Singapore personalised tour and food tour.
"With Locals tour review HJ Singapore personalised tour and food tour 20 April 2024 The tour I booked with HJ was a personalised general tour of Singapore to include his food tour. He drove us in his personal vehicle which gave us great range to see sights spread around Singapore and an airconditioned refuge on a hot and humid day. HJ was very informative and he kept a steady flow of food to sample from markets and street hawkers during the day. The tour lasted until well into the evening with Chinese and Indian Hawker food centres included. He found places a visitor on their own would never find and was just brilliant fun to be with and the day passed all too quickly. I could absolutely recommend HJ for any tour of Singapore.

Grayson the Amazin’
"My family and I had a fabulous food tour with Grayson in Singapore. He was extremely well informed on the history of the many cultures that make Singapore so unique and special. The food was delicious and consisted of places we probably would not have found without the help of a local. We highly recommend Grayson as a tour guide. He is funny and educated about this beautiful country! "

Great fun with Ang!
"Ang was a fun, energetic, and educational host for our hawker market tour! We visited two markets and tasted a variety of dishes- our bellies were definitely full at the end of the tour. We went on a Sunday afternoon, so many stalls were closed, but that didn’t stop Ang from choosing plenty of yummy dishes fur us to try. We also enjoyed Ang pointing out historic and cultural points of interest during our walk. And thank you, Ang, for our gifts! Such a memorable experience during our Singapore visit! "

Temple experience
"My daughter and I enjoyed an amazing afternoon with Elaine in the Tooth Relic Temple. She gave us a very good insight into the religion and the life of Buddha. It is such a great environment to learn about it. We did a meditation session in the garden of the temple and then also in the Tooth Relic room. It was really so special. Then we enjoyed an absolutely lovely dinner in the nearby vegan restaurant. I still remember the mushroom dish, it was heavenly! Altogether, the tour was fantastic and I do recommend it to anyone who is interested in Buddhism and the temple. Elaine is a wonderful person and her passion gives the experience such a lift. "

Top things to do in Singapore

Singapore is simply fantastic and full of things to do, but how do you explore this great city in a way you get the most out of your stay? Wonder no more! Join a friendly local to guide you through the city on a personalized tour. Check out below a few suggestions for a unique experience in beautiful Singapore!

