How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

We know that half a day is hardly enough time to see all Singapore has to offer, but with a Singapore host by your side, it will be enough to catch some of the city’s highlights and, most importantly, get an authentic feel for what life here is all about.

You could explore some quirky neighborhoods, like Little India or Tiong Bahru in a few hours. Perhaps you’d like to see what all the street food fuss is about and visit a hawker’s center, snacking on some ridiculously yummy spring rolls or soya chicken rice - once you’ve tasted it, you’ll understand why this was the first street food dish to gain a Michelin star!

Feel like Gardens by the Bay at the beginning of your experience and a quick dash to the inner city later? No problem. The public transport here is a dream, and your host will have you navigating it in no time.

Enjoy Singapore’s riotous colors, sounds, and tastes as you explore. Have fun, you lucky thing!

I thoroughly enjoyed being in Stan's company. He brought beautiful Singapore alive for me with his knowledge, expertise and great kindness. It was a fabulous day and it felt to me like nothing was left out. A marvellous experience. I have told my family they must visit Singapore and when they do they must use Stan as their guide

CU did a great job pairing us with a wonderful guide, Siew Tong (“ST”). He is professional, knowledgeable, well organised, very personable and also considerate. We had a four-hour city walking/train tour, focusing on four town-centre zones: Chinatown, Little India, Malay/Muslim quarter and Civic District (old Colonial Singapore). Along the way we covered: history, architecture, future Singapore, demographics, food, government and politics, religion, and more. Highly reccomended!
