    Singapore Walking Tour

    Excellent tour with fabulous guide! Davis was on time and very knowledgeable about the history of Singapore. We learned a lot and had a great time. David was accommodating and very flexible. Passionate about his country and the amazing food scene in Singapore. Highly recommend David and hope to send some more business his way. You won't be disappointed. 5 stars

    Response from the operator: It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed learning about the city’s history and food scene, and that Davis' flexibility and passion made the tour even more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about David. We hope to welcome you and your friends or family again in the future!

    Great local guide providing great local tour!

    David Phua who is a licensed tour operator, booked through Viator with City Unscripted, was absolutely special. He is licensed tour operator locally and is fourth generation Singaporean. He was flexible, patient, responsive, and ultimately curated a tour over 5-6 hours that more than met my expectations. So fun! So knowledgeable. So local. He made the tour, the day, and my trip. I can't recommend highly enough if you've only a short time to pack in an overview of Singapore, beyond the normal touristic type attractions (though those can easily be covered too!)

    Response from the operator: We’re thrilled to hear your time in Singapore felt so personal, fun, and truly local! It’s wonderful that you could experience so much beyond the usual sights while making the most of your limited time. Thank you for your fantastic recommendation!

    Kavin is awesome

    Kavin is awesome. Knew everything about each area and its history. Walked at our pace and guided us through the MRT maze. A definite do.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring at your own pace while learning more about the city’s history! It’s great that navigating the MRT felt easier too. Thank you for your fantastic recommendation!

    Wonderful tailored tour!

    I absolutely loved my Chinatown tour with Sharon! From the very beginning, she was warm, caring and incredibly knowledgeable, and it was clear how passionate she was about sharing the history and culture of the area. She took the time to explain the stories behind the places we visited, which gave me such a greater appreciation of Chinatown and its fascinating history. One of my favourite parts of the tour was discovering the beautiful painted murals throughout Chinatown. Sharon showed me murals I might otherwise have walked straight past and explained the stories and history behind them, which really brought the area to life. I loved wandering through the streets with her and seeing Chinatown through the eyes of someone who knows it so well. What really made the experience special, though, was Sharon herself. She was so caring and attentive throughout the tour and made me feel completely comfortable and looked after :)

    Response from the operator: We’re especially glad you enjoyed discovering the beautiful murals and learning the stories behind them. Those hidden details can make a tour truly memorable, and it’s lovely to hear that Sharon helped you see Chinatown from a different perspective. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review! And we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future!

    Singapore Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.

    How much does Singapore Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $84 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 Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 507 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 Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods 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 Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Singapore Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour?

    +

    Around 177 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Singapore Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods 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 Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour?

    Included: Online Personalization Form sent after booking to tailor your experience; Flexible durations and start times - Pick your preferred duration when you book; Get picked up (on foot) at your accommodation if it's central; Private and personalized walking experience with insider tips from a passionate local; and Direct communication with your host for itinerary planning and local recommendations.

    +

    Is Singapore Your Way: Iconic Sights & Local Neighborhoods Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
