Singapore Tours

For a small destination, Singapore packs a mighty punch. Known as the ‘Gateway to Asia’, Singapore is a perfect introduction to this beguiling region. Once a British colonial trading post, today Singapore is a thriving global economic powerhouse and one of the Four Asian Tigers. Despite its rapid development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, affluent Singapore has not forgotten its traditional roots.

One minute, you’ll be walking through traditional Chinatown, with its roadside markets and colourful lanterns, the next, you’ll find yourself in the Gardens by the Bay, an ultra-modern creative waterside nature park with futuristic structures.

On a Newmarket Holidays Singapore tour, you’ll discover the city-state’s most iconic sights and areas, from Little India and the Colonial District, crowned by the iconic Raffles Hotel (where the Singapore Sling cocktail was first mixed), to glitzy Orchard Road and futuristic Marina Bay. Take the time to explore the Gardens by the Bay and the UNESCO-protected Botanic Gardens, home to the National Orchid Centre.

Eating and shopping are two pastimes that Singaporeans enjoy perhaps above all else, and you’ll get the chance to do plenty of both on your tour. Singapore is renowned for its hawker food centres, which, thanks to its multicultural identity, serve a variety of delicious foods, including Malaysian, Chinese, Indian and Thai. There are several stalls that have even been awarded the prestigious Michelin Star! As for shopping, you’ll find everything from clothes and antiques to electronic gadgets and perfume for sale in Singapore.
