Kickstart your trip to Singapore

What you'll do

You’ll spend a few hours with one of our Singapore hosts to get to grips with life (and some practicalities like how to use the bus) in Lion City, Singapore.

Whether it’s coming to terms with their sparkly new metro system (a true wonder of efficiency and comfort) or exploring a neighborhood like Little India or Chinatown, your host is there to ensure not a second of your vacation goes to waste!

Let them show you the city’s highlights and give you priceless, authentic insight into local life. Ask any questions you might have about exploring Singapore and where the best spots are to eat and visit - and take notes (literally), there are lots.

Learn about the city’s cultural practices and perhaps stop off at a nearby hawker center for some scrumptious local cuisine. No more looking lost, feeling lost, or getting lost! With a host by your side, you’ll be navigating the streets, ordering laksa, and hopping on and off the metro like a pro in no time!

Peccato aver avuto poco tempo Caleb é una persona splendida e super preparata in poco tempo ci ha illustrato un po' di storia e di abitudini e luoghi principali di Singapore templi punti di interesse cibo ecc.

    Kenny, our local host, gave us a very informative and interesting 3-hours tour through Singapore's China Town. We went to places we would never have found on our own and learned a lot about history, culture and politics in earlier and modern Singapore. This was a great experience!

    Janice Lu hat eine tolle Tour für uns organisiert und uns die - für uns bisher - unbekannten Seiten von Singapur gezeigt. So sahen wir China Town, Little India und Little Arabia. Hochspannend und kurzweilig. Auch unseren Kindern (13 und 11) hat die Tour sehr gut gefallen, trotz 3h gehen .... ;-)
