Fantastic!
Our guide Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Singapore as well as answering our questions about current day living in Singapore. Paul was an amazing guide, taking us to where we wanted to go with charm and grace. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him and highly recommend him for anyone who wants a great introduction to Singapore.
Response from the operator: It is awesome to hear that Paul has impressed with his knowledge! We're thrilled that you had a great time exploring Singapore with a charming and graceful host! We can't wait to host your next adventure!

A wonderful way to experience Singapore
On our first full day in Singapore we had the whole day with our guide Adam. He was full of useful information and had a great sense of humour to make the day fun and very enjoyable. Adam took us to a number of sites and we spent time at each one to get a real sense of the history and culture of Singapore. It was a very humid day, Adam said that Singapore was in the middle of a heat wave. He cleverly arranged things so that we were able to cool off occasionally, either on the MRT metro rail service (which is air conditioned and very efficient for getting around) or by visiting air conditioned sites of interest. We had a super day, Adam taking us to so many locations, too many to list here, we just felt that by the end of the day, although we were a little tired, we had really gotten to know Singapore and find our way around. This was of great benefit to us for our remaining 3 days in Singapore. Thank you Adam for being so great with us, and for giving us lots of "fun facts" (as you called them) along the way. We willl always remember our day with you. Just wonderful.
Response from the operator: It sounds like Adam did an excellent job of ensuring you had a well-rounded experience while staying cool and comfortable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Adam, and we hope you have many more memorable adventures in Singapore!

The best day tour we've ever done
Priscilla our guide was worth her weight in gold. She is passionate about her country and it's culture, history and people. We learnt so much and went to places that we wouldn't have found on our own.
Response from the operator: We’re thrilled to hear that Priscilla made such a positive impact on your experience. Can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure!

A nice experience
I paid the tour as you ask me But the guide wrote to me that the tour is a walking tour(when I choose this tour I didn’t know that) And if I want doing this tour in a car I need to pay $200 more And I pay for it but I think it’s not fair Also he take me to the mall instead to visit more things And finely He took me to a terrible place to have lunch This guide I will never recommend
Response from the operator: Hi Blanca, I can understand how the confusion surrounding transportation may have led to frustration. We provide information about the nature of all our tours under the “What’s Included” section, outlining that it’s primarily a walking experience. I want you to know that we take your feedback seriously and are actively working to enhance our communication and host qualifications to prevent such misunderstandings in the future. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

A Grand One Day Tour of Singapore
Our guide, Mark, was fantastic and met us at the cruise port for a whirlwind tour of the city. I gave him an ambitious list of places we wanted to see and he put together a tour to see it all. He led the tour by teaching us how to navigate the city’s amazing subway system. We hit all of the primary sites and a few additional ones recommended by the guide. Overall it was an excellent day with a terrific guide.
Response from the operator: I am so happy to hear you had a good time with Mark, your experience sounds truly exciting! Thank you for sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a special thank you for the positive review. It means a lot to us!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $281 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 Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide?
+
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 Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide?
+
Around 8 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore Private Custom Full-Day Tour with Licensed Local Guide 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.
