How to score a free tour of Singapore while transiting through Changi Airport

12 Dec 2019

Heard about Singapore,  but haven’t had the opportunity to visit? Or perhaps you’ve transited at Singapore Changi Airport, but never got to see the country? Well, don’t miss out the next time you have a stopover at the airport in Singapore!

Given its small geographical size, you can actually get to do quite a bit of sighting-seeing while on a layover ! Simply sign up for a free city tour when you’re at Changi Airport. And who knows, this glimpse of the city may just inspire you to plan for a proper trip to Singapore in the future!

The Free Singapore Tour is a special programme for Changi Airport’s transit passengers. It brings tour participants who have a minimum of 5.5hrs of transit time on a 2.5hr guided tour of Singapore. There are seven daily tours to choose from and seats are on a first-come-first-served basis.

There are two types of bus tours to choose from – a Heritage Tour that offers a glimpse of the different cultures that can be found in Singapore; and a City Sights Tour that offers a quick summary of key tourist attractions.

1. Heritage Tour – for an immersive, cultural experience

Get a glimpse into Singapore’s various cultures on the Heritage Tour route.

As the name suggests, this tour gives you a glimpse of the various cultures that make Singapore a melting pot. This tour brings you to Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam and the Merlion Park, with a short stop at Kampong Glam and Merlion Park for photo-taking! Chinatown, like all other international cities around the world, is where you’ll get a full-blown experience of the local Chinese community and its heritage. Little India is the heart of the Indian community and Kampung Glam is the Malay-Muslim quarter in Singapore. Each of these places has unique characteristics representing the different cultures – a must visit if it’s your first time here!

Pro-tip: if you are transiting through Singapore during the festive periods of Lunar New Year, Deepavali or Ramadan/Hari Raya, these areas will be decked out with colourful lights along the streets. There will also be night markets set up to celebrate these important cultural events. Tours to these locations will give you a fantastic opportunity to take lots of photos as you breeze through the streets in the Free Singapore Tour bus.

2. City Sights Tour – for lovers of modern architecture

Night shot of Singapore’s CBD area at night

The Singapore skyline is a sight to behold and you’ll be amazed to hear the story of how this bustling modern city was once a small fishing village. Singapore is also often voted as one of the best cities for international businesses. This tour route will bring you to the Central Business District, parts of the renowned Orchard Road shopping belt, the Merlion Park and Gardens by the Bay . Participants can expect a short stop at Merlion Park and Gardens by the Bay for photo-taking.

Excited to hop onto the Free Singapore Tour bus? Here are some other information you’ll need to know before your adventure begins.

How do I register for the Free Singapore Tour?

In case you’re wondering how the sign up booth looks like, this is it!

As this tour is highly popular, reservations are not allowed to avoid no-shows. You are encouraged to head to the tour counters as soon as you arrive to book the tour slots. If you have some time before the tour, you can also explore other parts of the airport to find out why it’s been so highly rated by travellers around the world.

Pro-tip: if you’re flying with Singapore Airlines or SilkAir, you can contact your local Singapore Airlines office to make a booking for you.

Do I need a visa?

Citizens of certain nationalities require a visa for the Free Singapore Tour, while some nationalities are eligible for a Visa Free Transit Facility. You may visit the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority’s website to check on visa requirements.

Can I leave the tour midway and venture around Singapore on my own?

You are not allowed to leave the tour midway as the tour operator must send everyone back to the airport. However, once you return to the airport, you are free to continue your adventure in Singapore should you wish to. Wherever you go, please ensure that you factor enough time to return to the airport for your connecting flight.

Plan early for best results

• All destinations
• Escape the airport: see Singapore on your layover, Singapore

Experience outline

• Make the most of your layover in Singapore with a local host to guide you through the city
• However long you’re touching down for, your host will create an itinerary which is customized to your time and interests
• You could see the city’s highlights, visiting Marina Bay where you’ll find many of the city’s top attractions
• Visit a hawker center with your host and try Singapore’s favorite street foods
• Explore lesser-known neighborhoods and see the real Singapore if that’s your style, or even head to the beach on one of Singapore’s islands!
• Your host will meet you at the airport, and make sure you’re back there in time for your connecting flights

What you’ll do

Forget about sitting around in the airport on your layover - that’s for time-wasters, and you’re not one of those. Get out there and explore Singapore instead! Your local host will meet you at the airport and take you on a whirlwind adventure of the city.

You could breeze through Gardens by the Bay or even sip a Singapore Sling with a view from the rooftop of the iconic Marina Bay Sands - home to the best view in the city - or if time is on your side, you could even make the trip to explore one of Singapore’s lesser-visited islands.

Just don’t miss a visit to a hawker center, the food complexes where locals come almost daily for their favorite dishes - your host will know just the dishes to recommend!

Where you’ll go

Sure, Singapore airport has a butterfly garden, but there’s more to life. You could explore Singapore’s most iconic districts, like Marina Bay and the futuristic Supertree Grove - all the more mesmerizing if you can catch the Gardens by the Bay lights show.

If it’s street eats you’re looking for, look no further than Chinatown, or you could ask your host to show you one of the city’s more alternative neighborhoods, like bohemian Tiong Bahru, which is creeping onto the radar of Singapore’s coolest neighborhoods.

You could head afield and discover the shophouse (buildings that are a fusion of Western and local architecture) restoration wave in Geylang or head north of the tourist districts and feast on authentic cuisine in Little India.

My tour guide Mark was great. He was very knowledgeable and attentive. Given the time we had to explore he provide a very thorough experience of Singapore and unique qualities the island country had to offer.

February 2024

Despite the pouring rain, our tour guide, Wieben/Jon, went above and beyond. First of all, we had booked a walking tour, and due to the rain, he arrived in a car with umbrellas. He was passionate and engaging and made the best of the weather we were given. He had a sense of humor and answers to all of our questions.
