Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Hello Singapore, Singapore Singapore

Your private tour guide will meet you at your cruise terminal. 

As a cruise ship passenger, you will most probably only have one or two days in Singapore. We understand how important it is to make the most of your short time in port and to see the best of Singapore in a time-efficient way.

After you have booked you will answer a number of questions about your interests and what you hope to get out of your tour. Your personal tour guide will then use this information to design a tour specifically for you.

If you have not been to Singapore before and have no preferences you will be taken on a comprehensive city tour. You will focus on exploring back streets, local neighborhoods and learning about the fascinating culture and history of Singapore. In 6-hours you will have time to visit and learn about at least 3 districts of Singapore. If you would like to see or do more please book an 8-hour shore excursion.

You can combine some of the must see’s like the Merlion, Singapore River Cruise and riding the Singapore Flyer with something a little more off the beaten track to ensure that you see Singapore for what it really is; a melting pot of cultures and flavours. It is a city that has seen unprecedented growth, a city that competes on the global playing field despite its tiny size. It has been beautifully designed with the intention not just to be ‘green’, but to be a City in a Garden.  It is a city where efficiency, style, gastronomies, and cultures meet like in no other.

If you are a foodie you can combine foodie elements into your Customised Shore Excursion, ensuring that you get a wonderful mouthwatering taste of Singapore.

If you would like to pick up some souvineers en route we can show you our favorite markets. Perhaps you are a budding photographer and would like to visit the most photogenic locations… Or an architect with an interest in learning about the city from a town planning perspective…Whatever it is we will ensure that your Shore Excursion is exactly what you are looking for.

Children aged 11 years and under join the tour for free. Anyone and 12 years and over is counted as a chargeable person.

Gee was an incredible guide! We saw so many exciting things! I think our favorite was the amazing cloud dome and flower dome. I highly recommended Gee as a guide. He had so much knowledge of the city and its history.

This tour was literally the best! Our tour guide was “a local boy” Richard. Extremely knowledgeable about Singapore’s history, transparent, open, friendly omg I could go on! It was an experience to remember. We felt safe with him the entire time.. we walked and trained around… shopped, ate, drank it was all just so overwhelming amazing.. it was Shiok!!! Awesome job Richard! If you’re ever interested in doing a walking tour of Singapore it doesn’t even make sense doing it without Richard!!!

Our tour guide, Bibi, was excellent. She took us to beautiful places around Singapore. We went to beautiful Gardens by the Bay and Singapore Cable Car. We visited Chinatown, where we learned how modern-day Chinatown became after being shut down. We ate at the Hawker Centre, my best food in Singapore. Highly recommend!
