Thanks for putting all the information together. I'm visiting Singapore in a few days, and I can't wait to explore the city by MRT and taste all the DELICIOUS food!
You should do a video on the best things to do in Singapore at every price; budget, mid level, and luxury! Also I'm helping my family plan our trip to Singapore this upcoming June and your videos have been super helpful!!!
Just found your channel while browsing youtube at 5AM. I guess my body refuses to let go of the Singapore timezone from my last visit a few days ago. This time I stayed at Bugis, could see the Suntec City Fountain, Raffles Hotel, Victoria Concert Hall and even the Istana from my hotel room and the Bugis Station was just an elevator ride away. Skyscraper architecture is fascinating! Though next time I want to stay longer and in a place somewhere in Chinatown, Geylang or Ang Mo Kio. Nonid for formal tourist attractions, for me the nice weather, delicious food, the Kopi, the clean and green and well designed everywhere, the friendly people and the wonderful unofficial official language of the Singaporeans with its fascinating grammar and rojak of vocabulary are the real reasons to visit again :-)
@@dashingheights Thanks! I know Singaporeans are very busy, but what would you recommend to do to get to know some of the locals when you're just visiting as a tourist and for work?
@@hcdenton I would recommend getting on Meetup.com and find join an interest group. There are many free meetups of people just sharing common passion for activities like hiking, jogging, etc. Have fun!
Wow I wish I saw your video before I booked my accomodation in Chinatown earlier this year for my trip next year. Great recommendations. I might visit the areas mentioned eg bugis
Thank you so much for your videos! I’ve been watching some of them for like a month and they are super helpful and entertaining! Going to Singapore in March 😊🤭🤭
ahhh yes Laksa is one of the dishes you MUST try!! Us locals also goes for the Janggut / Katong laksa, both of which you can find at Queensway Shopping Center maps.app.goo.gl/QCq9Vhte4sArCo6w8
Can you make a review of the new limited time attraction in Singapore or can you keep us updated with new Singapore places. Can you also make a video about the future of attractions in SG.
I always enjoy watching your vids and want to share them in facebook in the travel groups I’m part of but it won’t let me. May I suggest posting your content in Facebook as well? Or are you there already but I just dont know?
Thank you for your suggestion! I'm still figuring things out at the moment and am not active on Facebook yet. Im planning videos to put into my IG account, which I believe does connect to Facebook, follow me at @thetomitomo ^^
Thank you for this guide, very helpful. We'll visit SG next year. Could you make a guide on traveling with a baby/kids? Not sure how baby-friendly SG is. Thanks!
Yay! I'm happy to be of help to you. Sure! SG for the most part is baby friendly. It's easy to bring your strollers into the public buses, though at peak period you're expected to fold them. The trains are also as convenient to push your strollers. Most of the major attractions are built with wheelchair access in mind, so all the more easy for parents with children to just explore with their strollers. Most restaurants also offer high-chairs ^^ For higher end restaurants they might even give free toy I doubt you'll have much problem enjoying the city with a baby in tow :)
Thank you so much. This helps a lot. Can you help me with a few things: 1. How do I book cabs with a car seat if Im travelling with a 2 year old? 2. Do I need a card for my kid also when travelling in busses and trains?
#1: You can download the Grab app, when ordering a taxi, you can choose cars with child seat/booster seat. Do note these options will cost about 20% more. #2: If your child is
HMM i would imagine Madame Tussaud in Sentosa would be of interest for seniors, because there are many classic characters that might be nicely nostalgic for seniors :) I also recommend Bird Paradise, their OPEN-AIR aviary is very unique, i imagine seniors would love to experience meeting birds in person than through cages!
Came upon your video while I was searching for SG travel tips. Very helpful! I’ll be going to SG in February next yr to watch a concert at The Star Theater Vista Exchange. Can you recommend a good budget hotel near the venue for a solo traveler? :) Thank you Will continue to watch your other videos! Thanks for sharing loads of info esp to us non-SG residents! 😁
Im happy to be of help ^^ If you're staying in SG for a few days I recommend hotel from the areas mentioned in the video, because that theater is actually quite far west of SG that's far from the other SG attractions. Im working on a deep dive into the specific hostel/hotels at the moment, so I cant personally recommend any just YET. I will share any good findings in future videos :)
The most decorated areas would be Chinatown along New Bridge Road & Upper Cross Street. For bigger events look out for River Hongbao (dates TBC) and Chingay www.chingay.gov.sg/ on 7-8Feb Have a fruitful visit!!
Hello, can you please advise where to watch fireworks with kids? Anypark or any restaurant? we must buy ticket beforehand? Is there a restaurant we can reserve and watch new year fireworks 🎆
heya, fireworks are free to the public, dont need any ticket. you could check out the free spots mentioned here ua-cam.com/video/vzXJpvoNVAg/v-deo.html for park or restaurant reservation, look out for establishments along the marina bay.
if you like fireworks, and i heard theres a drone show this year can check out the Marina Bay area. to enjoy for free, get a spot along the bay and hang out there through the night. else find a restaurant along the bay and dine there till late. the downside for both, the crowd's going to be big. The location is same as the one i mention here: ua-cam.com/video/vzXJpvoNVAg/v-deo.html
@@dashingheights Does it have something to do with the currency change or could I use a revolut bank account with Singapore dollars without having to pay that fee?
Hi love your video i want to ask i will fly to Singapore from Sydney next month and i will stay overnight in Singapore then next day fly from Singapore to ho chi minh city can i bring in box of cherry in carry on luggage or put the cherry on checked baggage if checked baggage will have cool room at the airport for checked baggage
SG does not have very strict biosecurity laws, your cherry is definitely fine in Singapore in carry on / check in. OUT of SG also should be fine in either carry on / check in. However im not familiar with Vietnam's laws. Checked baggage does not have cooling room.
@ so when i fly from Sydney to Singapore I will stay overnight in Singapore if i put the box of cherry in the checked baggage when i arrive in Singapore do there have at Changi Airport have a cool area to keep the bx cherry fresh
@ so it should be fine if i put the box of cherry in my carry on baggage and when i leave Singapore i go through the security check before boarding gate it will be no issue right?
@@anthonynguyen8447 no, there isnt any place with temperature control to store your things in the airport. you'll need to find an accommodation with a fridge. yeah food items like cherry can go through Singapore customs in your carry on
Major attractions in SG are wheelchair friendly so getting one could be a great help to explore the city. Otherwise I recommend planning your itinerary around the same area each day to minimise the need to move around. For example, sightseeing around Marina Bay / GBTB can be a day activity. GBTB is very thoughtful with many seating area along the route
I am travelling alone and kind of worried that I might get lost or not having enough things to do and bored in SG. I am starting to feel travelling overehelming and stressful instead of excitement and pleasure. Perhaps its because I am travelling alone😢😢😢
SG might be the easiest country to solo travel in! I have many video guides that might be helpful to you. I recommend listing down the attractions that excites you, look at the best locations to stay, learn how to get around the city. After some simple research you’ll find out that SG is a very easy and forgiving destination ^^
for trips longer than 1.5 hours and involving >2 transfers it does get wonky. Other than that most of the time it works fine for me, so I still recommend it :)

