The Best Way to See Singapore at Your Own Pace! 🇸🇬✨
We had an absolutely amazing experience on the Singapore Private Customized City Tour! Being able to customize our itinerary made the day perfect for our family. Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating, and made sure we were able to enjoy every stop without ever feeling rushed. We visited so many of Singapore’s must-see sights while also having time to take photos, shop, explore, and truly enjoy each location. Having a private guide and transportation made everything so easy and comfortable from beginning to end. This tour exceeded our expectations and was one of the highlights of our Singapore vacation. We highly recommend it, especially for first-time visitors who want to experience the best of Singapore at their own pace. Absolutely worth booking!

Great way to see SIngapore
Kelvin was very helpful and informative on our trip, telling us about the history, present and future of Singapore. We were able to customize the tour to fit our needs, and was able to hit all of the highlights we wanted to on the trip. We even stopped for chili crab, which was delicious!

We enjoyed a lot!
We had a really good time with Thomas. He adjusted the tour to what we wanted to see and showed us some places we probably wouldn’t have found by ourselves. He was very friendly, polite and easy to talk to. He also took some really nice photos of us, which we really appreciated since we were traveling on our own and it’s not always easy to get good pictures together. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely recommend Thomas!
Operator response

Highly recommend this tour!
We had the most wonderful day with Thomas, our guide , on a 6 hour tour of Singapore. The company was very straightforward to deal with as I had to change our pick up time the day before. Correspondence was prompt and efficient. An extensive itinerary was sent for us to choose from, we had already visited Gardens by the Bay the previous night so did not need to go there again. We did opt for the orchid garden , which was well worth the visit-the company organised the ticket . Thomas was an absolute gentleman, his natural commentary through the day gave us such an insight into Singapore through the eyes of a very knowledgeable resident. He even grabbed us a local snack at lunch time and a traditional sweet later in the afternoon. I have already recommended to friends and family to visit and make use of this tour!! Excellent!! Thanks Thomas!
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Thomas made your 6-hour Singapore tour insightful, flexible, and memorable. It’s great to know our team handled your pickup change smoothly and helped arrange the orchid garden visit. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

Nice driver, but not an official tour guide
We wanted to take a private tour so we can see as much of Singapore as we could and not be with a big group… Our driver was nice, but he was not an official tour guide so he could not get out of the car with us. At several of the stops, we felt we were not given enough time to adequately explore the attractions . We were hoping to get a lot more historical information, but we don’t think our driver possessed that knowledge. He was a good driver regarding the rules of the road, and he did provide us with water. Be warned that if you take this tour, you have to buy tickets to the Singapore botanical gardens… We paid full price and when we got to the ticket center, we noticed they had a senior discount and we could’ve only paid three dollars instead!!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the driver friendly, safe, and helpful during the tour. We would, however, like to clarify a few important points. Regarding your expectation for more historical information, our team sent the itinerary and service details to you before the tour. We clearly explained that this booking was for a private tour with a driver, and that the driver could provide basic general information only. We also advised that a licensed English-speaking tour guide could be arranged separately for guests who wanted more detailed historical and cultural explanations or someone to accompany them through the attractions. Regarding the National Orchid Garden, we also informed you in advance, in the payment information sent to you, that the regular admission price was SGD 13 per person, while seniors aged 60 and above could purchase tickets directly at the counter for SGD 3. We specifically advised that if you were eligible for the senior rate, you could ignore our payment link and purchase the discounted ticket directly at the attraction. However, you chose to proceed with payment through the regular-rate payment link provided. As this was a private customized tour, the amount of time spent at each stop depended on the total tour duration, traffic conditions, and how many locations you wished to cover. Guests are always welcome to spend more time at fewer locations if they prefer a slower pace. We understand that the experience may not have fully matched your expectations. However, the information regarding the driver’s role, the optional licensed guide, and the senior admission rate had all been provided to you before the tour. We appreciate your feedback and are also grateful for your positive comments about the driver’s friendliness and safe driving. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in Singapore and provide an experience that better matches your expectations next time.

Lynne our driver was...
Lynne our driver was excellent and quickly worked out what we wanted to see and do. This tour is a great intro to Singapore in air conditioning. It is flexible according to what you want to. You can stop and walk around area that I tested you, or just drive around and sight see. Lynn gave incredible knowledge about Singapore and where tourists would like to go. This was appreciated very much. We leant a lot!
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Lynne quickly understood what you wanted and made the tour flexible and comfortable. It’s great to know her knowledge helped you enjoy and learn more about Singapore.