Explore the sights and tastes of Geylang
A hidden gem away from the tourist crowds, Geylang is one of the most colorful districts in Singapore. Located a distance away from the glitz and glamour of the city, take a walk with a local guide to appreciate the rich culture and history of the shophouses and coffee shops in the neighborhood.
A local can also show you where the best food is in Geylang, be it richly fried authentic chili crab, amazingly delicious hotpot or even the best durian in the world! Fun fact: Geylang offers a wide selection of durians with different flavors, so even if you haven’t tried or you have heard about this exotic fruit, after a visit with a local we guarantee you’ll be a fan!
Go on a shop-a-thon at Bugis Street Market
Right across the road from the Bugis Junction Shopping Complex lies the huge Bugis Street Market, the biggest market in Singapore with a remarkable history as the home of flamboyant cabaret show dancers. Take a stroll through the maze of stores with a local guide who knows where to find the best deals, such as $1 souvenirs, clothes for under $5 and much, much more! One of the must-do things in Singapore, you will definitely find everything you need within it!
Most of all, spend quality time with your local guide to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the market, the best that Singapore has to offer.
Wander around the cafes in Tiong Bahru
Partner up with your host to café-hop like a local in Tiong Bahru! Café-hopping is a favorite pastime of many Singaporeans; learn how to do it like a pro from your local guide. There are many interesting and exciting cafés in Tiong Bahru which serve awesome food and coffee. You will certainly have a lot of fun going to all of them!
Enjoy the unique atmosphere in Tiong Bahru, a mix of old and new Singapore. Relax and let off some steam while sipping on your new favorite coffee while sharing interesting life stories with your host. And above all, just enjoy yourself!
Go on a tour of Pulau Ubin
Do you think that Singapore is only an urban city? Well, think again, and be prepared to be mesmerized by the natural beauty of Pulau Ubin! You will need to take a short ferry ride to visit this small island south of Singapore; your local guide can help you with this.
There, you can indulge in the lush tropical beauty of the Chek Jawa swamps and mangroves and visit the kampongs (or villages) present on the island. One of the off-the-beaten track things to do in Singapore, witness how the local people live without the comforts of the city and spend some time with your guide to enjoy the peace and quiet of Pulau Ubin. This is an opportunity that should not be missed!
Enjoy an authentic home-cooked Singaporean meal
The food in Singapore has a reputation for being the best in the world, and you can expect local homemade food to be even better. Have a wonderful lunch or dinner as a guest in a local home, and who knows what they will whip up for you! You may be having a bowl of fragrant curry laksa one moment, and be gulping down authentic Indian naan and prata the next!
You can also learn the traditional family recipes and culinary secrets from your local family and then cook your own version of these amazing dishes back home. Great food and people in an authentic local setting; what’s not to love?
Visit the Resorts World Sentosa
In the mood for a whole day of fun, laughter and awesome experiences? Let a local show you around Singapore’s world-famous Resorts World Sentosa, Southeast Asia’s finest integrated resort!
Feel like a kid again by wandering around the Universal Studios Singapore theme park and scream all your worries away when you take a ride on one of their roller coasters. Create new exciting memories at the nearby Adventure Cove Waterpark and marvel at the wonders of the underwater world at the Southeast Asia Aquarium, the largest aquarium in the world. In the evening, you can take a detour to the casino for a night of risk and thrills. All in all, an entire day of pure fun and entertainment!
Cycle along the beach at East Coast Park
A favorite pastime amongst locals, blend in with them and go on a journey across the coastline by renting a bicycle at a kiosk along East Coast Park. Plot a route with your local host and, together, travel across East Coast Park and enjoy the serenity provided by the sights and sounds of the ocean, a welcome escape from the busyness of the city. Don’t forget to make friends with the local cyclists along the way! Bring along some snacks and goodies and you can also have a picnic at the beach as well!
An irreplaceable experience, cycling in East Coast Park is one of the must-do things in Singapore to feel like a local.
Eat at a neighborhood coffee shop
There is nothing more Singaporean than eating at a neighborhood coffee shop! Although the fine dining opportunities in Singapore are great, nothing beats the experience of eating at a coffee shop surrounded by hungry and talkative locals.
Follow your hosts to their favorite stalls and unlock the best-kept culinary secrets of Singapore for yourself, be it savory and peppery Bak Kut Teh (pork bone broth) at Rangoon Road, piping hot Wanton Mee (Dumpling Noodles) at Joo Chiat or smooth and rich oyster omelette at Newton, everything during a personalized food tour in Singapore. Enjoy the food and bask in the true spirit of Singapore!
Visit the different places of worship in Singapore
Singapore is a multicultural and multi-religious society, so if you’d like to broaden your horizons, you’ve come to the right place! Go with your local host on a tour of the numerous places of worship in Singapore, be it mosques, churches, synagogues or temples and be awed by the diversity of religion in Singapore.
Your local guide will also be able to share with you the rich and compelling history of these places of worship, all of which will certainly leave you stunned by their beauty. Some tours will also allow you to witness important rituals and ceremonies, bringing you greater insight into the different religions, an opportunity you can only get in Singapore.
Enjoy a Getai concert in the heartlands
In the mood to connect with locals through song and dance? Accompany your host to a local Getai performance in the heartlands of Singapore!
Getai is a one-of-a-kind live stage performance conducted during the Ghost Festival to welcome the spirits of the deceased into the surface. Be amazed by the vocal ability and dazzling costumes of the performers, and enjoy the experience like a true local. Your host can help you translate the various dialects used by the performers into English and explain the intricacies of the performance to you. Truly a uniquely Singapore experience, attending a Getai concert is one of the best things to do while in Singapore!
