Singapore Like a Local: Private & Personalized Experience 3-4hrs

This isn’t your typical Singapore walking tour. With a host who shapes the day around your curiosity, you’ll explore both iconic neighborhoods and quiet, tucked-away corners—like peaceful temples, riverside paths, vibrant markets, and cultural enclaves. Whether you're drawn to history, art, religion, or local storytelling, your experience flows entirely at your pace. After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire so we can match you with the ideal host. They’ll then create a flexible, fully personalized itinerary designed just for you.

I absolutely LOVED my full-day customized city walking tour with my tour guide, Sharon! Soon after I booked this tour (about 4 weeks before my trip), Sharon contacted me directly through WhatsApp, to ask me what I would be most interested in seeing and doing in Singapore. After telling her about my interests, Sharon sent me her first draft of her proposed customized itinerary for me. I then modified the itinerary several times, based on her suggestions of certain sites and activities in Singapore that I had never heard about before. Sharon then finalized my itinerary several days before my tour, but also confirmed that she would be flexible with our schedule during the tour, depending on how long I wanted to spend at each site or activity. Because this was a walking tour, our original plan was to take public transport to get to each site and activity. However, when Sharon mapped out all the things I wanted to see and do, I realized that I wanted to decrease the transit times, in order to fit in everything I wanted to see and do. So I decided to use the Grab app (similar to Uber) to take car rides to each site and activity. Although it was an added expense, it was well worth it, so that I could see and do everything on my itinerary. Sharon provided me with EXACTLY the customized full-day city tour that I wanted. She is professional, knowledgeable, warm-hearted, and efficient. I will definitely request her as my personal tour guide, whenever I come back to Singapore. I highly recommend her tour services to anyone who wants a comprehensive and customized city tour of Singapore. She will provide you with an amazing, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience!
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are glad that Sharon made your time in Singapore so special. We look forward to your another unforgettable tour in the future!
Excellent. Adam was well informed, polite and helpful. My wife panic at the top of an esclaortor and Adam raced back to the top and took her down the elevator.
Adam quick thinking and kindness in a stressful moment show what an exceptional host he is. It’s wonderful to hear that he made your experience not only informative but also reassuring and supportive. Think of us next time you travel, we have hosts worldwide!
Stan was our tour guide & did an awesome job of showing us the sites, history & culure! His enthusiasm & knowledge was contagious & we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. This definitely was the way to see the city for us as was totally geared to what we wanted to see & do! Stan is also a great picture taker for us as he knew where to take them & allowed us to focus on where we were & what we were learning! He sent us all pics when we were done…so accommodating! A definite pro in what he does!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Stan made your experience such a memorable and enjoyable experience. His enthusiasm, expertise, and ability to tailor the experience to your interests truly set him apart, and we’re glad you felt so accommodated throughout the day. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the photos and could focus on immersing yourself in the sights and history. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
Aaron was an excellent guide. He set a reasonable pace and gave us all the time we needed for whatever we wanted to do . He was extremely informative and very knowledgeable about the city, history and culture . We were quite impressed with the diversity of cultures within the city and the ability to see three different countries cultures in only three metro stops. He brought us to several great places to have snacks, both reasonably priced and extremely tasty. He didn't just take us to tourist areas but off the beaten path, for example to a very interesting hotel that looked like something out of Ghostbusters and other interesting sites we wouldn't have seen in a tourist guide. We highly recommend Aaron and this tour.
I am so happy to hear you had a good time with Aaron, your experience sounds truly exciting! Thank you for sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a special thank you for the positive review. It means a lot to us!

Think of us next time you travel, we have a network of over 1,200 hosts around the world. I am so happy to hear you had a great time with ST! Your words are cherished!
What a great way to see Singapore by having your own guide. We had a fun packed day with adventure, beautiful sights and fun. This had to be one of the best tours I have been on. Jay was the best. I feel very lucky I got just as my guide.
We not only highly value your positive review but also want to express how much it means to Jay! We look forward to seeing you on another unforgettable tour with us!
