Feeling at home in Singapore
The experience from the time we booked until it ended was exceptional. Our guide Hillary reach out ahead of time and ask what exactly we were looking to expect from the tour. We wanted to learn a little history about Singapore. We visited temples, little India, the light show, malls, help with dining and had the chance to ride the trains and bus. Excellent communication pleasant person, fantastic knowledge of the history and the city! Made great recommendations and hit all the top spots in Singapore. One of the beat tours yet Very friendly, we got picked up at hotel and then returned. Saw all the attractions we wanted.

Fantastic day in Singapore
A lovely day in Singapore! Moved around on city bus and subways, which are impeccably clean. Great food in local market, and great insights into the city culture!

Sweet and nice local...
Sweet and nice local young lady, unfortunately her English was limited and most of the time was spent on transportation and did not get to all the places cited on the itinerary. Grateful though.
Response from the operator: This tour uses public transportation as a standard option. You were clearly informed about this when booking so complaining about this is unfair and inappropriate. You are responsible for reading the tour description. You could have paid for a taxi or driver instead, but you did not want. About language: We did not have complaint like this with the guide before. When you travel outside of your own country USA, it is normal that people do not speak perfect English and / or have accents, especially on a budget tour. With your attitude, maybe not travelling is better, or just travelling to countries where English is the first language. Or simply paying much more to have a service you expect. It is very unfair to book a cheap budget walking tour, and then complain about such things.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide.
Minh met me at my hotel. She is a charming, knowledgeable young woman. We walked to China town, visited a couple of temples and also a large mall at Orchard. Minh looked after me and shared her knowledge. It was very interesting and I visited places I may not have gone to on my own.

Our walking tour of Singapore
This is a nine hour walking tour so it was very strenuous. We walked about 8 miles that day. If you’re going to see Singapore in one day this tour gives you the opportunity to see everything you want.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore Private Tour with a Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Private Tour with a Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 with a Local Guide 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 with a Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 with a 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 Tour with a Local Guide 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 with a Local Guide?
+
Around 2 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 with a 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.
