Hear from Our Participants
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

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.

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. 👍👍
