What you'll do

Forget about sitting around in the airport on your layover - that’s for time-wasters, and you’re not one of those. Get out there and explore Singapore instead! Your local host will meet you at the airport and take you on a whirlwind adventure of the city.

You could breeze through Gardens by the Bay or even sip a Singapore Sling with a view from the rooftop of the iconic Marina Bay Sands - home to the best view in the city - or if time is on your side, you could even make the trip to explore one of Singapore’s lesser-visited islands.

Just don’t miss a visit to a hawker center, the food complexes where locals come almost daily for their favorite dishes - your host will know just the dishes to recommend!

Where you’ll go

Sure, Singapore airport has a butterfly garden, but there’s more to life. You could explore Singapore’s most iconic districts, like Marina Bay and the futuristic Supertree Grove - all the more mesmerizing if you can catch the Gardens by the Bay lights show.

If it’s street eats you’re looking for, look no further than Chinatown, or you could ask your host to show you one of the city’s more alternative neighborhoods, like bohemian Tiong Bahru, which is creeping onto the radar of Singapore’s coolest neighborhoods.

You could head afield and discover the shophouse (buildings that are a fusion of Western and local architecture) restoration wave in Geylang or head north of the tourist districts and feast on authentic cuisine in Little India.

    Priscilla was fun and knowledgeable about the history and culture. Took us places we would not have known to visit on our own.

    Every part of our city tour was wonderful, but we especially loved the Gardens by the Bay. Priscilla was an exceptional guide. She brought her city to life for us, and we felt like we had known her forever. She really took the time to answer all our questions and share her knowledge with us. Her knowledge of the history of her city is truly amazing and I am so glad we had the privilege of getting to see Singapore through her eyes.

    Stress free (we were made to feel really comfortable that there was no way we would miss our flight!), great company, amazing food and some really fascinating places. I love the concept and will be trying you guys out in Taipei in a few weeks.
