Amazing time in Singapore
Anna was a knowledgeable and engaging guide, well-versed in Singapore's history and culture. She tailored our tour based on our preferences, including visits to local markets, historic landmarks, and hidden gems. We truly had a fun, immersive experience and learned a lot about Singapore's rich heritage thanks to Anna's insightful commentary and personalized approach.

Outstanding Tour & Guide!
I booked this tour for our group of 6 based on the itinerary & reviews. Anna was GREAT! Kind, welcoming & knowledgeable! We saw & learned so much about Singapore it was wonderful. We visited all the ethnic quarters, The Botanic & Orchid Garden (UNESCO Site), Culture & Religious sites, Bumboat River Cruise & the Marina Bay area. We also visited & sampled local foods at a hawker market. Our tour was split into 1 full day and 1 evening which really gave us an opportunity to see quite a lot in a short period of time . We HIGHLY recommend Anna and this tour. You can customize it to your wishes as we did throughout our time. Our van & driver Marilyn was also wonderful. THANK YOU Anna for making our time in Singapore so special.

Guide extraordinaire Anna Ong
This review corresponds to two full-day private tours for two couples from the United States (California and New York) that took place on October 23 and 24, 2024. Anna Ong's guidance truly illuminated the city. Anna unfurled layers of history, culture, and hidden narratives, stitching each landmark into a tapestry of Singapore’s rich heritage. Her passion for storytelling imbued every stop with intrigue, at iconic sites as well as in secluded nooks only a local like her would know. Beyond her knowledge, Anna’s warmth and attentiveness moulded the experience into something truly remarkable. She calibrated the tour based on broad and specific interests, curating a journey that felt tailored, intimate relaxed and meaningful. Her engaging and refined sense of humour and vibrant personality infused each day with energy, making it not just informative but genuinely delightful. Anna's love for Singapore is infectious. For an insightful, spirited, and unforgettable journey through Singapore, Anna is a guide that will truly transform intentions into memorable moments and experiences.

Singapore Guide
Anna was an outstanding personal guide for our party of 5 adults and 2 children (7 and 9 years old). I am in my 80’s with some mobility issues so she arranged private transportation. Our two days and nights were filled with all the activities we could handle - Little India (festival time so very busy), China Town, the Muslim Quarter, Several Hawker centers for meals) light show at Marina Bay, evening cruise at sunset, church and the Cathedral, and much much more. She was knowledgeable, funny, considerate, and prompt. If you want a delightful time in Singapore, contact Anna. William McKay Indianapolis, In. USA

SINGAPORE EXPERIENCE WITH MS ANNA ONG
Anna met us at our hotel each day at 8 am, discussed the day's itinerary, and inquired if we wanted to do that. We saw many Singapore attractions and experienced Singaporean cuisine. My wife is a shopper, and we also visited and browsed many clothes and souvenir places at our request. We saw aspects of the old and new Singapore, a vibrant city and country. One highlight was the botanic gardens with the magnificent orchids. As our very personable guide, Anna explained many things so we understood the history and background of what we were seeing. Anna made the tour, our tour, and catered to our personal requirements of what we wanted to see. Anna was always very helpful to our requests. First Class guide and would recommend her to anyone looking for a very competent guide to Singapore. Thank you Anna

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day) cost?
+
Prices start at $693 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 BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day) take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day)?
+
Around 7 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BEST Singapore Private City Tour by an Insider (1/2/3 x full-day) 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.
