Evening tour of Singapore with River cruise
Very nice experience, Jackey was our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge. Sadly we had just arrived the night before from a very long flight and couldn’t finish the whole tour. We were happy with the tour and would recommend. I felt it was a great way to see the Merlion without being too crowded.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the tour and Jackey's insights, even after such a long journey to Singapore. We completely understand that travel can be tiring. We're glad you had the chance to experience some of Singapore's highlights, including the Merlion. Thank you for taking the adventure with us, and we hope to welcome you back again!

Best way to see Singapore if you have limited time
We had limited time in Singapore before joining a cruise and our guide Choo was excellent taking us to some great places and his passion and enthusiasm made the tour very enjoyable
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that we could help you make the most of your limited time in Singapore before your cruise. Choo's passion, enthusiasm, and local knowledge always help bring the city to life. Thank you for taking the adventure with us and creating wonderful memories in Singapore. We hope to welcome you back for a longer visit someday!

Wonderful tour that was...
Wonderful tour that was sensitive to our needs and catered to our requests as they arose. Mr. Yap was highly personable, knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience for everyone in our group. Couldn’t recommend him and the tour enough! Thank you for a memorable day!

The best tour guide in Singapore
Corliss made our Singapore tour unforgettable. She is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver Nicholas was very accommodating. He provided umbrellas and didn't make us wait for the car in the rain at any stop.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore Private Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Private Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $302 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 Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems?
+
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 Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore Private Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore Private Tour by Car with Local Guide & Hidden Gems 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.
