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 mostWhat you’ll do
You could never see everything the incredible city of Singapore offers 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 many 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, while for some, it could be sipping a Singapore Sling in the same 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 and 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!

Roy was amazing and so friendly. He navigated us with such ease around the city using buses, trains and walking. We did a 6hour tour and Roy made sure we stopped often for breaks and top up our water. What fantastic way to see the city highlights. Great communication in the leadup to customise our tour and on the day

Mark made this whirlwind tour unforgettable. He’s eccentrically fun, perfectly organized, and incredibly helpful. If you’ve only got one day in Singapore, book this tour and hope Mark’s your guide!

Sharon was a fabulous tour guide and host. She showed us special places favored by locals and shared wonderful stories and history about each location. We saw more than we ever could have hoped in a single day. We were even escorted to our final requested dropoff point at Raffles Long Bar. This tour is truly worth your money and can be customized for any type of interests and preferred mode of travel.

We had a short stopover in Singapore and decided to do a 3-hour tour to get an overview of the city and its history. Roy was fantastic – friendly, informative, and incredibly helpful. There’s no way we would have discovered so many sights on our own, especially in such a limited time. The tour gave us a great overview and will really help us make the most of our short stay. This was our first City Unscripted tour and it was absolutely worth it. Thanks, Roy – highly recommended!
