Blend of Eastern Cultures
The Singapore Flyer – Asia’s version of the London Eye – presents enthralling views. From here you can see Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. But for an inspiring blend of eastern cultures, outrageous architecture, fabulous shopping and irresistible cuisine you need look no further than the city itself.
Super-clean, super-energetic and super-interesting is Singapore’s reputation. It’s also a superb way to introduce yourself to the various cultures, the food and teeming population of the Far East.
But talk to one of our experienced consultants on Singapore, and you may decide to turn your stop-over into a mini-holiday. So you have more time to explore Malay, Indian and Chinese ethnicity in Little India, Chinatown and Kampong Glamby – and go shopping. Singapore has busy malls like Tao Payoh, grand streets like Orchard Road, Arab Street and Bali Lane, plus tiny alleyways like Haji Lane, crammed with boutiques.
With a little more time at your disposal you can sample the wonderful local street food in places like Tiong Bahru. You can wonder at the world’s largest orchid display in the Botanic Gardens. Or wander through the 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay, in the heart of Singapore’s business district. Or go on a night safari by tram, to see over 900 nocturnal animals. You could also take a casual stroll along the Singapore River from Marina Bay to Robertson’s Quay and discover a parade of world class restaurants. Or immerse yourself in Singapore’s famously high-energy nightlife.

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
