Overview

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! Withlocals Off the Beaten Track Tour™ is one of Withlocals' signature tours available in major cities worldwide. We work with passionate local guides who earn a fair fee. We support local economies by only offering local produce and prevent over-tourism with only small non-intrusive groups. Our tours are carbon-neutral and away from the standard tourist routes.

Hidden Singapore

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great time with Monica who was a knowledgeable and friendly guide on our trip around parts of Singapore most visitors do not see. We ended up spending 3 hrs with her on our booked “2 hr” tour. The highlight was a wander around the last remaining kampong in Singapore. Monica also bought us locals coffee and some welcome water. We recommend this 5 star tour.

Excellent tailored tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Joisse gave is a wonderful tailored tour. We wanted to see real life in Singapore, no sights, and Joisse took us to a village and public housing where tourist normally don’t go. Communication before and during the tour was great. All expectations were fulfilled. We learned a lot, all questions were honestly answered and we loved the little stories. Joisse is a caring, wonderful person with humor and it was a pleasure to get known to her. Thank you very much. We can absolutely recommend her as a tour guide.

Amazing behind the scenes of Singapore tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Monica was friendly , on time and had a great plan for our tour . She is well read and has a sense of humour. She showed us the real life side to Singapore which involved visiting a neighbourhood where people of modern Singapore live, this gave us an insight in to the day to day life locals live .including the local temples, eating areas, shops and hobbies. She took us to the only traditional neighbourhood preserved and protected from new builds . This tour is one you would never get on the commercial tourist trail. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. It’s the first we have arranged through ‘with locals’. This app will now be our ‘go to’ for future holidays however Monica has set the bar high and so we will be lucky if we ever get another tour guide as friendly and informed as she is . Thank you Monica !

The best city tour we ever had.

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour is really something special and shows Singapore from a different side. Our kids were thrilled until the end and our expectations for a city tour were more than exceeded. This was one of the best tours we have experienced. This was not your typical tourist attraction. So if you want to experience something new, book the tours with WITHLOCALS and especially with Richard.

Very nice experience in Singapore

Published on Sep, 2024

We did 2 tours with Monica : Singapore Highlights and Hidden Gems. 2 very complementary tours that allowed us to have a genuine impression on the city. Monica was very knowledgable on city and its history and shared anecdotes and informations with good humor and in a perfect English. Highly recommended!!
