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 we know you’re all curious; why else would you be here?

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

Reviews

    We really enjoyed our walking tour of Singapore with Weibin. Only advice to others is...bring your best walking shoes! We counted 25,000+ steps over the course of 8 hours. Exhausting but worth it...if you have only one day to see Singapore, this is definitely a great way to go!

    Our guide John was super engaging and worked incredibly hard to give us his beloved Singapore in a single day. We worked hard with him - 27,000 steps worth! But we came away with great memories and a good understanding of both Singapore's cultural makeup and extraordinary evolution in just 200 years.

    Polina was an excellent guide. During the walking tour, she kept a nice pace for my 74 year old aunt. She was attentive and open to our input on the activities she recommended. We were able to eat a traditional Singaporean breakfast and was introduced to the local culture.

    Jimmy was an amazing host. Planned my tour to fit exactly between my flights, helped me figure out where to leave my luggage (a few of them were closed in the airport) and is extremely knowledgeable about Singapore. I had an excellent time and I highly recommend him.
