Wonderful personalized tour of Singapore
We had a great time on this tour. We only had a little less than three hours available and Colin packed in a good a amount of sites without feeling rushed. He gave an amazing amount of information and insight into all the sites that we were shown, and gave our short time in Singapore so much more meaning. He even picked out several very delicious treats for us along the way! We would definitely recommend him and this tour!
Response from the operator: We're delighted that Colin made your short time in Singapore so meaningful and memorable. We're glad you enjoyed the sights, insights, and delicious local treats along the way. Thank you for your wonderful review!

Response from the operator: We love that you never felt rushed while still discovering so much of the city—that balance is exactly what our personalized experiences are all about. Those authentic moments are what we hope guests remember long after the tour ends.

As a first-time visitor to Singapore from the United States, I wanted a guide who could help me truly understand and app
As a first-time visitor to Singapore from the United States, I wanted a guide who could help me truly understand and appreciate the city—and Joanne exceeded all my expectations. Joanne is warm, friendly, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about Singapore. She not only showed me many of the city’s iconic landmarks, but also introduced me to hidden gems and local places that most tourists would never discover on their own. Her knowledge of Singapore’s history, culture, and development is impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and historical facts that brought each location to life. What I appreciated most was how engaging and personable she was throughout the tour. She made the experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable from start to finish. It was clear that she genuinely loves sharing her city with visitors. In fact, I enjoyed my first day with Joanne so much that I hired her again for a second tour the very next day! That’s probably the strongest endorsement I can give. Thanks to Joanne, I gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Singapore than I ever could have on my own. If you’re visiting Singapore and want a knowledgeable, professional, and passionate guide who can show you both the famous sights and the hidden treasures, I highly recommend Joanne. She made my first trip to Singapore an unforgettable experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback. It’s wonderful to know that Joanne was able to help you not only see the city’s iconic landmarks, but also introduce you to hidden gems and local places that made your visit even more special. The fact that you chose to spend a second day with her is truly the highest compliment, and we know she will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re so glad she helped make your first trip to Singapore such a memorable one, and we hope to welcome you again on another experience in the future!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 $85 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 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 500 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 175 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.
