Viewed by 126 travelers
Day 1 · Mon, Dec 8
Singapore - City Panoramic Drive

Arrival & City Panoramic Drive (Private)

Morning:

Arrive in Singapore and settle into your hotel — allow time to freshen up and enjoy a relaxed breakfast of kaya toast and kopi at a nearby kopitiam (try Ya Kun or Killiney Kopitiam). Meet your private driver mid-morning for a gentle city orientation: cruise past the Civic District to view the Padang, the historic Fullerton Hotel, and the colonial facades along Boat Quay while your guide points out highlights and suggests places to return to later.

Afternoon:

Continue the private panoramic drive through the modern heart of Marina Bay, pausing for photos at the Merlion Park and the waterfront promenade with the iconic Marina Bay Sands looming above. Your driver will also take you to the colourful Peranakan shophouses in Joo Chiat or Katong (time permitting) and down Orchard Road so you get a sense of Singapore’s shopping pulse and diverse neighbourhoods.

Evening:

As sunset approaches, enjoy a short stop at Gardens by the Bay for a first glimpse of the Supertree Grove and the glowing conservatories from the outside — a perfect preview for your later visit. Finish the evening with a riverside dinner recommendation near Clarke Quay or Marina Bay, where you can sample chilli crab or Hainanese chicken rice while reflecting on the city’s contrasts between heritage and sleek modernity.

Day 2 · Tue, Dec 9
Sentosa Island

Sentosa Afternoon: Cable Car, Madame Tussauds + Wings of Time (Private Transfers)

Morning:

Start the day with a leisurely hotel breakfast and a short stroll or quick visit to the nearby Labrador Nature Reserve or Tanjong Pagar for a last look at city life before heading to Sentosa — your private transfer will collect you mid-morning so you can travel relaxed and on schedule. If you have time, pop into VivoCity mall for a coffee and some light shopping or pick up your Sentosa attraction vouchers at the ticketing counter before boarding the iconic Singapore Cable Car for a one-way scenic ride to Sentosa, enjoying panoramic views of the harbour and Southern Islands.

Afternoon:

Arrive on Sentosa and head straight to Madame Tussauds Singapore where your combined ticket covers the interactive ‘Ultimate Star’ experiences and the short boat ride; pose with lifelike figures in the celebrity zones and explore the Spirit of Singapore exhibit to learn about local culture. Afterward, wander the Sentosa waterfront — grab lunch at Quayside Isle or a beachfront café — then relax on Siloso Beach or visit Imbiah Lookout for quick attractions before your evening lineup.

Evening:

As dusk falls, settle in for the magical Wings of Time show on the Sentosa shoreline — your private transfers will ensure timely arrival and departure; watch the dazzling light, water and pyrotechnic spectacle set to soaring music. After the show, enjoy dinner at one of Sentosa’s waterfront restaurants or return via cable car (if you purchased a return) to the city, reminiscing about the day’s highlights as you glide back toward the skyline.

Day 3 · Wed, Dec 10
Resorts World Sentosa

Universal Studios Singapore (Non-peak, Mon-Thu) with Transfers (Private)

Morning:

After a hearty hotel breakfast, your private transfer will collect you for the short ride to Resorts World Sentosa — arrive early to beat lines and soak in the park’s cinematic atmosphere. Start in Hollywood for photo ops and then head to Sci-Fi City to experience the adrenaline-pumping Battlestar Galactica dueling coasters or Transformers: The Ride for an immersive 3D battle.

Afternoon:

Refuel with lunch at Mel’s Drive-In or Goldilocks for classic burgers or comfort fare, then wander through Ancient Egypt to take on Revenge of the Mummy before exploring Far Far Away’s whimsical attractions and the Shrek meet-and-greet. Use your non-peak advantage to catch multiple rides in Madagascar and the Lost World — don’t miss Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure if you’re up for a splashy finale.

Evening:

As the park winds down, enjoy a leisurely dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants in Resorts World Sentosa or at Malaysian Food Street to sample hawker-style favourites, reflecting on the day’s highlights. Your private transfer will bring you back to the hotel, leaving time to relax or stroll along Sentosa’s boardwalk lights before turning in for the night.

Day 4 · Thu, Dec 11
Marina Bay / Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay & Free Time for Last-minute Shopping

Morning:

Start your day with an early visit to Gardens by the Bay to avoid crowds — wander the cooled Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, marvel at the misty Cloud Mountain and rare plants, and take the OCBC Skyway up among the Supertrees for sweeping Marina Bay skyline views. Pop into Satay by the Bay or a nearby café for a light brunch before strolling the waterfront toward Marina Bay Sands for photos and a peek inside the Shoppes.

Afternoon:

Spend the afternoon at your leisure for any last-minute shopping or museum stops: explore the luxury and boutique stores at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, nip into the ArtScience Museum for a thought-provoking exhibit, or head down to Raffles City and the historic Arcade for souvenirs and local treats like pandan kaya or bak kwa. If you prefer more greenery, return to Gardens by the Bay to explore lesser-known trails or visit the Marina Barrage for kite-flying and panoramic city views.

Evening:

As evening falls, enjoy a relaxed riverside dinner at Satay by the Bay, Makansutra Gluttons Bay, or a Marina Bay waterfront restaurant while watching the city lights come alive; return to Gardens by the Bay to catch the enchanting Garden Rhapsody light-and-sound show at the Supertree Grove. Finish your trip with a leisurely stroll along the Marina Bay promenade or a nightcap at a rooftop bar in Marina Bay Sands, soaking in the glittering skyline before your departure.
