Hey! I'm Singapore and would love go with my non-Singaporean husband on the Triad History tour. He's neither PR nor a pass holder - I note that you state tourists are welcomed in Q4 of this year. Is this time yet? hah. We leave 3 Nov so would like to book in for this before then. Let me know if possible, thank you!

Can kids attend the tour ? What food is served ?
Shailaja , 27 Jan 2023
Hi Shailaja, yes kids are welcome! Regarding food it's either western or Chinese Cuisine.
Can I ask how far the history goes back to? Will there be content that goes back to early 1900s like 1920s and earlier?
