Itinerary
This half-day tour starts with a pick up from your hotel at 9am
Firstly head to Chinatown, A sub zone and ethnic enclave located within the Out ram district in the Central Area of Singapore. Featuring distinctly Chinese cultural elements, Chinatown has had a historically concentrated ethnic Chinese population.
We then go on to National Orchid Garden,located within the Singapore Botanic Gardens, was opened on 20 October 1995 by Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. The Garden is located on the highest hill in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Providing a place for 60,000 orchid plants - consisting of 1000 species and more than 2,000 hybrids - is the three hectares of carefully landscaped slopes.
Then move on to Little India, a diverse ethnic district of Singapore. Located east of the Singapore River—across from Chinatown, located west of the river—and north of Kampong Glam. Both areas are part of the urban planning area of Rochor. Little India is commonly known as Tekka in the local Tamil community. There is a lot to learn here from its historical beginnings to its modern day place in a more cosmopolitan society.
Finally we go on to the Colonial district which forms the very heart of Singapore and walk around the Parliament buildings lining the banks of the Singapore River. Once we complete your tour we take you back to your hotel. Hoping that we have given you a great insight into your Singapore experience.

Alex was the driver. He knows Singapore very well. Having a local driver is 1000 times better than doing it yourself. He covered the principle places of Singapore.
Alex was a great tour guide. Explained all the sites really well and we learned a lot about the culture, people and buildings of Singapore The orchid garden is beautiful We could have spent more time there Recommend this private tour if you have only 1 day in the city
Alex gave us an enjoyable and fact filled tour where we learned about the history and culture of Singapore. We really enjoyed traveling throughout the city in his air conditioned car. Every stop we made was carefully curated with us and reflected our expectations of the tour. A very delightful experience!
Great experience. Mr. Alex was very nice, good, and knowledgeable about the places. The tour was worth it!
Alex ensured we had the best, first day tour of Singapore. Our group of 4 included a wheelchair and he secured the perfect vehicle for our day. He shared his vast knowledge of his country and patiently answered all of our questions. Because we had additional days in Singapore, he made wonderful suggestions and tips for continuing our exploration of his wonderful country.
Our guide, Lena, was late - after postponing the scheduled start time. She carried an umbrella in the hot, sunny garden but did not offer one to us (they were in the van). When we asked for water she took us to a shop to purchase our own. At each stop, she dropped us off and told us where to meet her in 20-30 minutes. She was not especially knowledgeable about the sites she took us to. NOT a good guide (but reasonably pleasant).
Alex was wonderful. He took us to see some of rhe highlights of Singapore. He was easy going, very knowledgeable, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Wong was personable, knowledgeable, and quite funny. He was a joy to spend a few hours with. In just 4 hours, we pretty much covered as much of Singapore as I had hoped....
Our guide was excellent. Squeezing as much as he could into the alloted time. He was very knowledgeable and catered to make our experience unforgettable.
The tour was excellent and Michael (our guide) was fantastic. We saw and learned a lot. We were very impressed with Michael’s knowledge.
