The take
Monster Day Tours' free walk through Kampong Gelam (Kampong Glam) passes Sultan Mosque, Arab Street and Hajjah Fatimah Mosque before finishing on Haji Lane. Sultan Mosque is free to go inside during its own visitor hours, so plan that visit separately from the walk.
Good to know
About 2.5 hours: Mondays 10am–12.30pm and Saturdays 4pm–6.30pm, snack tasting included
Sultan Mosque is free to visit Saturday to Thursday, 10am–noon and 2pm–4pm, and closed to visitors on Fridays
The Malay Heritage Centre is ticketed for visitors
Finding it: Lavender MRT Exit B, at street level; look for the purple-and-yellow Monster Day Tours shirt. The walk ends on Haji Lane

Before you go
Does the Kampong Glam free walking tour take large groups?
Not on the free tour, where the operator says its guides may decline large groups. Student groups can be turned away too, and parties of more than five are asked to email about a private tour. The free walk lasts 2.5 hours, with a local snack tasting, and the guide's tip is pay-as-you-wish.

Is the Kampong Glam walking tour in English only?
Yes, the listed language is English, with an English-speaking guide. The walk covers a neighbourhood once reserved for royalty, on foot and mostly outdoors, so it is not wheelchair or stroller accessible. It runs rain or shine, so bring a poncho or umbrella and water.
