Last week our  Founder Laura was invited out on a Kayak Singapore expedition with Asian Detours. She had such a brilliant time that we set up a partnership with Asian Detours so that we can offer high-quality Pulau Ubin activities! There are many many things to do in Singapore and if you only have a few days it will be hard to prioritise. We recommend putting this kayak Singapore activity to the top of your list though!Pulau Ubin can be reached by bumboat from Changi Point Ferry terminal. The short 10-minute boat ride will take you back in time to rural Kampong life.This is the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get in touch with nature.The mangrove kayaking expedition is suitable for all levels, including people who have not kayaked before. It is a great family-friendly activity.You find out more about our Pulau Ubin Mangrove kayaking trips on our website HERE.#boattour #harbourcruise #sailing #cruising #singaporetour #hellosingapore #adventure #tourism #travelbug #wanderlust #singaporeriver #pulauubin #kayaking #port #traveloften #discoversingapore #visitsingapore #bbctravel #instatravel #kayakadventure #wateradventure #singaporeisland

Our guests went inside Sultan Mosque with their singapore tour guide

Not only the food tour singapore but your singapore city tour will take you to Arab street

our singapore food tours come passed the Masjid Sultan.

Check out different angles to capture your moments on private tours singapore

On a Singapore day tour, there is no way that you will miss out on the multi-cultural nature of our little red dot! You will find Churches, Buddhist Temples, Hindu Temples and Mosques. The most famous mosque by far is Masjid Sultan in the historic Kampong Glam district.Here we see two of our guests who visited the Sultan Mosque on their Singapore city tour with us. It was built in 1824 for Sultan Hussein Shah, the first sultan of Singapore. When the Muslim community grew bigger in Singapore having become an important centre for Islamic commerce, culture and art, the mosque soon became too small to accommodate everybody.Around about that time the Masjid Sultan was due for some repairs and Swan and Maclaren, Singapore’s oldest architectural office, created the new mosque that over 5,000 contributed to.  Each dome base is decorated with glass bottle ends, donated by poor Muslims during its construction so that all Muslims, not just the rich, could contribute. If you are taking a Singapore city tour with us your guide will point out the bottles. In 1975 the Masjid Sultan was declared a preserved historical building under the patronage of the Preservation of Monuments Board Act. In January 2016, Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officiated Completion of the Refurbishment & Restoration project and also inaugurated the Opening of the Glass Lift at the mosque main building. In October 2016, was awarded the prestigious Architectural Heritage Award 2016 from the Urban Redevelopment Authority. Our Singapore day tours are the perfect opportunity for every architecture fan (but also people interested in history) to visit this amazing beautiful building. Ask your Singapore tour guide to include the Sultan Mosque to your itinerary.#design #masjidsultan #photooftheday #singapore #sg #lonelyplanet #hellosingaporetours #ilovesg #hellosg #streetsofsingapore #wanderlust #buildings #sglife #wanderlust #discoversingapore #discoversg #visitsingapore #sultanmosque #kampongglam #multicultural #hometomany #diversity #arabstreet #hajilane

