Fabulous Clients
Posted on Michael Azarian Rachel came highly recommended to us from a trusted source and she exceeded expectations! Her breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm about the history and culture of Singapore significantly enhanced our experience. She was incredibly helpful for all sorts of guidance both on and off the tour. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone visiting Singapore.Posted on Steve Wille Rachel was AWESOME. We really, really enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend her! She is very professional, knowledgeable, sweet and fun to be with. We will definitely spend time with her on a future visit.Posted on Tim Gemmeke If it wasn't for Rachel's wonderful city tour, I'd never have learnt so much about Singapore's history and culture on only one day! Rachel has an incredible knowledge treasure that goes far beyond the usual instagram spot guidance (you'll have that, too, no worries). Because of her former job in a museum, she has almost an anthropological awareness of the context modern Singapore exists in. Would give the tour a six star rating if it was possible!Posted on Marc Brehmer We love it!Posted on Philippp Valerius Following a long flight and minimal rest, we joined Rachel's tour. Her dynamic personality immediately revitalized us, and her engaging journey through the city provided us with a thorough understanding of the rich culture it boasts.Posted on Rene Our company recently hired Culture Curious for a private tour of Singapore City Gallery for our overseas management. Planning was a breeze from the beginning with prompt replies and effortless coordination. Our guide Rachel expertly shares about the strategies and challenges in planning for a city state. Highly informative and knowledgeable team of guides. Thank you.Posted on Pavlin T Great tour, I would recommend it to everyone.Posted on Kim Seng Cheong My organisation did a corporate tour with Culture Curious Singapore Tours recently. The target audience were our guests from Europe. Rachel was very accommodating to our requests and she is very thoughtful in her approach to planning/conducting her tours. A special mention also goes out to co-guide Diana for her great commentary/story-telling whilst managing to introduce Singapore in a fun/engaging manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Culture Curious Singapore Tours to anyone wishing to understand Singapore in a more authentic way. Keep up the hard and heart work Rachel and team!

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.
