Discover Singapore's vibrant street food scene and city highlights on this private evening tour, featuring delicious dishes, iconic landmarks, and local insights.
Exploring Singapore with a Private Street Food & Night Tour
Singapore’s reputation as a global financial hub often overshadows its incredible street food culture and lively cityscape. This private tour offers a chance to experience both by taking you through bustling streets, iconic landmarks, and savoring authentic local dishes. It’s a thoughtfully curated 3.5-hour journey that blends cultural insights with culinary delights, making it perfect for travelers eager to see a different side of the Lion City.
One of the best features of this experience is the personalized touch of a private guide. When you’re exploring a city as dynamic as Singapore, having someone who can tailor the story to your interests truly enhances the experience. On the downside, the tour is relatively short, so if you’re looking for a deep dive or a longer culinary adventure, you might want to combine it with other activities. Still, for those with limited time or who prefer a guided overview, this tour hits a sweet spot. It’s ideal for first-time visitors, food lovers, and anyone wanting an authentic glimpse into Singapore’s street life and urban beauty.
This tour is designed to give you a balanced glimpse of Singapore’s culinary vibrancy and urban icons. Starting at the well-known Lau Pa Sat — a historic hawker center renowned for its satay and local dishes — you’ll dive into Singaporean flavors while learning about the origins and cultural significance of each dish. The guide, a local born and licensed, will share stories behind the food, making the tasting more meaningful.
After filling up on bites, the tour transitions to the city’s scenic spots. A short stroll along the walkway leads you to the impressive Fullerton Hotel, a symbol of Singapore’s blend of history and modernity. Here, you can take in the skyline and appreciate the architecture from afar, setting the scene for what’s to come.
Next, you’ll visit Merlion Park, home to Singapore’s most recognizable symbol. From this spot, you’ll get a perfect view of the Marina Bay Sands and the city skyline, ideal for photos that capture the essence of Singapore’s cityscape.
The final stop at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay – rounds out the evening. This iconic building, often called “The Durian” due to its distinctive shape, is a cultural hub. The waterfront surroundings allow you to relax and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, soaking in the city’s energy as night falls.
