Gem of a Tour
We had an amazing tour with Tuan. Over the course of the tour, we learned about local flora and fauna, the K-12 education system, the British colonization of the island, the Japanese occupation of WWII, the Tuas Mega Port, the local tech sector, the development of nature reserves on the city-state, and more. Tuan is a font of knowledge and gave us a great orientation to the history and realities of Singapore, all while showing us the Southern Ridges trail system (which included many beautiful views along the way). We saw lots, learned much, and had a lovely time. Would highly recommend to curious travelers who like to hike.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great walk together too! I’m glad you enjoy the views and learn a little more about Singapore, my beautiful country. Hope to see you again in your next trip to Singapore!

Wonderful place to visit!
Just the 2 of us on this tour. TC was wonderfully informative and had an answer for every question I asked, there were many, and was patient with my slower pace on the stairs. This is a great place to escape the crowds for a little while while you are in Singapore. I understand that the best time to visit is in the winter when the migratory birds are stopping over - maybe next time! This is a place you can come on your own but then who would answer all your questions?? :-)
Response from the operator: Thank you for being such wonderful guests on this walk. Your inquisitiveness has also helped me learned more about this little red dot. And oh yes, the ‘double decker’ hibiscus we saw is the El Capitolio Hibiscus!

2023 Labor Day hike at Forgotten Hills
TC is such a meticulous guide who does his prep work read up and is such an illustrated narrator of the SG history, can imagine ourselves in the vivid recollection sequence of events. Certainly an enriching workout!
Response from the operator: It is a pleasure hiking with you! Wishing you more fabulous time in your travels ahead.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills?
+
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 Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills?
+
Around 3 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exploring Singapore’s Forgotten Hills 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.
