YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS HALF-DAY SINGAPORE TOUR IF...

You want to enjoy the most enchanting sights in Singapore city, with some shopping thrown in. OR You arrive in Singapore in the morning but can only check-in to your hotel in the afternoon. OR You are transiting at Singapore Airport and have at least 7 hours of wait time. OR You are arriving at the Singapore Cruise Centre and want a local guide to give you a hassle-free introduction to Singapore. OR You want to enjoy a time-saving city tour, with transport, tickets, routing all pre-arranged for you.

Once your guide has met up with you, you'll be chauffered to the Marina Bay area. Here, you'll take a 30-minute ride on the 165m-high Singapore Flyer - to enjoy vantage views of the city skyline and beyond.

What you see from afar on the Flyer, you'll see close-up also, at the Merlion Park and the Civic District. Your guide will walk you through this very historic area in Singapore,

where some of the finest colonial-era architecture still stands,

and

where some of the most important events in Singapore took place.

Photo opportunities abound at this point of your half-day Singapore tour. But do allow your guide to tell you a story or two of the fascinating historical events that took place here.

Your transport then takes you to Singapore Chinatown. The first stop is the Chinatown Heritage Centre, where you get a glimpse of the harsh life experienced by early immigrants to Singapore. And more...

Around this part of Chinatown, you'll also be introduced to the colonial-era Singapore shophouse. Some of the activities that took place in these shophouses are as fascinating as their architecture. Your guide will unveil some of their secrets to you.

The final segment of this half-day Singapore tour is a trip to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum. This is not a usual temple visit, because some of the golden structures and human relics found here will blow your mind away.

Before you say goodbye to your guide, let her/him know what you'd like to take home as souvenirs. Antiques? Art and calligraphy? Clothes and shoes? Consumer electronics? Local labels? You won't be disappointed because shopping is quite wonderful in Chinatown. And your guide can point you to the right shops.

Else, you can get onto your return transport to wherever, all pre-arranged for you by your guide.

BONUS! On this tour, you'll get to see the biggest, single, pure-gold structure in Singapore! A 320kg shrine made from gold donated by folks from the region.
