Private tour with your own private guide in your language (outside Vietnam subject to availability) · 4 days / 3 nights · Singapore – Marina Bay – Gardens by the Bay – Chinatown – Little India – Kampong Glam – Night Safari – Botanic Gardens – Sentosa – Jewel Changi

This private Singapore tour packs the best of the city into four unhurried days. You see Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay, eat at a hawker centre in Chinatown, walk Little India and Kampong Glam, ride through the Night Safari after dark, and spend a morning in the Botanic Gardens before an afternoon on Sentosa.

Singapore is compact, green and easy, which makes it a good first or last stop on a longer trip in Asia. We plan it as part of a tailor-made journey, so the same team arranges your Vietnam, Bali or Malaysia days, with one contact and one quote for the whole trip.

Who this trip suits

Easy. Distances are short, the car is always close and walking is on flat, shaded paths, about 5 to 8 km on the busiest day. The heat and humidity are the main effort, so we plan outdoor visits for the morning and evening. Suitable for couples, older travelers and families with children over 10.

Where you stay

In Singapore you stay at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering (5★) or Carlton Hotel Singapore (4★), or similar, both within walking distance of Chinatown or the Civic District and a short ride from Marina Bay. Ask us for a room with a view of Marina Bay if you would like one.

Best time to go

Singapore is warm all year, around 25 to 32°C. February to April is usually the driest and sunniest period; November to January brings more afternoon showers, which rarely last long. Prices are higher around big events such as the Formula 1 race weekend and Chinese New Year.

Your guide, your language

Your guide and driver are yours alone for the whole trip, so the pace, the stops and the start time each morning follow you. Your private guide speaks your language: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese or Vietnamese (Vietnam: on request; Singapore, Malaysia and Bali: subject to availability).
