We started our 4 days Singapore trip with the very informative culture Viator tour given by Colin. The tour guides us to explore Singapore culture, various colorful & vibrant ethic neighborhoods, and we were able to enjoy the city like a local. It was a perfect tour for the 6 US college kids in our travel group to understand Singapore history and culture mix. It supplements very well and provides a backdrop to our self guided tour of modern Singapore landmarks that we are able to do on our own. We highly recommend the tour to travelers to enjoy a more comprehensive knowledge of Singapore.

My wife and I had been in Singapore 35 years ago and we booked a four-hour private tour to discover the differences in Singapore since 1990. Mark promptly met us at our hotel and we did a four-hour walking tour starting at the Merlion and continuing through the various cultural heritage neighborhoods. We had a fascinating dialogue as we explored the different areas together, sharing the history of each and where the cultures stand today. This tour took us places that we would have never found on our own and provided an opportunity to ask a local about living in Singapore that would not be possible otherwise. We walked 11,000 steps on your four hour tour so if you want to see a lot and learn about Singapore on a truly personal customized tour, we strong recommend asking to tour with Mark. But be prepared to walk and explore!

Roy was an excellent guide. He was informative, energetic and very accommodating to any changes we had. He also spoke English very well and took us to “secret” spots within Singapore that we would not have known to see. He is an expert on Singapore, and I would highly recommend him.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
