What Our Travellers Say
Posted on Rovik Robert We planned a team bonding session for our international team to learn more about Singapore and had a great time with our very knowledgeable tour guide who added a lot of personality and her own stories to the mix. The tour is very manageable effort-wise and I really appreciated the flexibility on the team’s end.Posted on Jennifer Nasser Rachel gave us a great tour of the Chinese heritage museum and Chinatown. She kept the kids engaged and very interested ! Highly recommend !Posted on Javier Suarez Rachel was a great tour guide! Very friendly, made great conversation, and taught us a lot about the city. I would love to have her as a tour guide again!Posted on Lindsey Blau We had an amazing food tour with Rachel! She was super informative, accommodating, and had great energy. We loved all of the food stops that she chose for us. Thank you for the great introduction to Singapore!Posted on Anne Shandy We enjoyed a private walking tour of Singapore's Little India and Chinatown, led by Rachel (in July). Our family of five (aged 18, 20, 22 and 57) appreciated the communication to help us prepare for the day, the thoughtful planning to accommodate our preferences for what we wanted to see or eat and also the consideration for the sweltering heat. The tour was mostly outdoor but we had nice breaks to cool down and get some refreshments. We all learned a lot about Singapore's rich cultural heritage and history. I would highly recommend if you just want to get out to see Singapore through a local's perspective. Some highlights included: experiencing the MRT, seeing the street art / murals in both Little India and Chinatown, trying some local fruits, drinks and food from Chinatown's Maxwell Food Center, Thian Hock Keng temple, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and views of the city...just to mention a few.Posted on Valerie Tsang We had a wonderful time on our food tour with our guide, Rachel. She was very friendly, fluent in English and very informative. Would 10/10 recommend!Posted on A W What a fascinating private 4 hour tour we had with Swee Lin who shared intriguing historical facts, while we explored so much of Singapore's vibrant multiculturalism. We opted for Grab transport to make the most of our time, so worth it. On our next visit to Singapore we'll definitely book another tour with Rachel and Swee Lin. Thanks for a great tour!Posted on Ellen R We had 4 excellent days of touring with Culture Curious Singapore Tours … starting with an outstanding architectural tour which doubled as a great introduction to Singapore followed by a wonderful food tour, a cultural neighborhood tour, and finally a tour centered on WW II history in Singapore. We have had *many* tours around the world and I can say with confidence that these were some of the best. Not only are Rachel, Kelvin and Chris highly knowledgeable, they went above and beyond taking care of us with tips, links, taxi help, and much much more. We felt completely welcomed and comfortable with all of them, so not only did we learn what we came for, but we chatted about anything else that came up … from how real Singaporeans afford to live, to wedding customs, to durian tasting, to public transportation and so much more!!! Consummate professionals, Rachel and co personified gracious hospitality and joy in sharing their city and country with us. We would highly recommend Culture Curious to anyone.Posted on cody engle As a very seasoned world traveler, I have interacted with local guides across the world. That said, Culture Curious is among the best guiding experiences I have ever had! Owner, Rachel Chen and her team provide me and my family a world class experience over 3 days of guiding.Knowledgable both of history and current conditions, all questions (I ask a lot) were answered with wisdom and insight. Our family group ranged from 22years to 85. All physical and culinary needs, while diverse, were handled with grace. I sought proposals from three local guiding companies. Culture Curious promptly provided a comprehensive proposal at very reasonable pricing. As ann added bonus, Rachel quickly responded to my pre-arrival emails seeking restaurant, taxi and other advice. If you need guiding services in Singapore, Culture Curious is your best choice.

FAQs on Private Tour Singapore
Why choose a private tour in Singapore?
Private tours in Singapore offer greater flexibility, deeper local insights and a more personalised way to explore the city. Travellers can explore at their own pace while focusing on interests such as history, culture, hawker food, architecture or Singapore’s urban transformation.
Private walking tours are especially rewarding in Singapore due to the city’s compact layout and efficient MRT system. Neighbourhoods such as Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam and Marina Bay are easily accessible while offering opportunities to better understand Singapore’s multicultural heritage and everyday life through the insights of a knowledgeable local guide.
Travellers seeking greater comfort and convenience may also opt for a private car tour, particularly families, cruise visitors, business travellers or those with limited time in Singapore.
At Culture Curious, our private Singapore tours focus on thoughtful storytelling, local expertise and meaningful conversations that help travellers better appreciate Singapore beyond its major sights.
What can I expect from a private Singapore tour?
Private Singapore tours are designed to offer a more personalised and flexible experience based on travellers’ interests, pace and preferred style of exploration. Depending on the itinerary, tours may focus on themes such as history and culture, hawker food, architecture, urban planning, public housing or local neighbourhood life.
Many of our private walking tours utilise Singapore’s world-class MRT system, allowing travellers to move efficiently between different parts of the city while experiencing Singapore like a local. Hotel pick-up within central Singapore can also be arranged for added convenience, including pickup from cruise terminals for cruise visitors.
Travellers who prefer additional comfort may also request assistance with arranging private transportation services.
Are private tours in Singapore worth it?
Yes — private tours in Singapore are often worth it for travellers seeking flexibility, convenience and deeper local insights. Unlike large group tours with fixed schedules, private experiences allow travellers to explore at their own pace while focusing on personal interests such as culture, food, architecture or Singapore’s urban development.
Singapore’s compact city centre and efficient transport system also make private tours especially effective for exploring several neighbourhoods comfortably within a limited timeframe. With the guidance of a knowledgeable local guide, travellers often gain a deeper understanding of the stories, communities and historical context behind the sights.
Private tours can also be more comfortable for families, cruise visitors, business travellers and first-time visitors, as itineraries may be adjusted according to walking pace, weather conditions and preferred areas of interest.
How much do private tours in Singapore cost?
Private tours in Singapore typically range from approximately SGD120 to SGD 600 or more, depending on factors such as duration, transportation arrangements and the level of customisation involved.
Pricing may vary based on:
- Duration of the tour
- Group size
- Language preference
- Special-interest themes
- Private transportation arrangements
- Level of itinerary customisation
Most private Singapore tours focus on sightseeing, culture and local experiences, making them especially popular among first-time visitors. Tours are usually led by licensed Singapore tour guides and may utilise either Singapore’s public transport system or private vehicle arrangements depending on the experience.
More specialised tours — such as foreign-language tours or experiences focused on themes like World War II history, architecture, food culture or nature — may cost more due to the additional expertise and planning involved.
At Culture Curious, our private walking tours start from SGD260 for a 2.5-hour experience led by an English-speaking licensed Singapore tour guide.
