Wish to tour the city on your own but looking for ideas or recommendations on how to optimise your visit ? Look no further... Here are several suggestions on how you can spend a Uniquely Singapore day - there's something for everyone!

We have a series of six suggested itineraries, each tailored for different needs and individuals, starting with the Uniquely Romantic Tour which is especially tailored for honeymooners. Then we have the Uniquely Indulgent Tour, created for those who love to pamper themselves. The Uniquely Adventurous Tour is for those who are looking for that adrenaline rush, and for the ladies who love shopping, the Uniquely Rewarding Tour is perfect! Our last two tours, the Uniquely Enriching and Uniquely Enjoyable Tours are specially suited for families and travellers who want to fully experience a harmonious blend of culture, cuisine and arts that is Uniquely Singapore.


Uniquely Adventurous :-

For visitors looking for an adventure in our concrete jungle, we recommend the Uniquely Adventurous Itinerary below.For visitors looking for an adventure in our concrete jungle, we recommend the Uniquely Adventurous Itinerary below.

First, visit the Underwater World and view over 2500 marine animals, including the World's Largest Display of Sand Tiger Sharks!

If you have survived the heart-stopping experience with the sharks, reward yourself with lunch at Holland Village, an enclave of charming shops and restaurants, popular with expatriates and yuppies. You may also want to do a spot of shopping for Asian arts and crafts at the Holland Village Shopping Centre and the Holland Village Complex.

After lunch, proceed to the Jurong BirdPark where you can be a falconer for a day, learning to handle trained birds of prey. This is your chance to practise falconry - a sport, which traditionally had been associated only with royalty and aristocracy.

After all that excitement, it’s time to relax with some light shopping at Bugis Street - Singapore's largest permanent street bazaar. Besides unexpected bargains, you can also find interesting sights like the co-existence of a Buddhist and an Indian temple side-by-side. Also, stop by Bugis Junction, the only shopping mall in Singapore with a glass-covered and air-conditioned shopping walkway, on top of a rich historical background and interesting shophouse architecture.

For a different view of Singapore, proceed on to Clarke Quay and have a go at the Reverse Bungy Jump. Feel your heart drop to your feet as you are flung up at great speeds and then jerked back down to earth. This experience is certainly not for the faint-hearted!

 
 

The day's activities should have worked up your appetite and imagination. Join the Magical Makansutra Food Safari, where you will be able to sample some of Singapore's finest street food. Each safari lasts about three hours and features five food types. We guarantee that our local food like Bak Kut Teh (pork ribs in tea soup), Laksa (noodles in a spicy coconut broth) and Roti Prata (Indian pancakes) will leave you wanting more.

After dinner, it's time to walk off those calories… if you dare. Go on the unique walking tour of the historic Kampong Glam area where you will be spooked by little-known supernatural stories of Sultan Mosque, Old Istana, Kris shop, perfume shop and the royal graveyard. Embrace thousands of years of Malay folklore and discover forgotten places - places that still haunt the memories of some in eerie twilight.


Uniquely Enjoyable :-

Singapore is great for families and kids - go on a Uniquely Enjoyable adventure!

Nothing will thrill the kids more than having breakfast at the Singapore Zoo with Orang Utans and snakes! Don't miss the popular animal shows such as the Wonders of the Wild and Elephants at Work & Play. Also, go on the hour-long exclusive Wild Discoverer Tour, where you will be taken on a behind-the-scenes tour of the zoo, including a first hand account of how the Singapore Zoo maintains their world-class exhibits, prepares their food, conditions behaviour and bonds with the animals. You may even get to feed the Hamadryas Baboons!

For lunch, we recommend any of the several seafood restaurants lining the waterfront at the East Coast Seafood Centre. Spice up your tastebuds with Singapore's famous Chilli Crab and for the kids, the less spicy but equally tasty Black Pepper Crab.

A dose of history awaits you and your family at the Changi Museum War Trail. The trail will bring you back into the past as you explore and discover Singapore during the war-stricken years of the Japanese Occupation.

For more adventure, hop aboard an amphibious craft that combines both a harbour tour & city tour in one – the Ducktour!
It's a unique way of touring our city that’s both fun and educational for the whole family!

Next, feast your eyes on a breathtaking view of the island city aboard the giant observation wheel Singapore Flyer. Take in the panoramic scenery in one of the 28 fully air-conditioned and UV protected capsules and experience something unique
at every turn. Standing at a stunning 165 metres high, you and your kids will be thrilled by the incredible view of a sparkling waterfront, towering skyscrapers and tropical greenery. The 30-minute ride promises to be a memorable family moment
that will last a lifetime.

 
 

After a day of sightseeing, head on down to Clarke Quay for delicious fusion cuisine and seafood. After dinner, visit the Night Safari – the world's first night-time wildlife park. With a new animal show – Creatures of the Night - featuring the stellar cast of leopards, pumas, otters, binturongs, racoons, owls, wolves, hyenas and servals, the whole family is bound to be entertained!

After tucking your kids in bed at the hotel, there’s still time to squeeze in a little shopping. Take a trip to Mustafa Centre - the only 24-hour mall in Singapore with bargains on anything from computer games and clothes to electronic products.


Uniquely Enriching :-

Discover the rich colours and contrasts of Singapore in the Uniquely Enriching tour, designed to showcase the city’s harmonious blend of culture, cuisine and arts.

Start the day with a local breakfast of Roti Prata (Indian pancakes) and a strong cup of kopi (Singapore-blend coffee) at a local coffee shop.

Then explore our colonial past, starting at The Arts House at the Old Parliament House – an iconic building in itself. Now an arts venue, this is the oldest surviving government office where Singapore's political leaders once took centrestage in debating hot issues of the day.

To learn more about Singapore's unique Peranakan culture, don't miss the Asian Civilisations Museum just 15 minutes away at Armenian Street. After learning about the origins and practices of Peranakan culture, why not experience it for yourself? Head on down to the Joo Chiat district, which is lined with quaint pre-war shophouses and great food outlets. Be sure to visit Kim Choo Kueh Chang, famous for the glutinous rice dumplings, and Rumah Bebe for their signature accessories and intricate beadwork seen in Peranakan clothing.

Another must is a visit to Little India at Serangoon Road - a district which embodies the vibrant and colourful culture of the Indian community in Singapore. You can watch the intricate weaving of jasmine garlands using banana tree fibre, pick up a packet of curry powder or spices, or let a parakeet tell your fortune.

Of course, no visit to Singapore would be complete without a visit to Chinatown – the original site where Chinese immigrants lived, worked and played. Much of Chinatown has recently been renovated, but their traditions and much of the architecture have survived the test of time. Join the walking tour of Chinatown - Secrets of the Red Lantern which reveals Chinatown's rich heritage & colourful history.

 
 
Finally, take a stroll to Chinatown Food Street where you can savour the best of delectable local cuisine and try local favourites like Char Kway Teow
(fried broad noodles) and Rojak (vegetable salad in peanut gravy) served from rows of outdoor hawker stalls like days of old.
