Singapore Private City Tour by Car or Minibus with Professional Driver
Discover the Lion City at your own pace — temples, rivers, hawker centres, and sweeping hilltop views in one unforgettable day.
This Singapore private city tour offers a curated six-hour journey through the cultural, historical, and natural highlights of one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic cities. A professional driver meets you directly at your hotel lobby, cruise port, or arrival airport and guides you through every stop.
From the iconic Merlion statue and the banks of the Singapore River to the layered heritage of Chinatown and Little India, this tour covers ground that few visitors manage to see in a single outing. The flexible format means the itinerary can shift to match your interests, giving you genuine control over the experience.
The route also ventures beyond the urban core, climbing to the summit of Mount Faber for panoramic city views and crossing the celebrated Henderson Waves bridge before returning you to your accommodation. Optional local lunch at one of Singapore's largest hawker centres adds a street-food dimension that hotel dining simply cannot replicate.
Tour Highlights
Stand before the famous Merlion statue at the Esplanade Park waterfront and learn the story behind Singapore's most recognisable landmark.
Stroll along the Singapore River, taking in the colonial shophouses, modern skyline, and the story of a waterway that shaped a nation.
Explore the Street of Harmony, where a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a Hindu temple stand side by side in a single remarkable block.
Wander through Chinatown, including a converted opera house turned boutique hotel, and meet a local spice maker continuing a generations-old craft.
Visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, an architectural centrepiece of Chinatown housing sacred relics and intricate craftsmanship across four floors.
Discover Little India, a vibrant neighbourhood bursting with colour, fragrance, and authentic South Asian culture at every turn.
Ascend Mount Faber for 360-degree views of the city and walk the Henderson Waves, one of Singapore's most architecturally striking pedestrian bridges.
Suggested Itinerary
Your driver meets you at the agreed pickup point — hotel lobby, cruise port, or airport — and transfers you to Esplanade Park. Here you will visit the original Merlion site and get background on the nearby vertical marathon hotel that defines the Marina Bay skyline.
Walk the riverbank to absorb the contrast between colonial-era architecture and contemporary towers. Continue to the celebrated street where a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a Hindu temple occupy the same block, reflecting Singapore's multicultural identity.
Explore Chinatown's lanes, visit a hotel that was once a grand opera house, and meet a local spice maker at work. An optional lunch at one of Singapore's largest hawker centres lets you sample authentic local cuisine in a true neighbourhood setting.
Tour the ornate Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in the heart of Chinatown before heading to Little India, where colourful shopfronts, flower garlands, and aromatic spice stalls create a sensory contrast to the rest of the city.
Escape the city flatlands and drive to the summit of Mount Faber for sweeping 360-degree views over the harbour and skyline. Conclude the touring portion with a walk across Henderson Waves, a curving timber-and-steel pedestrian bridge set high among the treetops.
