Best Guide in Singapore
We did a private city tour and had the pleasure of having John as our guide. He is in the top 1% of all the guides we have had over the years. His knowledge of Singapore may be unmatched. For every question we had, John answered with an amazing and thoughtful story. Of course, we visited different neighborhoods, the botanical gardens, Times Square and then found time for chicken rice. Be sure to book John!

Excellent tour.
Jon was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable and fun. Wonderful way to explore Singapore and have a great time.

Custom made tour in Singapore
Guide was very accommodating and helpful in explaining the city. If you want a custom tour of Singapore this is it! He also sings!
via Viator
Excellent tour tailored to my needs
Excellent tour. I said that I didn't want to get out of the people carrier too much because I have bad knees and it was v hot and Jon tailored the day to what I wanted. In my experience, some guides say they do but they don't really listen. Jon let me choose what to do and was relaxed when I asked to stop for lunch in the air con! Very nice man. V knowledgeable and genuine.

Unfortunately, guide canceled at the last minute.
Booked this tour 6+ months in advance. The guide, Stefan, canceled the night before and left us without a tour on our first day in Singapore. No other guides available. Very disappointing!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear how disappointing this was, especially after booking so far in advance and having this planned as part of your first day in Singapore. We completely understand how frustrating it must have felt to be left without a tour at the last minute. After reviewing the booking, we found that there was an unfortunate scheduling mix up. The host believed the tour had been rescheduled to a later time following earlier communication, but when it became clear that this did not align and rescheduling was no longer possible, the tour was cancelled. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and the impact this had on your plans. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, particularly at the start of a trip. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve how we handle schedule changes and communication going forward. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore PRIVATE TOUR: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore PRIVATE TOUR: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot cost?
+
Prices start at $52 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: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot 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 PRIVATE TOUR: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 230 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: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot?
+
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: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot 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 PRIVATE TOUR: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot?
+
Around 81 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 PRIVATE TOUR: Highlights & Hidden Gems by CAR or Foot 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.
