Off the Beaten Track in Singapore: Private City Tour

About this experience

Ready to experience a side of Singapore like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Hougang!

If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Singapore? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Sri Darma Muneeswaran Temple, and more that let the true form of the city shine!
