What you'll see and do
Hello 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.

Amazing Day in Singapore with Gee Soo
Gee Soo was our guide and he was phenomenal. We had a car and driver which I recommend to see the most of Singapore and it gave us some relief from the heat in between stops. Gee Soo was very knowledgeable about Singapore and could tell he loved living in Singapore. We saw all of the sites plus some extra more local sites. We had lunch art a Hawkers hall which was so inexpensive and great choices. Gee recommended his favorites. Gee took lots of pictures of us and shared them by email. We finished our day having a drink poolside at Marina Bay Sands Rooftop. Great day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great day exploring Singapore with Gee Soo. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the personalized experience, local food recommendations, photo memories, and the comfort of the private vehicle. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Singapore again soon!

Gene is a great guide and a great guy!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and came prepared with exhibits and photos, His energy, and attention to our needs was outstanding. He gave us all the time we needed and was constantly checking on our comfort, and changes we required. Gene was so good, that while he was educating us on the bus, a passenger took a picture of his guide ID tag so she could book with him later!

Great experience in Singapore
Kavin was a fountain of knowledge as he showed me the highlights of this beautiful city. He always checked to see if I was tired, needed a break or the washroom and patiently waited while I shopped for a few souvenirs. Highly recommend Kavin, a very enjoyable and informative day spent.

A Fantastic (and Delicious) Way to Explore Singapore
My family and I did the 6-hour Hello Food Tour and absolutely loved it. We knew we’d eat well, but the experience went far beyond that — it gave us a real feel for the neighborhoods and cultures that make up Singapore’s food scene. We started in Katong with curry puffs, soft-boiled eggs, kaya toast, and kopi — a classic local breakfast — and worked our way through Nonya rice dumplings and sweets, famous Katong Laksa, and then hopped over to Old Airport Road for some incredible hawker favorites like Hokkien mee, carrot cake, otah-otah, and sugarcane juice. Later, in Kampong Glam, we had beef rendang and tauhu telor, followed by teh tarik from a beloved street stall and murtabak from Zam Zam. We finished in Little India with paper dosai and mango lassi. Every stop felt carefully chosen — we were trying the best versions of these dishes, not just what was nearby or convenient. I’ll admit 6 hours felt ambitious going in, but it really worked. It gave us time to explore different neighborhoods and understand how the food ties into local cultures. Our guide clearly loved what they were doing — they explained the history and meaning behind each dish without ever making it feel like a lecture. We’ve done a lot of food tours in different cities, and this was easily one of the best. Come hungry and ready to learn.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this amazing review! We're thrilled that you and your family loved the 6-hour Hello Food Tour — sounds like you truly ate your way through Singapore! 😊 We’re especially happy you appreciated the cultural journey and carefully chosen stops. Thanks for coming hungry and curious — that’s the best way to do it!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 or 8 Hour Private Shore Excursion of Singapore by walk start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
