Full day In Singapore with a local

What you'll do

You’ll explore Singapore as you would with an old friend, except you’ll be joined by one of our Singapore hosts. And luckily they don’t know about the silly stuff you got up to in school.

But we digress! You’ll explore this green, sleek metropolis together, seeing what there is to see, eating what there is to eat, and generally having a great time!

From the iconic Gardens by the Bay (they look like a scene out of Avatar) to the culinary delights of Chinatown, Singapore caters to all tastes. Choose which of the city’s famous sights you’d like to see, be it Marina Bay, Emerald Hill, or Fort Canning, and your host will make it happen.

Perhaps there’s a neighborhood you’ve been dying to see? The bohemian enclave of Tiong Bahru is always a good option for the more curious among you - although really, we know you’re all curious, why else would you be here?

Your host just can’t wait to share their slice of Singapore with you, so let’s get going!

    Polina was an excellent guide for my 8-hour tour of Singapore. We ate a traditional Singaporean breakfast and travelled to the Gardens by the Bay. We walked along the waterfront to the Merlion statue and around many other areas of the city, including Chinatown and Little India. There were many photo opportunities in our 11 mile walk around! The tour company City Unscripted, did a very good job in matching me with Polina who was very knowledgeable and had planned the day to perfection, along with a few unexpected hidden gems we agreed on that day. Thanks so much Polina, I hope to see you again soon! I recommend this tour to anyone wanting a full day experience to see as much of Singapore as they can in a short time.

    I had such an amazing day with Pricilla! Planning out the trip was very easy as she was always very responsive with emails. On the day of, she picked me up promptly from Changi airport at our scheduled time and we took the subway into the city together. We saw everything I had wanted to see, and more! Everything went according to schedule, and we got back to the airport with plenty of time before my connection. During the walk, she was very informative about the places we visited and answered all my questions. Highly recommend if you have a long layover!

    I loved my tour with Priscilla! We worked together to create an itinerary, and she did a great job of helping me make the most of my two days in Singapore. I was traveling alone, so it was nice to have a knowledgeable guide and companion. She showed me how to use the transit, and I was able to pay if forward the next day. Plus, she took suggested photo spots and took my picture, which was a fun add. She even had tickets to sell to me for attractions, so that I wouldn't have to wait in line, which was another added bonus. My only recommendation would be to ask for the additional costs in advance. I ran out of cash by the end of the tour. (There are plenty of ATMs; it wasn't huge deal.)