The singapore food guide that took Larry Fong to Marine Parade

Book your private food tour singapore today

Rumour has it that Hello Singapore food tour is booming and starts becoming very popular amongst the rich and famous in Hollywood! 😃Last week we were so lucky to have another fun and food-loving VIP with us on our Singapore food tour! When Larry Fong (cinematographer of movies like 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, Lost and Skull Island) was in Malaysia for a commercial shot, he had a layover in our little red dot and took a Singapore food tour with us. Of course, we were super excited and had to make a lucky draw for the Hello Singapore tour guide to take Larry Fong on the food tour....And the winner was Su Ling!She showed him the best of Singapore food tours. They started in the East Coast with Kaya, Laksa and Noya dumplings. According to Larry, those were his favourite foods of the day.Larry shared with us that food courts in the States are mainly burger places, mini cafés and restaurants. He said that he wished they would have hawker centres like the ones in Singapore.Next on the list of things to do in Singapore was Little India, to try some more delicious food. Because it is a popular place, they shared a table with some other tourists who were in Singapore from India. I wonder if they knew who they were sharing a table with? When you are on a Singapore tour with somebody who has worked with some really cool celebrities, you can't possibly hold back your curiosity about all these people you see in the cinema. So, we asked Larry which famous actors and actresses he had met and what he thought of them... Well, we had to promise not to reveal it... Sorry, folks! 😉At the end of our tour, we looked back to a fabulous day with Larry Fong and had won a new friend! We hope he will talk about us to his friends in Hollywood and maybe one day... One day we will have the Avengers coming on our Singapore food tour!#goodfood #travel #traveloften #wanderlust #discoversingapore #food #goodeats #happy #getinmybelly #eatsingapore #bbctravel #foodie #foodadventure #singapore #sg #foodietours #adventure #welltraveled #tourism #travelbug #lonelyplanet #travelstoke #hellosingaporetours #singaporetour #sgfoodie #foodtour #visitsingapore #privatetours #grouptours #publictours #customisedtours #privateguide #personalguide #larryfong #hollywoodmeetssingapore #hollywood #cinematography #celebrity 

Whether in a meal or as BBQ! Try this on singapore food tour

Chicken or frog? try this on a private food tour singapore

Shark fin soup - you can find it on a singapore excursion

Tastes better than it looks. Ask you singapore food guide

ask for vegetarian options on your singapore food tour

Thinking of a Singapore city tour, you might have many things like Marina Bay Sands, Orchard Road or many other touristy places in mind. As for food, you might think of Kaya toast, Laksa or any kind of curry... BUT did you know that Singapore is home to some very curious foods that might not be for the faint-hearted?Let's start this nice and easy. Here is our very special TOP 5!

Chicken Feet! Although the appearance is maybe not very appealing and once you get over that it is actually a chicken's feet, you will quickly realise "This does taste like chicken!"  These wrinkly claws are delicious (mostly sold out by 9 AM!!!) in a meal or as a snack on your next BBQ!

Frog porridge is up next! If you would eat with your eyes closed, there is a good chance you will think you are eating chicken. Well, if it wasn't for some slimy coating, that is. However, who could tell it is frog from the picture??? The best place to find Frog Porridge on our Private Tours Singaporeis Geylang - interested? Just ask us to take you!

Sharks Fin Soup! Probably world's most controversial food. The only special thing about this soup is mostly the premium price tag. It mainly is served at weddings and graduation party menus. The taste is slightly fishy and probably something one could live without - taking environmental concerns into account.

Pork intestines mee sua! Why waste anything from pork when you can have EVERYTHING? First braised then cooked with mee sua (salted noodles from wheat flour) are very soft and taste much better than they look! Soft and fragrant, one can get used to it and it might become a favorite!And last but not least - if for any reason we could not convince you to try these local curiosities whilst on your Singapore excursion, there is one last thing that might make you crave for more: You might not get the exact same presentation but promise, these cute vegetables are not only healthy but insanely delicious with any sauce from your local hawker center on your Singapore city tour!

What is your favourite Singlish word?

Alamak! It is the Singaporean exclamation of surprise, like "OMG!" made popular by a local comedian.

What is your favourite makan (food) place?

I'm gonna be greedy here: - Tapioca cakes from Maxwell Hawker - Janggut Laksa at Katong (Try it on our food tour!)- Lor mee from Tiong Bahru market.

**I'm sure our readers will agree, they all sound delicious! 🍽🥣

Do you have a favourite place in Singapore?

I love the National Gallery! Not because I am a fan of the arts but because the 2 buildings (City Hall and Supreme Court) are a place that is rich in the modern history of Singapore and the architect did such a good job preserving and linking the two buildings together.

Tell us the funniest thing that happened to you during a tour.

Probably, not the funniest but it was memorable and made a joke out of it and it was good fun. We took the train with the guests, a couple from the USA. The door of the train was closing, the husband rushed into the train, the door closed after him, leaving me and the wife behind. Both husband and wife did not have mobile phones with them. We used sign language to communicate with the husband to stop at the next stop (good thing he understood! 😃). At the next stop, we found each other and the couple joked that the husband purposely walked quickly in the hope to spend a day on his own without the wife. He should have planned it a bit more careful probably... 😂
