Best Tours & activities in Singapore (2026)

Guided tours help make sense of a city whose history is layered into its neighbourhoods. The Original Singapore Walks, run since 2003, explore themes from Chinatown and Little India to wartime Changi with well-informed guides, and Monster Day Tours offers a free, tip-based Chinatown walk as well as hawker food tours that explain the dishes you are eating.

On the water, Singapore River Cruise runs 40-minute bumboat trips from Clarke Quay, Clifford Pier and other jetties past Boat Quay to Marina Bay, with evening departures the most atmospheric. Singapore DUCKtours drives an amphibious vehicle through the Civic District before splashing into Marina Bay, a hit with families, and Big Bus Singapore runs open-top hop-on, hop-off loops covering the city centre, Orchard Road, Little India and Chinatown. DUCKtours and Big Bus both start from the tourist hub at Suntec City, and combination tickets are available. Book walking tours in advance, start early to avoid the midday heat, and bring water and an umbrella.
