Fantastic tour
Really brilliant tour. Just was a fantastic tour guide and very knowledgeable. It was a good length of tour (2.5hours) which is excellent value for money. I paid a little more as the guide was so kind and helpful (but for reference the baseline guide amount is SGD 20). Nice group size (under 20 people). Things to bring: umbrella (for shade), water, fan and suncream. The route does not offer a lot of shade or AC (nature of the sites you see and no fault of the guide - bring the recommended stuff and you’ll be just fine). All in all, excellent and highly recommend! If you get Just you will have a BRILLIANT time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re delighted Just made your tour so enjoyable with his knowledge, kindness, and helpfulness, and we’re glad you found the experience great value. We’d love to see your photos or videos from the tour—please share them and tag @monsterdaytours!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 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 Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City?
+
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 Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City?
+
Around 21 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore City Walking Tour: Heartbeat of the City 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.
