Three SpiceRoads tours "Pop-Up" in time for Singapore's extended Jubilee Weekend
Story by SpiceRoads Cycling
SpiceRoads tailors three adventures in Southeast Asia as getaway options for Singapore's long August 7 - 10 weekend.
Coinciding with the four-day long public holiday celebrating Singapore's 50 years of independence (August 7-10, 2015), SpiceRoads has organized three new pop-up tours: a classic tour of the backwaters of Kerala, India; a mountain bike adventure in Bali, Indonesia; and a road ride through the hills of Kanchanaburi in Thailand.
“These tours are perfect for people who want to make the most of their long-weekend. Even if you don't live in Singapore it is a great opportunity to get away without having to take too much of your valuable leave off,” says Struan Robertson, CEO SpiceRoads Cycle Tours
