Additional Information
You couldn’t see everything Singapore has to offer in one day, but with one of our hosts by your side, you sure can try! You’ll flit your way around the city, seeing as much as you can of the must-see spots, from Supertree Grove to cable cars over Sentosa Island and back again. It all depends on what you count as unmissable. All you need to do is let us know if there are any sights you’d particularly like to see and we’ll do the rest.
Within 24 hours after booking you’ll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you’ll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
- We’ll be in touch within 24 hours after booking to find out more about your personality, tastes and interests so we can assign a like-minded local who can create a bespoke experience for you.
- Your Local Host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience you can always change your mind about what you want to do and eat.
- Your Local Host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.
- Although you will see well known sights, your Local Host will also help you to discover the places, things and stories that you won’t find in a guidebook and that make the city unique.

Excellent tour of Singapore by Aaron - 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.

Solo traveler - 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.

A great tour - but remember to wear your best walking shoes! - Our guide John was super engaging and worked incredibly hard to give us his beloved Singapore in a single day. We worked hard with him - 27,000 steps worth! But we came away with great memories and a good understanding of both Singapore's cultural makeup and extraordinary evolution in just 200 years.

A great day in Singapore - Priscilla was an excellent guide and we made the best use of time- taking buses, taxis and metro. I felt like I saw the “highlights” and got a lot of the local flavor. (Even Eating at a hawker stand). We did walk miles so not for people who aren’t walkers. I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Singapore.

Walking tour of Singapore - Visited all the typical tourist spots in an efficient manner since we were limited on time. Caleb was awesome and would definitely recommend his services. Some of the places we enjoyed included the Marina Bay Area, Merlion Park, shoo hiuse area where the trade used to take place, Chinatown with lunch at the 2nd cheapes Michelin restaurant, Urban Redevelopment Authority, Padang finishing with lots of recommendations for dinner and the next day.

My teenage son proclaimed Monica "the best tour guide he's ever had!" - My normally jaded, usually non-communicative teenage son loved this tour. We had some flight problems and ended up getting in late on the day we had booked this for, but the company and the guide were very accommodating in working with us to find an adjusted schedule that worked. We got our heads filled with history, culture, food, art, music, religion, and all the highlights. We used public transportation, and did LOTS of walking. Monica tailored the tour to fit the divergent interests of me and my son, and made sure everyone was happy. In fact, the tour company sent out a questionnaire before assigning a guide to make sure they gave us a person who would best suit our style and interests. They hit it out of the park!

A great day - I can really recommend this tour. We had an absolutely great day our with our guide, Kenny Chen.
From the moment I enquired on line to booking to the communications prior to the Tour and the Tour itself, it all worked seamlessly. It was just so easy. I looked at other Private Tours but many of them were difficult to get information or wanted me to set up an account etc. so I choose this one. Glad we did!!
Kenny our guide was so knowledgeable Tailored a day to suit our needs and adapted things as we went along. He was fun but very professional and made my wife and I feel comfortable the minute we meet him at our Hotel. After a few questions we were off on a day of information, sightseeing, eating and a lot of historical stories of the various areas we visited. He had some special delights for us to eat and try along the way.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and Kenny to anyone visiting Singapore. We will certainly use City Unscripted I’m the future.

One Special Day in Singapore - We met our host, Paul Lee, at our hotel and had a delightful day. I had written (as requested) a brief outline of what our interests are as well as our physical abilities, such as can we walk long distances. Paul had a great feel for what to show us and was so knowledgable about his city. Just FYI, unbeknownst to us the guides don't own cars since only 10% of Singapore residents do, but the taxis we took all over were extremely inexpensive. We would have loved to spend one more day with Paul (in two days you could truly explore the city) but our single day was fabulous. Many thanks to Paul and CityUnscripted!
