The experience

Your driver meets you at your hotel lobby, the airport or your cruise port and takes you through the main sights at whatever pace suits your day. The route typically moves through Esplanade Park, past the Merlion statue, and along the Singapore River where you can see the mosque, Buddhist temple and Hindu temple all on the same street. From there you walk through Chinatown, where a former opera house now operates as a hotel, and can stop at one of the city's largest hawker centres for lunch if you want it.

The second half of the day takes you to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown, then into Little India before heading out of the city to Mount Faber. From the top you get a 360-degree view of Singapore, and the route ends by walking across Henderson Waves, one of the city's most distinctive bridges. The itinerary above is what the driver suggests, but you can bring your own plan and the driver will follow that instead.

You travel in a private vehicle (a sedan for up to three people, an MPV for up to six, or a van for up to ten) with air conditioning and bottled water included throughout. A licensed tour guide is available on request for an additional charge (SGD 60 per hour for English or Chinese, SGD 100 per hour for Tamil, Italian, Spanish or French). You need to arrange this at least 48 hours ahead. If you're arriving by air, provide your flight number or terminal at least 24 hours before. If you're coming from a cruise, give the ship's name in advance. Child and infant seats can be added for SGD 20 per seat.

What’s included

• Private transportation in a sedan, MPV or van depending on group size.

Top questions

What is the Merlion and where do you see it on this tour?

The Merlion is Singapore's most famous statue, a sculpture with a lion's head and fish tail. You pass it early in the tour along the Singapore River, where the driver explains its history and significance to the city.

Can I customize the stops instead of following the suggested route?

Yes. The itinerary above is what the driver suggests, but you can bring your own plan and the driver will follow it instead, so the tour adapts to what you want to see.

Is lunch included in the 6-hour tour?

Lunch is optional. The tour stops at one of Singapore's largest hawker centres where you can eat local food, but you pay for your meal separately if you choose to eat there.

What is Henderson Waves and why is it part of this tour?

Henderson Waves is one of Singapore's most distinctive bridges, and the tour ends by walking across it after you visit Mount Faber. It connects the city's park system and offers views of the surrounding area.

Do I need to arrange a tour guide, or does one come with the car?

The driver is included and will take you through the stops. A licensed tour guide is available on request for an additional charge (SGD 60 per hour for English or Chinese, or SGD 100 per hour for Tamil, Italian, Spanish or French), but you must request this at least 48 hours before your tour.

What happens if my flight is delayed or I arrive late?

Provide your flight number or terminal at least 24 hours before arrival so the driver can track your landing. If you don't give flight details in advance, no refund will be made if the pickup cannot happen.
