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!

This was the best private tour that I have taken. First, I was contacted by the tour company and provided with a questionnaire shortly after signing up for it. The questionnaire was relatively detailed and asked for my personal interests and what I would like to see. After completing it, I was contacted by Jimmy (my tour guide) a day or so later by WhatApp, who provided me with a draft itinerary. After discussion with him , we agreed to the final itineraries. It was great that I was matched with Jimmy as he was extremely knowledgeable about Singapore’s history and immersed me in the history and the growth of Singapore from 1960’s to the present (which was my interest). I would highly recommend this tour as they will tailor it to your interests rather than having a pre-arranged tour and a tour guide with just a script. I would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Singapore. In addition, I would like to thank Jimmy for his great work.

He was great. I would 100% recommend. He helped us have a great time. The only thing is I though the booking was for 8 hour instead of 6.

Sharon is a very nice, very informative about the city of Singapore historical information. She showed me old pictures about Singapore history whenever we visit places. She takes alot of pictures of me while visiting places, because my main purpose is taking pictures of me while exploring the city. She asked and discussed prior to my visit to maximize the experience exploring Singapore.
