Best tour guide experience
I was a little hesitant at first about going on a walking tour as I didn’t think there was much to see, however my sister organised it anyway. After meeting William, I was so impressed about his knowledge and how comfortable he is about sharing the history of Singapore and answering any question we had about the people, places, foods etc. William is without doubt one of the best guides we’ve had. He made our stay in Singapore the best experience I’ve ever had, and I’ll come back again to show my husband all the places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour to any new or returning visitors.

Fantastic tour guide
Just finished a tour with William and want to gush about how fantastic he was. One of the best tour guides I have ever had. Informative and interesting together with incredible kindness. Put history of Singapore and current day in context. I will definitely be contacting William the next time I am in Singapore.

Fascinating adventure exploring Singapore!
Gene met us right on time at the designated location. Gene was a wealth of knowledge. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Gene impressed us with his overview of both the history of Singapore as well as the complex cultural heritage and current day to day aspects of Singaporean life. We walked through a few different neighborhoods and Gene pointed out and explained histories and important individuals as well as how Singapore continues to evolve and change. Gene was a wealth of knowledge on food as well, and gave us a full tour of a food market and explained the different foods offered and then ordered some dishes for us to sit down and try, really delicious dishes unique to Singapore’s people. We got a really good sense of how Singapore came to be and what life is like for the average citizen today and how their heritage factors into that life. We found the tour both intellectually fascinating without being overwhelming and had a lot of fun while exploring these neighborhoods. Thanks Gene!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this detailed review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your tour with Gene and got to learn so much about Singapore. We hope you have a great stay in Singapore and would be glad to see you again on another tour!

Excellent tour
An outstanding and highly enjoyable tour with Gene. What made the experience particularly memorable was the perfectly balanced mix of audiovisual information, fascinating impressions of the neighbourhoods, and excellent culinary experiences along the way. Gene was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. All of my specific questions about Singapore’s history, society and people were answered thoughtfully and placed into a broader and very interesting context. A great way to discover Little India and Kampong Glam beyond the usual tourist perspective. Highly recommended — and special thanks to Gene for an excellent tour!

Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour 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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour?
+
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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour 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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour?
+
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 Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour 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.
What is included in Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour?
+
Included: Food Sampling; Insurance Coverage; and Licensed tour guide. Not included: Private transportation; and Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour?
+
Meet your Guide at Exit C of Little India MRT Station. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Singapore Little India and Kampong Glam Walking Tour?
+
