Singapore Day Tours

Private guided tours with STB Licensed Local Guides
Discover Singapore with a private, STB-licensed local guide. Explore the city’s must-see highlights, neighbourhoods and hidden corners at your own pace, with local stories and insight that bring Singapore to life.

Why Choose a Private Singapore Tour?

Your Own Private Guide

Every tour is exclusively for you and your group, with your own Singapore Tourism Board-licensed local guide. There are no other guests joining your tour, giving you more opportunity to ask questions, talk with your guide and gain a deeper understanding of Singapore as you explore. And make a friend along the way.

Explore at Your Own Pace

Private tours give you more freedom than a fixed group tour. Spend longer somewhere that interests you, move on when you are ready and take a break when you need one. This works particularly well for solo travellers, couples and families who prefer a more relaxed and personal way to experience Singapore.

Local Knowledge & Insight

Explore Singapore with someone who knows the city. Beyond the major sights, our local guides share the stories, culture, neighbourhoods and everyday details that provide greater context to what you are seeing and help you understand Singapore beyond the usual visitor experience.

Convenient & Flexible

Your private guide can meet you directly at your Singapore hotel, so there is no need to travel to a designated meeting point. Where practical, the tour can also be adjusted along the way to suit your interests, pace and what you would like to see more of.

Optional extras can be added: Singapore River bumboat · Gardens by the Bay · Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck.

We had a day-long layover in Singapore so we booked a private tour with a guide and a driver through Singapore Day Tours. Aaron is a wonderful guide. He worked with me to plan our day in advance, met us at the airport, and off we went!

Amanda was an exceptional tour guide who truly enhanced our experience. She personalised the tour to suit our interests and ensured we didn’t miss any of our must-see destinations. Her knowledge of Singapore, along with her helpful tips, was invaluable. As a bonus, she’s also a great photographer! Highly recommend Amanda!

Our guide, Andros is very knowlegable, humors and shared stories with us, making the tour more meaningful and interesting. As a Singaporean I only passed by Little India briefly. With today’s walking tour I learned about the wealthy Chinese merchant’s mansion, Indian temple, a traditional store selling spices. And today is my first time went to level 2 of the Tekka Market, I didn’t know they are so many stalls selling beautiful Indian traditional clothing. He also recommended good stall to try out masala tea and nan. Overall, it was an eye opener for me. Highly recommended to join the walking tour.

Singapore Day Tours FAQ

Our Singapore Day Tours team has put together some practical tips and advice to help you plan with ease. We’ve gathered the most useful information to make your tour as smooth, enjoyable, and memorable as possible.

Do you provide hotel pickup and drop-off?

Yes. Your guide meets you in your hotel lobby at the time you have agreed. If you would rather start somewhere else — the airport, the cruise terminal, or the nearest MRT station — just tell us when you book.

Are your tours suitable for children?

Yes. Every tour is private, so the pace is yours — your guide will adjust the route and the amount of walking to suit younger children. Let us know their ages when you book.

Can you accommodate wheelchair users or limited mobility?

Yes. Get in touch before you book and tell us what you need, and we will plan the route, the pace and the amount of walking around it. Singapore is one of the more accessible cities in Asia, and your guide will know which routes work best.

What happens if it rains?

Tours run in almost all weather. Showers in Singapore are usually short and heavy, so your guide will bring an indoor stop forward or wait it out under cover, then carry on. We only stop if conditions become genuinely unsafe.

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable walking shoes and light clothing. Singapore is hot and humid all year, so bring water, sun protection and a small umbrella — useful for both sun and sudden rain. Several tours visit mosques and temples, so pack something that covers your shoulders and knees.

Is a tip expected?

Tipping is not customary in Singapore and is never expected. If your guide has made the day, it is always welcome.

Do you offer day trips to Johor Bahru, Batam or Bintan?

No — all our tours run inside Singapore. Cross-border day trips are booked directly with the ferry and coach operators.

Why tour with an STB-licensed guide?

Singapore is easy to explore alone. A good guide adds the context, the history behind a street, the meaning of a landmark, and the stories that connect Singapore’s neighbourhoods and communities.

Paid in-person tourist guides in Singapore must hold a valid Singapore Tourism Board (STB) Tourist Guide Licence. Licensing requires at least 120 hours of training and assessment, and the licence must be renewed every three years with ongoing learning requirements.

With a private guide, the experience is still more personal than a shared or free walking tour. Even on a set itinerary, your guide can adapt the pace, spend more time on the places that interest you, answer questions in depth and tailor the commentary to your group.
