Immerse yourself in the sights of the city as you gently cruise down from Boat Quay to Marina Bay in a boat of your choice.

Join a local host on a tour of the most famous hawker centers in Singapore, as well as the hidden gems that only long-time residents know about! Join the local crowd during lunch or dinner to experience the sense of community that only hawker centers can provide as you wolf down your next favorite meal, be it savory carrot cake, steaming hot chili crab or Singapore’s world-famous chicken rice.

  • Trishaw Tours of Singapore Districts

    In the pre-modern society, before there were buses, taxis and trains, the people in Singapore had to find fast ways to get around. They did this through hiring trishaws, forms of transport powered by pedaling. Relive these nostalgic times by going on a personalized trishaw tour through the different attractions in Singapore! A local guide can help you arrange a private trishaw tour through the notable districts in Singapore like Chinatown, Little India and Bugis. Feel the breeze and have a nice chat with the friendly Trishaw operator and your local host as they bring you around town. There’s no other experience like it!

  • Temple Tours across Singapore

    It is commonly said that you can find almost everything in Singapore and there is no better example of this statement than the multiple places of worship you can tour when you are in Singapore. Singapore is home to many races and religions, and you can visit a multitude of temples to learn more about the unique culture and rituals they practice. Classic Singaporean attractions include the Buddhist Tooth Relic Temple which houses the Sacred Buddha Tooth Relic and the Sri Mariamman Temple, Singapore’s oldest Hindu Temple. Both are located in Chinatown, so you can have a two-for-one tour with your local guide!

  • Night Tours in the lively Central Business District

    Singapore really comes alive after night! Experience the vibrant nightlife in this cosmopolitan city through the wide selection of bars and nightclubs in Singapore’s Central Business District, or CBD. The CBD consists of notable areas like Orchard, Marina Bay and Newton. Follow your local guide on a tour of the urban and commercial heart of Singapore as the lights of the city shine in full view.

    Have a scrumptious dinner accompanied by live music at an open-air restaurant along the Singapore River. Be wowed by the amazing views of the city from above at the observation decks on the top floor of Marina Bay Sands or ION Orchard, second to none.
