Amazing. In awe of the wide range of knowledge my guide Jimmy had. He put me at ease immediately and brought to life the tour through his passion for Singapore and the journey he is on. I had an eight hour solo tour. He made it engaging, interesting and insightful. Don’t miss out - book Jimmy!

Our day started at Clark Quay Jetty, and from the moment we began, it was an experience like no other. Singapore’s multiculturalism came to life as we explored the rich heritage of Chinatown, Kampong Glam, and Little India. Each district told its own unique story, and the vibrant atmosphere made it feel like we were stepping into different worlds within the same city. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the stunning Gardens by the Bay. Walking through the futuristic structures felt like we had stepped straight into the world of Disney’s Avatar—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The lush greenery, breathtaking views, and innovative design left us in awe. Another favorite was Fort Canning Park—this hidden gem provided a peaceful oasis with its lush, green surroundings and historical charm. We also had the pleasure of visiting Singapore’s civic district, where we marveled at the iconic Merlion and the majestic Marina Bay Sands. A river cruise offered a fantastic view of the CBD, and we even got to learn more about Singapore's history and architecture. Dr. Hu, our tour guide, was simply outstanding. His knowledge was extensive, and he effortlessly tailored the experience to our interests. Whether it was providing in-depth information on the historical landmarks or seamlessly adjusting the itinerary to our preferences, Dr. Hu’s flexibility and enthusiasm made the day unforgettable. He was the perfect guide for this journey, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're looking to explore the best of Singapore in one day, this tour is a must-do with Dr. Hu. Highly recommend Dr. Hu for anyone visiting Singapore—his passion and expertise truly elevate the experience!

Amazing day! We covered so many attractions and places of interest and not once did I feel rushed to fit everything in. Precilla reached out ahead of our tour to find out my interests and the itinerary she came up with was spot on. I wish the same wonderful experience to all visitors who go for this tour. Thank you Precilla

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Of course! Your experience is flexible, so you can explore at your own pace and make changes along the way.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?

Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Is this experience physically demanding?

We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
