Singapore is the kind of city that genuinely surprises you — I expected a clean, orderly, slightly boring stopover and ended up falling completely in love with it. The food alone is worth the trip (nothing I've eaten anywhere in the world compares to...
I didn't realize how big this place was until I was actually inside it. The Cloud Forest has a waterfall that drops from the ceiling of a giant glass dome — completely surreal. Stayed for the Supertree light show at night and didn't move for the whol...
Singapore: Gardens by the Bay Admission E-Ticket
The infinity pool photos everywhere don't prepare you for actually standing up there. Hotel guests only for the pool but the observation deck looks straight down at Gardens by the Bay and out to the port and the whole city. Nothing else in Singapore ...
Singapore: Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck E-Ticket
Revenge of the Mummy is better than I expected from a theme park outside the US — genuinely great coaster. The Jurassic Park water ride soaked me completely which sounds annoying but felt amazing in Singapore heat. Full day easily, seven zones and I ...
Singapore Universal Studio with One Way Transfer
Fifteen minutes over the harbour in a cable car watching the port, Sentosa, and the Singapore skyline pass below you. We timed it for sunset and the city just starts glowing as you cross. Can't get this angle any other way.
Singapore Cable Car Ticket (Round Trip)
Did Universal in the morning and S.E.A. Aquarium in the afternoon — the aquarium is genuinely massive, 200 sharks in one tank behind glass that goes floor to ceiling. Grayson the guide gets mentioned in basically every review and now I understand why...
Singapore Universal Studio & S.E.A Aquarium-COMBO One-Day Pass(Shared transfer)
Left not really believing the hype and came back completely converted. A tram through the jungle at night while animals move freely around you in near darkness — a fishing cat crossed the path about two meters in front of us. Nothing like any zoo I'v...
Singapore Night Safari
Booked this on a whim on our last night and it ended up being the highlight of the whole Singapore trip. River boat past the Merlion, under the bridges, with Marina Bay Sands lit up behind us and Garden Rhapsody and Spectra show after. 952 reviews an...
Singapore Starry Night Cruise, Garden Rhapsody & Spectra Show
My favorite morning in Singapore by far — kaya toast and soft boiled eggs at a hawker centre that tourists would never find alone, then Little India and Kampong Glam with a guide who actually grew up here. Felt like seeing the real city for the first...
Discover Singapore Local Experience
I almost skipped the Flyer because it looked like just a ferris wheel — went anyway and the view from the top completely changed my mind. You can see Malaysia on a clear day. The Time Capsule experience inside is a nice surprise, a short film about S...
Singapore Flyer Tickets with Time Capsule
Used this as my first morning in Singapore to get my bearings — Thian Hock Keng Temple, Merlion Park, Chinatown, National Orchid Garden, all with a guide who actually grew up here. By lunchtime I knew the city well enough to explore alone. 1,661 revi...
Singapore Morning City Tour
Clarke Quay from a bumboat at water level is completely different from walking the same route — you see the backs of the shophouses, pass under low bridges, and get the Merlion from the angle every postcard uses. 40 minutes and genuinely worth it.
Singapore River Cruise E-Ticket
My friend who lives in Singapore took me to Maxwell Food Centre on my first trip and I ate the best chicken rice of my life. This tour basically recreates that experience with a guide who knows exactly which Michelin-starred stall to queue for. Nine ...
Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings
Did this on our last night and it covered more of Singapore than the entire rest of the trip — hawker markets, a walk along the river, Clarke Quay, and nine tastings of food I'd never have found alone. Richard the guide was funny and genuinely knowle...
Small Group: Singapore Street Food & Night Tour with 9 tastings
Did the Zoo in the morning and stayed for Night Safari in the evening — free shuttle between the two parks makes it easy. The Zoo's open habitats are completely different from any zoo I've been to, animals roam in spaces that actually look like their...
