There, you can indulge in the lush tropical beauty of the Chek Jawa swamps and mangroves and visit the kampongs (or villages) present on the island. One of the off-the-beaten track things to do in Singapore, witness how the local people live without the comforts of the city and spend some time with your guide to enjoy the peace and quiet of Pulau Ubin. This is an opportunity that should not be missed!

Cycle along the beach at East Coast Park
A favorite pastime amongst locals, blend in with them and go on a journey across the coastline by renting a bicycle at a kiosk along East Coast Park. Plot a route with your local host and, together, travel across East Coast Park and enjoy the serenity provided by the sights and sounds of the ocean, a welcome escape from the busyness of the city. Don’t forget to make friends with the local cyclists along the way! Bring along some snacks and goodies and you can also have a picnic at the beach as well!
An irreplaceable experience, cycling in East Coast Park is one of the must-do things in Singapore to feel like a local.
Eat at a neighborhood coffee shop
There is nothing more Singaporean than eating at a neighborhood coffee shop! Although the fine dining opportunities in Singapore are great, nothing beats the experience of eating at a coffee shop surrounded by hungry and talkative locals.
Follow your hosts to their favorite stalls and unlock the best-kept culinary secrets of Singapore for yourself, be it savory and peppery Bak Kut Teh (pork bone broth) at Rangoon Road, piping hot Wanton Mee (Dumpling Noodles) at Joo Chiat or smooth and rich oyster omelette at Newton, everything during a personalized food tour in Singapore.

A great foo guru
"Arthur was a delight to explore the food scene with. He had great food knowledge and also imparted a lot of information on the history of Singapore. Such a fun tour and really recommend him. Thank you Arthur 💕"
"Monica did a fantastic job showing us the sights of Singapore as well as its history and how its citizens address lodging, food and other necessities. She was a pleasure during initial contact and helped arrange our tour and was flexible when we added some young children to our group and requested a last minute itinerary adjustment. So much more personal than a cruise ship excursion could ever be."
RalphAbout local MonicaSingapore, February 11, 2026
"We had the pleasure of experiencing a 4-hour sightseeing tour with John, and we can't recommend him enough! John's extensive knowledge about Singapore's history truly brought the city to life. He not only shared fascinating facts about iconic landmarks but also infused the tour with personal stories from his family history, making the experience even more engaging and relatable. It was like having a friend show us around their beloved city.
John is undoubtedly one of the best guides we have ever met, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an enriching and enjoyable tour experience in Singapore.
Thank you, John, for a wonderful day!

"We had a fabulous time on our culinary tour. Grayson was a very knowledgeable guide…not just about food but everything about Singapore. He looked after us very well. We felt very safe in his hands and he explained about local traditions. The tour covered three different areas and cultures. We feel we know much more about Singapore through its food and traditions.

FANTASTIC guide!
"Joisse (Joyce) is highly professional, highly knowledgable, friendly and fun! We booked her for two tours ( The 10 Tasting of Singapore: Street Food where we wandered through the regional food scenes in Singapore and Gardens by the Bay). We wish we had more time in Singapore so we'd have had a chance to spend more time with her. She is truly an AMBASSADOR for Singapore. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. You will experience the best Singapore can offer with Joisse."

Great food and tour with Grayson!
"My wife and I had a great experience with Grayson! He gave us lots of good facts and knowledge about Singapore as we explored Arabic, Indian, and Chinese food. The food and drink selection was very good which he chose for us. Our favorite being the Indian cuisine at one of the Hawker centers. China town was also a cool and interesting experience to walk through."

"Ang listened to our requests of places we wanted to go in Singapore and we did those. He also gave an excellent history lesson of Singapore. Ang was interesting and full of knowledge and energy. "
"Great food tour, sampling Malaysian breakfast and Indian and Chinese dishes in Hawker centers. Come hungry. Plenty to eat.
William was a very knowledgeable and passionate about Singapore. He provided lots of insight about the evolution of the city. He also accommodated an earlier start time the day of our tour. (Our first day in Singapore.) He also taught us about using the MRT, which helped later!

A very knowledgeable man.
"Our tour with Peter was most interesting, His knowledge of all things "Singapore" is second to none. We didn't feel rushed as we walked around the city, ending up at the merlin. He then took us to a hawker centre on his way home so we could get some lunch. It was a real pleasure to have met him."
