Free Singapore Tour returns after 3-year hiatus

Participants can book the tour in advance through the Changi Airport website.

The Free Singapore Tour returned in April with a new Changi Precinct Tour after three years of hiatus.

The tour, organised by the Changi Airport Group, Singapore Airlines, and the Singapore Tourism Board, will add the new Changi Precinct Tour to its three pre-existing tours -- the City Sights Tour, the Heritage Tour, and the Jewel Tour.

The Changi Precinct Tour brings transit and transfer passengers to the eastern part of Singapore to visit local community spaces, such as the Tampines, the Changi Village, and the Changi Beach, and gives them a glimpse of how residents live away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

The relaunched Free Singapore Tour also included new points of interest to its three pre-existing tours.

Participants can visit the Shiseido Forest Valley, the HSBC Rain Vortex, and the Changi Experience Studio in the Jewel Tour; the Civil District, the National Gallery Singapore, the Anderson Bridge, the Padang, and the Gardens by the Bay in the City Sights Tour; and the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the Arab Street, and the Haji Lane in the Heritage Tour.

Each tour will last 2.5 hours and be available daily, with plans to progressively increase to nine daily trips.

Transit and transfer passengers who wish to join can book the tour in advance through the Changi Airport website and must have a layover period of at least 5.5 hours but less than 24 hours.