Do you have some recommended must see for senior tourists? 😅
HMM i would imagine Madame Tussaud in Sentosa would be of interest for seniors, because there are many classic characters that might be nicely nostalgic for seniors :)
I also recommend Bird Paradise, their OPEN-AIR aviary is very unique, i imagine seniors would love to experience meeting birds in person than through cages!
Thank you so much ❤

Great video! What is the meaning of the dotted lines on the MRT maps? We’ll be in Singapore the beginning of April. 😍
The dotted lines denotes the line is under construction and not yet operational

How was your visit to Singapore?
Please do you assist travelers in planning and traveling to Singapore?
Heya feel free to email me to discuss how I can help you ^^
@dashingheights please what's your email?
do you have any suggestions for celebrating nye in singapore?
if you like fireworks, and i heard theres a drone show this year
can check out the Marina Bay area.
to enjoy for free, get a spot along the bay and hang out there through the night.
else find a restaurant along the bay and dine there till late.
the downside for both, the crowd's going to be big.
The location is same as the one i mention here: ua-cam.com/video/vzXJpvoNVAg/v-deo.html
Is cash accepted is most places/food stalls/Tourist attractions?
Yes! Just that some attractions only accept online ticketing. Those that has ticketing booth are usually long queue…
How is the weather end of January and February end?
Does it rain
Jan is more rainy & cooling, Feb not as rainy
I am coming on January 14th. I am staying in Little India. Is that a good location to stay?
it's not bad, i mentioned the advantages at 12:57
