Two nights in one hotel, and a city small enough to do properly in three days. Colonial quarter and Chinatown on foot, the gardens and the bay after dark, Katong and the islands in between.
FromUS$300per person, twin share — two nights' hotel with breakfast, all guided touring. Compare the three hotel tiers
Fly in and out of Changi (SIN). It is 20 km from the centre and the transfer takes about 25 minutes — one of the few cities where that number holds at rush hour.
Confirmation
Book at least 7 days before departure. We confirm hotel and touring availability within 24 hours of your deposit, and refund in full if we cannot secure your dates. Before we confirm we check your dates against anything the itinerary is built round — museums, markets and monuments keep weekly closing days, and we would rather move a day than spend one at a locked gate.
Three days is enough to see Singapore properly rather than quickly, and the plan is built around walking, with the MRT filling the gaps for a couple of dollars a ride.

Arrival

Arrival & Marina Bay TICKETS INCLUDED
Arrive at Changi. Make your own way in — the transfer is not included; the city centre is 25 minutes away, and unusually for an airport transfer that figure holds at any hour.
Check in and rest. If you land early, the hotel will hold your bags and the day starts whenever you want it to.
Late afternoon around Marina Bay — the whole bay is a walkable loop of about 3.5 km, and the light is best on it from five o’clock.
The Merlion for the obligatory photograph back across the water, then dinner at one of the quays.
After dark: Gardens by the Bay. The Supertrees light and play twice a night, at 19:45 and 20:45, it is free, and it is genuinely worth timing your dinner around.

Four Quarters in a Day GUIDED
Start in Chinatown — the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the Sri Mariamman next door, and the shophouse streets between them.
Lunch at a hawker centre. Order from more than one stall; that is the point of the room, and Chinatown Complex holds the cheapest Michelin-starred food anywhere in the world.
Into the Civic District for the Padang and the old colonial buildings, then the National Gallery, which is the old Supreme Court and City Hall joined under one roof.
Kampong Glam in the late afternoon for the Sultan Mosque, Arab Street’s textile shops, and Haji Lane behind them.
Finish in Little India, which is at its best after dark and is the least polished quarter in the city — deliberately so.
This day is about six kilometres on foot. It is all flat and all air-conditioned in between, but wear the right shoes and carry water.

Katong, Sentosa & Departure AT LEISURE
Breakfast, check out, and leave your bags with the concierge.
East to Katong and Joo Chiat for the Peranakan shophouses — two-storey terraces in mint, coral and duck-egg, and the laksa Singaporeans argue about.
Or south to Sentosa instead if you would rather have a beach or the cable car. Both fit a half day; neither fits alongside the other.
Transfer to Changi. Allow 2.5 hours, and spend the spare one airside — the butterfly garden and the rooftop pool are past security, not before it.
Long layover on the way home? Changi runs free city tours for transit passengers with more than five and a half hours. Ask us and we will tell you whether your connection qualifies.

Restaurants worth trying
Breakfast is in the price. Every other meal is yours to choose, so here is where we would eat. We do not arrange any of these and you would pay for them yourself. They are simply places we rate, near where the trip goes. Tick any you like and they appear on the map.
Suggested, not included. Opening hours and prices are theirs, not ours — and a place that is busy at eight will be busy whether or not you booked through us.
Hotels & price
Two nights, in one hotel, with daily breakfast. Singapore is small and the transport is excellent, so location matters less here than almost anywhere — but it still shapes the evenings.

Seasonal pricing. Singapore has no real off season — it sits one degree off the equator and the weather barely moves. Hotel rates do: the Formula 1 weekend in September, the year-end holidays and the larger trade fairs push them sharply higher, while February and November are usually the cheapest. Your quote will show the exact figure for your dates.
Included
2 nights' accommodation with daily breakfast, in the hotel tier you choose · a guided walking day on Day 2 · the Gardens by the Bay conservatories · English-speaking guide
