10 Tours in Singapore That You Shouldn't Miss

January 2, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Singaporeans originated from different countries and cultures, and this is what gives us our unique identity today. With this tour, we aim to take visitors beyond the city, on a cultural tour of the island. We begin in the local neighborhood of Ang Mo Kio, with a little known hobby that transcended the kampong era: Bird Singing. Brighten your morning with melodious chirps, followed by a visit to the local ‘Hawker Centre’ for coffee like a true local. The local exploration continues with a visit to a wet market and a hawker centre. After visiting the first neighborhood, we will proceed to another neighborhood, "Toa Payoh". Here, we will see the hustle and bustle of a local town centre. We will see an interesting "Tree Shrine" and we will also get to visit a HDB showflat. HDB Flats are public housings where 80% of the local population stays in. At the end of the tour, we can guarantee that all our guests will know everything about Singapore and the lifestyle of the locals.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Air-conditioned vehicle, Licensed Local Tour Guide

Friendly, caring, and professional. The staff went all the extra miles to be customer focus. First of all he carried all our bikes up the stairs ( we are a family of three with a toddler) and ensure we all crossed the street safely. To top it all the shop provider map and sunscreen free of charge. After return we were given bottles of chilled water. All these are way beyond what could offer by a five star hotel’s concierge service in the renting of hotel bicycles. Honestly being to numerous East Coast and Punggol bicycle renting crawls in the past few months, this shop is one of the best, if not the best bike shop in Singapore. The rating says it all.

The Zebra Ebike Urban Safari Tour is a 3-4 hour tour along Singapore's park connectors designed to showcase the awesome cycling network (PCN) our government has built in recent years. It is our ambition to provide travelers with the experience of a lifetime through exploring Singapore's natural and urban beauty on the wheels of an electric bike. Our Western Tour goes along East Coast Park, past Marine Cove and Parkland Green all the way to Gardens by the Bay East. From there, the majestic skyline of the Marina Bay Financial District comes into view. We pass the Marina Barrage, then turn around onto the park connector through Tanjong Rhu, Dakota, Paya Lebar, and back to StoreFriendly Centre. Along the way we stop at Jalan Batu Food Market where we take a short break and sample fresh local fruits. Jalan Batu is nestled inside a public housing estate that is rarely visited by foreigners and provides a small glimpse into the lives of ordinary Singaporeans. Well off the beaten track!

Built in the late 1930s, The Battlebox is a former WWII British underground command centre inside Fort Canning Hill at the heart of Singapore City. The British army defended Malaya and Singapore from this legendary hideout in World War II. It was also here that the British made the decision to surrender Singapore to the invading Japanese on 15 February 1942. Today, the Battlebox is a museum that unveils the true causes behind “the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history”. This tour tells two stories – the fall of Malaya and Singapore in WWII, and how an underground command centre functioned during World War II. Hear both from your professional English speaking guide as he/she leads you through the place that made history during the war.

Inclusions: 1 admission ticket to The Battlebox, Professional English-speaking tour guide

Exclusions: Hotel pick up and drop off, Meals and beverages

The puzzle hunt which we did around Chinatown was one of the most engaging and unique activities that I have done in recent times. The puzzles, which were very well-designed, was a great way for us to bond and work together. In doing so, we also made our way down to many of the different attractions around Chinatown and got to learn more about them! It was also great that everyone from Ransack was incredibly friendly and helpful all the way through as well :)

Our team had such a great time here, thanks to the amazing 2 ladies/hosts, Teresa and Cindy. They were incredibly patient, and their energy infectious. Given that office life hasn’t exactly been the same now that our team has been split into alternate weeks, we hardly have a chance to work or run into each other anymore. And laughing and cooking together (while safe distancing into 2 groups of 5 with no inter mingling) turned out to be the perfect solution! Great team bonding experience, if you put aside the “inter-team rivalry banter”! Booking by our secretary with Food Playground could not have been smoother, from start to finish. Best part? They were able to customise our corporate elements into the recipes, according to our requirements! Did I also mention their meatball recipe is to die for? Consensus all round on those chicken meatballs. And, I can’t wait to recreate the thin crust pizza at home with our kids! And a warm shout out to the founder, Daniel, who dropped by towards the end of the class! By empowering more stay-at-home mums who obviously enjoy sharing their recipes and tips with us, he truly is truly an inspiring entrepreneur that deserves more local support. I hear they are offering virtual cooking classes over Zoom. Definitely worth checking out.
