Total fraud!
No response from the tour operator on where exactly to meet and neither did they pick up the phone. It’s a fraud and I need to be refunded my money

Quirky, unique, interactive and positive!!
Excellent booking and communication. We purchased our tickets at the airport kiosk, which gave us a discount, but I see you can also get discounts through on-line booking. Lovely Pamela, our tour guide engaged us in a lively tour of China Town. The pace was good, she was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with in English. We loved the 'Streets Alive' concept with both the VR headsets and the characters who entertained us. Be prepared for a pleasant surprise or two and to come away feeling uplifted!! Oh, and the coffee is excellent!
Response from the operator: Dear Yvonne, Thank you for making Streets Alive Singapore your choice in exploring the city! We are glad you had a great time with Pamela and meeting the characters along the way, we would love to host you when you are back in Singapore again! Regards, Streets Alive SG

Fun new way to Experience Singapore! Even for a local
Definitely the most innovative walking tour that I have been on. Many surprises along the way via the smart marriage of virtual reality, performance and storytelling. Highly entertaining good value.
via Tripadvisor
interactive, informative and insightful!
As a born and breed local, the tour further reiterated our heritage and Chinese roots. Information and history shared during the tour are insightful and not taught in schools. VR and performance are out of the norm and performances are interactive and humorous. Would definitely recommend this tour to locals and tourist alike!

Best Walking Tour Experience in Singapore!
Highly recommend this interactive walking tour for anyone looking for a unique experience around Chinatown. The tour guide, Karen, was fantastic - she patiently explained the cultural history of the area and related back to the present times. She was very friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. VR experience added a unique flavor to the experience - brilliant idea. VR quality (volume level + actual video) could be further refined as a bit unclear. The best part of the tour were the added 'live characters' we met along the way - they really brought the entire experience to life and made this memorable! Very well done and looking forward to further editions of this tour!
Response from the operator: Hello Neha! We are glad you have enjoyed Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tours, Karen is indeed a passionate individual! We look forward to seeing you again!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition) cost?
+
Prices start at $61 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 Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition) take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition)?
+
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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Streets Alive Singapore Walking Tour (Chinatown Edition) 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.
