The experience
The tour starts at Botanic Garden Train Station and moves into the main garden on foot. The first part takes you along the Rainforest trail, where the guide points out the biodiversity preserved within the gardens: the flora and fauna that make up Singapore's green spaces. The second part brings you to the National Orchid Garden, which holds over 60,000 orchids from 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids. The gardens earned UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2015 as the first tropical garden to receive it.
This is a private tour, so the pace and stops are shaped around your interests rather than a fixed group schedule. The guide speaks English and can answer questions about what you're seeing as you move through the gardens. The whole experience runs three hours, and your entry to the Orchid Garden is included in the booking.
Is this one for you?Book this private tour if you want to move at your own pace through the gardens with a guide who can answer questions as you go, rather than following a fixed group itinerary. The three-hour length fits between other activities in a Singapore day without dominating it.
