Singapore may be one of the most expensive cities in Asia, but that does not mean you have to splurge on everything during your time here. There are several free tours available for you to join to experience the best of Singapore without hurting your wallet!

City Walking Tours

Monster Day Tours and Indie Singapore provides free walking tours to explore Kampong Glam, Chinatown, and Little India in the morning. In the afternoon, there are free walking tours that explore Marina Bay Sands + Gardens by the Bay, Civic District + Singapore River, and Bugis and Bras Basah. The morning tours start at 9.30 AM, while the afternoon ones start at 4 PM. The tours last for 2.5 hours, so be sure to wear proper footwear and have umbrella + a bottle of water with you!

Do note that these tours may not run every day, so check out their website for more info on tour schedule! Once you’ve signed up, simply turn up at the designated spot and time, and follow your tour guide! Even though these tours are completely free, a tip to your guide is always appreciated.

For Nature Lovers

If you’d like to see more greenery, Singapore’s National Parks also provides nature walks and walking tours for free! Join them for their learning forest tour, bird watching events, and guided walks. Visit their website for more info!

Extra: For Supernatural Lovers…

If you’re not in the mood for a city or nature walks and you’re looking for something that’s quite different, consider visiting Haw Par Villa! Haw Par Villa best described as “Singapore’s largest outdoor art gallery” filled with quirky and eclectic arts in Asian culture, history, philosophy, and region. Haw Par Villa is famous for its Journeys to Hell tour in which you’ll explore “Hell’s Museum” filled with depictions of the afterlife from the perspective of various religion.

Have fun planning your itinerary and see you soon on WordCamp Singapore 2019!
