Must see Singapore with a local

What you'll do

You could never see everything the incredible city of Singapore has to offer in one day, but with one of our Singapore hosts (and a very nifty metro system) on your side, you sure can try!

You’ll flit your way around the city, seeing as much as you can of the must-see spots, from Supertree Grove to cable cars over Sentosa Island and back again. But it all depends on what you count as unmissable.

For some of us that could be taking a panorama from atop Marina Bay Sands, for others it could be getting lost in vibrant Chinatown and visiting Taoist temples, whilst for some, it could be sipping a Singapore Sling in the very hotel where this cocktail was created.

So, all you need to do is let us know if there are any sights you’d particularly like to see, as well as what your general vibe is, and together with your host, we’ll do the rest. So, what are you waiting for? Ditch the guidebook - those things are heavy anyway - and get ready to see the real Singapore in just one day!

    Had a brilliant tour with Caleb around Singapore. He was really nice and friendly. He had clearly put in the effort to make sure the tour was tailored to suit us. He was very knowledgeable and knew the answer to every question we asked him. He gave us a real insight into Singapore that we wouldn't have had elsewhere - in the days after the tour we were quoting his facts and looking out for the small details he'd mentioned. Would 100% recommend it.

    Priscilla was an excellent guide and we made the best use of time- taking buses, taxis and metro. I felt like I saw the highlights and got a lot of the local flavor. (Even Eating at a hawker stand). We did walk miles so not for people who aren’t walkers. I will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore.

    We had booked a full day private walking tour through City Unscripted. We were very fortunate to have been assigned Mr Kenny, the highest-rated guide in Singapore. We were particularly impressed with his work ethics, since he accepted the tour despite that being the Chinese New Year day, when no other guides were working. On the day of the tour, Kenny arrived right on time, and we spent a fantastic, very educational full day tour with Kenny. We certainly got an excellent overview of Singapore with lots of historical and cultural facts. He is a highly intelligent person, with in-depth knowledge of history, arts and architecture. He is unique in a sense that he sets very high expectations for himself to provide the best service for his clients as a tour guide. The tour definitely has exceeded our expectation, and we highly recommend Kenny and indeed City Unscripted for a full day private walking tour in Singapore. In fact, when a particular issue had arisen a few days before our trip, the owner and founder of the company (Ms Anna Kerekes) had personally taken care of it.

    Polina was fantastic. She showed me all of the locations I had asked to see and even ones that I had never known about. I had a great time walking the city with her for 6 hours.
