    Had to cancel

    We had this tour booked and paid for and were sadly unable to do it. We tried to rebook it for when we came back the following week but sadly it would have e cost us a lot more money. The guide we had Jackey was so good we really wished we could have e done the second tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We're sorry that circumstances prevented you from joining the tour as planned. We're especially grateful for your kind words about Jackey and are delighted that he made such a positive impression. We hope the stars align on your next visit so you can finally take the adventure with us and create some wonderful Singapore memories!

    Fabulous Tour with the Beautiful Corliss

    Excellent Guide Simon many thanks

    We had a fantastic Guide Simon Nunis, many thanks. It was a warm humid day and Simon was very conscious to ensure we kept in the shade or in A/C buildings during our tour. His knowledge of the history of Singapore was outstanding and we certainly learned a lot from his valuable knowledge. I would definitely recommend him and the tour to any one 10 +++ **** for us.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that Simon made the experience so enjoyable and comfortable despite the warm weather. His passion for Singapore's history and thoughtful care for guests truly make a difference. Thank you for taking the adventure with us and creating memorable experiences along the way. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Simon!

    Perfect start for our Singapore vacation

    We had a wonderful 3h tour through the City with Corliss as our guide. She provided a lot of interesting insights into the history of Singapore and even showed us some hidden treasures. Can‘t recommend her enough, would book again. She even texted us some tipps regarding our plans for the next days afterwards. Thank you, Corliss!

    Singapore Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.

    How much does Singapore Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 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 Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay?

    +

    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 Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Singapore Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay?

    +

    Around 6 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Singapore Highlights Walking Tour: River, Merlion & Marina Bay 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.
