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!

    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.)

    Priscilla absolutely gave us a wonderful day of seeing Singapore sights. She was so knowledgeable and insightful. We covered most of the major sights plus many extras we would never have found on our own. She was a lot of fun and made you feel so welcome. I would highly recommend her as a terrific guide.

    This was an incredible day! Priscilla was a fabulous guide and so knowledgeable! We covered all the main sights of Singapore. Her explanations of history and current status were so informative. Most of all she was a lot of fun to be with. I would highly recommend her for anyone. We would have never seen and experienced all we covered if we had not hired her. Truly a wonderful day.

    We had a great day in Singapore with our wonderful guide, Priscilla. She tailored the day to our interests, and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Priscilla shares her love our Singapore with us, and we left her feeling like we really understood the city-state’s history and Singapore’s special qualities. There is quite a bit of walking, but it is broken up by a few short taxi or bus rides.
