indian and British soldiers. Tour guide is knowledge and passionate. Information cannot be found on textbook. Worth your time and money.

Review for: Life, Death & Remembrance Walking Tour

Wonderful, informative tour delivered by superb tour guide Carol, who was highly knowledgeable,passionate about WW2 history, tireless and excellent company. Singapore does not do enough to preserve and present its WW2 heritage, so private concerns and individuals ensuring those involved and affected are never forgotten have a vital role to play.Highly recommended, and very moving.
