Awesome experience!. It is a must-do to see a different side of Singapore. The itinerary offered a fascinating look into the history of Singapore, a relaxing time on the beautiful Fu Ning boat, a climb up the lighthouse, and a nice dinner to end the day.
A unique heritage experience tucked away at Raffles Marina, this sunset tour offers a rare chance to step inside Singapore’s iconic lighthouse while enjoying panoramic sea views and a peaceful golden hour atmosphere. The tour feels calm, exclusive, and perfect for slowing down away from the city.
Very enjoyable learning journey at Raffles Marina, from listening through the vast history of Sir Stamford Raffles, went onboard the Fu Ning ship, climbed to the peak of Raffles Lighthouse & finally ending off with a sumptuous dinner at Marina Bistro!

What an enjoyable book launch and great insight to a different perspective of Sir Raffles. We may not truly know the the man, we read about him from history books and today learned something different - a leader with great foresight and how true leadership leaves behind a rich legacy impacting lives and nations. Well done, RBA!!! Kudos and look forward to the next series

We had an amazing time on the Raffles Heritage Sunset Tour! Starting at the Raffles Marina lobby, this experience beautifully traces Singapore's maritime journey from Raffles' 1819 vision to today.
The tour brings history to life through immersive storytelling, and interactive game. We loved uncovering hidden stories while exploring the scenic Raffles Marina.
The absolute highlight? Exclusive entry into the iconic lighthouse at sunset—breathtaking views over the Johor Strait that perfectly symbolize Singapore's enduring seafaring spirit.
Highly recommended for history lovers, sunset chasers, and anyone looking for a unique Singapore experience! 🌅⛵
Had a great experience for Raffles Heritage Sunset Tour & evening at the Lighthouse. Was guided by Florence & team, who were very friendly and accommodating. There was also a sharing about history of Sir Stamford Raffles. Pleasant evening and sunset view from the lighthouse was very beautiful, we were fortunate that the weather was great. 5/5!

I attended the Raffles Heritage Tour right after the book launch on Sir Stamford Raffles, and it was a fantastic experience. The launch offered great insights into Singapore’s history, which made the tour even more meaningful. Visiting the lighthouse was a highlight, with lovely views and a unique perspective of the surroundings. Overall, it’s a wonderful way to spend an evening if you’re interested in history and distinctive local experiences.

I was thrilled for my wife, who won third prize in the Kahoot quiz. It was nice to have the opportunity to slow down at the end of a hectic week. Good company and food accompanied a sunset tour of the lighthouse. The staff looked after us well throughout the experience.

As history enthusiasts, this place provided us a unique experience and something about Singapore that we would not usually venture into and gain awareness about. The insights provided by Gerald, Florence and Rusyda were excellent.
Mr. Gerald Chew delivered an insightful, rich, and interesting sharing based on his book on the life and journey of Sir Stamford Raffles. This was thoughtfully complemented by a visit to the Raffles Marina Lighthouse, where the experience became even more remarkable and inspiring—made all the more special by the beautiful sunset views at the lighthouse.
My sincere thanks to Raffles Business Academy for curating such a meaningful and enriching experience. I look forward to participating in the upcoming Raffles Heritage Tour to further deepen my understanding of the historic and strategic foundations of our island nation, Singapore.
Well done to Raffles Business Academy for bringing to life, once again, the personal journey and legacy of Sir Stamford Raffles. 👍👍
