Tribe Tours
"Discover Singapore through privately guided tours curated by locals.
Our tours give the traveller a glimpse of the city, its people as they are. Our signature through all our tours lie in you doing, experiencing and interacting with locals rather than as a passive tourist. It may involve you cooking local dishes, snapping pictures of local architecture, tasting, even ordering food like a local. Our day tours range from 2 hour walkabouts to half day tours. Group size are kept small and intimate to facilitate interaction.
Our guests leave as friends of Tribe and bring home many colourful memories.
Most tell us it's the connection made with many of our Chiefs (our super guides) and Natives (local experts) of our tours."
