Singapore Essentials: Your First Day in the City

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Life-Changing First Day in Singapore – Thank You, Roy I want to give my deepest thanks to Roy, who was my private one-on-one tour guide on my very first day in Singapore. I booked several tours during my trip, but nothing compares to the experience I had with him. I am so grateful for everything he did — and I promised him I would leave a review, because he truly deserves it. From the moment I met him in the hotel lobby, Roy had this warm, original energy that immediately made me feel safe and excited. I knew instantly that my first day in Singapore was going to be something special — and I was right. Our 5–6 hour private tour took us through so many parts of Singapore: temples, Chinatown, cultural landmarks, historical areas, hidden streets, and places I would have never discovered on my own. Visiting the temples throughout Chinatown genuinely humbled me and moved me emotionally — when I got back to my hotel, I actually cried from how beautiful and meaningful the day had been. Roy’s knowledge of culture, history, religion, and the true heart of Singapore is phenomenal. What makes Roy even more exceptional is that he pre-planned my entire Singapore trip even before I arrived. He mapped out which temples we would see, what trains and buses to use, which areas to explore, and what cultural, spiritual, nightlife, river, and food experiences were meaningful for me. When I landed, everything was already curated and perfectly organised — all I had to do was follow Roy. The pricing for a one-on-one private tour with him is unbelievably reasonable considering the amount of knowledge, storytelling, guidance, and care he provides. You’re not just paying for a guide — you’re paying for a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience. Roy made my first day in Singapore one of the most beautiful and unforgettable days of my life. If you are visiting Singapore — especially if it’s your first day — book Roy immediately. He will set the tone for your whole trip with warmth, authenticity, wisdom, and heart. Roy, thank you for giving me the opportunity to explore your country with you. I am truly honoured, humbled, and extremely grateful. I will definitely be booking with you again when I return to Singapore.

Cheryl was an excellent host, very knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommended

Jon was a fantastic guide! He focused our tour to meet the needs of our group. He was probably the best guide that we have had while we have visited Singapore!! He was very informative about all kinds of topics when we asked questions.

This was our fourth tour of Singapore. Jon’s knowledge of Singapore allowed to instantly modify our tour so to not duplicate our other tours. He has a great and warm personality and showed us exactly what we needed to see and was able to explain in clear English the history and traditions of each site.

Our guide Tan is very knowledgeable, fun and accommodating! We had scheduled a different time for walking tour but because of maintenance in earlier attraction we were free earlier called her and she agreed to meet us before time! Thank you Tan

It really is the best way to familiarise yourself with the city. My host was so responsive and proactive.
