“Sadly, through transport problems I missed the meeting point time. Staff were helpful although I had to get a train to the next stop to meet the bus, my travelling time to start the tour was 5 hrs!!!! I then missed all of one area, luckily the guide and the walking tour was excellent which made up for the disappointment of the start of the day.”

2.6 Hours – Singapore Tour in Private Car or Minibus with Driver

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 390 reviews

This six-hour private tour covers Singapore highlights from Merlion Park and Chinatown to Little India, Mount Faber, Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa. Your driver can adjust the route, but commentary varies. A licensed guide costs extra, so confirm what you want before booking.

“The reviews and description made it sound like the driver was going to tell us about each area. But he was just a kind driver. Not very informative. And it wasn’t until last minute that I was told about adding a tour guide but that would be an additional several hundred dollar charge. Disappointed to say the least It would have been cheaper to just do a taxi to each location”

“We had an amazing time on this tour! We were treated so well by Stathopoulos Theocharis and our driver. They were very attentive to what we wanted to do and even took us to a lovely Greek restaurant, where we had a great, traditional Greek meal. The honey farm tour was very informative. It was so peaceful and beautiful there and a welcome change from the crowds in the tourist areas. At Olympia, we were given plenty of time to enjoy seeing the ruins.
