What is SG Culture Pass?
There is way more to Singapore than our museums and shopping centres. From 1 September 2025 onwards, all Singaporeans aged 18 and above can redeem $100 worth of SG Culture Pass credits, which they can spend on arts and heritage programmes that support local brands and curators!
Hidden Heritage’s Tours
Tours by Hidden Heritage take you to places in Singapore you never knew existed. Our heritage tours and walks combine access to sites typically not accessible to the public with storytelling which makes these places come alive. If you thought that you knew all about what Singapore had to offer, join us and be surprised!
1. Former Communicable Disease Centre Tour (CDC) [ONLY TILL END OCTOBER 2025]
Ever walked past the sprawling grounds between Novena and Balestier and wondered what stories these buildings could tell? Once known as Middleton Hospital, the former Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) spanned over one million square feet.
On this tour, history comes alive through storytelling, personal anecdotes, and rare photographs, giving you a glimpse of life as a patient in Singapore’s frontline defence against epidemics.
2. Fishy Business: Jurong Fishery Port Tour
Visiting Jurong Fishery Port on your own can be overwhelming, with heavy vehicles, shouting vendors, and a maze of activity. Join Hidden Heritage for a guided experience that gives you safe, exclusive access to the port’s inner workings. Thanks to our collaboration with Port65 and Serve by Hai Sia Seafood, you’ll get an up-close look at how seafood is received, sorted, and sold, without the confusion.
Uncover the untold stories behind Singapore’s seafood trade, from humble merchants to large-scale distributors feeding the nation. Beyond just fish, this tour delves into history, tracing Singapore’s earliest fish markets.
3. Behind The Facade: Secrets Of Katong
Step into Katong like never before. This curated trail reveals a colonial-era seaside villa, Singapore’s first air-conditioned mall, a forgotten cinema belt, and pastel-hued Peranakan terraces.
Alongside these architectural gems are quirky shops and little-known landmarks that showcase Katong’s eclectic past and evolving identity. This is more than a walk; it is a dive into the cultural layers of one of Singapore’s most storied districts.
4. Battleships & Bunkers: Sembawang Heritage Tour
Discover Sembawang, once a thriving coastal hub for shipyards, industry, and naval power. From a grand seaside mansion to hidden wartime bunkers, this tour uncovers military secrets and kampung nostalgia woven into the district’s history.
With its mix of industrial past, naval intrigue, and community stories, Battleships & Bunkers is a heritage walk that reshapes how you see Sembawang.
Upcoming-Concrete Roots: Sungei Kadut Heritage Tour
Gain exclusive access to a long-forgotten cement factory, literally the birthplace of Singapore’s concrete jungle that supplied the very blocks for hospitals, schools, homes, and even Facebook’s data centre. Beneath massive silos and along rusty conveyor belts, snap stunning shots of raw industrial beauty. Dive into quirky tales of sacred crocodiles and raging fires, hear the factory’s human stories fresh from its former manager and learn how Sungei Kadut is on the brink of a new transformation from its glory days during Singapore’s carpentry boom.
