Connect buildings and streets with the people, migration, trade and events that shaped modern Singapore.

We had the pleasure of being guided by Khai (singapore in a day) during our 8-hour layover tour in Singapore, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first moment I contacted him, he was extremely kind, solution-oriented, quick to respond, and completely reliable. He ensured that all preparations for our trip to Singapore were well organized in advance, and he provided us with detailed guidance on everything we needed to do before, during, and after our flight. At the airport, Khai personally welcomed us and attended to all of our requests. Throughout the tour, he drove us around in an exceptionally luxurious and comfortable vehicle, making the experience not only enjoyable but also effortless. We explored all major tourist attractions as well as some exclusive locations with him. As a licensed tour guide, Khai shared fascinating historical details about each site, and being a local, he also gave us unique insights into the city’s culture and hidden gems. He even took us to a special dining area where we got to experience authentic local cuisine, which was a real highlight. I would wholeheartedly recommend Khai to anyone visiting Singapore, and if I return, I would definitely choose to tour with him again. Thank you. Özkan

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide in Singapore during our long layover. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we were able to see all the most interesting and beautiful spots in the city without any stress. He planned everything perfectly, shared great insights along the way, and made us feel truly taken care of. We finished the day with a fantastic dinner at a place he recommended — the perfect ending to a wonderful tour. Highly recommended!

Great service. He messaged me as we were taxiing in to the airport gate letting me know he was waiting. Drove us to our hotel and let us know the best places to visit in Singapore. Very knowledgeable about his home city. Would recommend.

Walking Tour FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A few practical things travellers usually want to know before booking.

Are the walking tours completely private?
Yes. The tour is exclusively for your group. You will not be combined with other travellers.
How much does a private Singapore walking tour cost?
A 2-hour private walking tour is USD 129, a 3-hour tour is USD 199 and a 4-hour tour is USD 259 for a private group of 1 to 4 guests.
Where does the walking tour start?
Walking tours normally begin at an agreed central meeting point close to the neighbourhood we are exploring, often near an MRT station.
Can I customise the route?
Yes. The route can be adapted around your interests, available time, preferred neighbourhoods and walking pace.
Are food tastings included?
Food is not automatically included unless the selected experience specifically states otherwise. A hawker centre or local food stop can be included, with food normally purchased directly by guests.
Is the walking tour suitable for families and seniors?
Yes, provided the group is comfortable walking outdoors. The pace and route can be adjusted. If mobility, heat or walking distance is a concern, a Private Car Tour may be more comfortable.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not necessarily stop the tour. Where practical, the route can be adjusted to use sheltered areas. If conditions make the planned route unsuitable, we can discuss the most practical alternative.
What should I wear?
Lightweight clothing and comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Singapore is warm and humid, so water, sun protection and an umbrella are useful.
Can I add more time?
Yes, subject to availability. An additional hour can be arranged for USD 89.
Do I need to book in advance?
Advance booking is recommended, particularly during busy travel periods and major events, because private-tour availability is limited.
