Wonderful video! Thank you for this, it’s been so useful for me to plan my next family trip with Singapore layover.

Hello, Thank you for your review. I have a 6-hour layover, from 7:00 to 13:00. I see that the tour starts at 9:00-11:30. I want to ask a question: Can I be present at the airport at 11:30 for a check-in to the next flight at 13:00?

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@phambadatielts, firstly, you will need a Singapore visa in order for you to join the tour because you will be actually entering Singapore and exiting Changi airport. You may check here: www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart/entering-singapore/visa_requirements Then, you will need to check if your flight transit hours (arrival and departing time) meet the requirement for this tour.

Hi Zacc, I have a layover at 6hrs55 (7 am to 13h50) I want to get a City sights tour (10 am - 12:30 pm) but on the website, they say that “your flight departure time is after 14:30” but my flight departure is 13:50. Can I book City Sights Tour?

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@jessicasalomon1998, it means that your flight departure time would need to be after 14:30 in order to meet the requirement for this tour. In this case, your transit time does not meet the requirement and you are not eligible for the tour. The transit time of your flight is important and it need to meet the requirement of each tour. You may check the timing of other tours and see.

[@himanigoyal1729]

Hi, any updates on your question? I am planning to travel to Bali via Singapore in December.

[@THELONETRAVELER]

@@himanigoyal1729 Yes, you would need a transit visa to leave Singapore Changi Airport for the free city tour, as Indian citizens are required to have a visa to enter Singapore. The Singapore city tour, though free, requires that you clear immigration, which necessitates a visa for Indian passport holders. You should apply for a Singapore transit visa in advance if you wish to take part in the tour during your layover.

Hi. We are having a 16hr layover in SG from 9am. If we take the guided tour for 2.5hr and the guide insists to go back to the airport, can we get out again. Or transit exit is a one time thing?

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@user-hj2zt9ri6t, for transit passengers, one can only exit the Changi Airport once. You may inform the guide that you wish to go elsewhere (example: visit the Jewel), the guide will drop you off to the nearby Terminal.

[@cacayboydcb]

Hi Zacc. We have a 24 hour lay over. We are even staying in a hotel in the airport. From my understanding, if you step out of the airport, that's when you have to go to immigration. How about if you just want to go to Jewel, do you still have to go to immigration? My other question, the complimentary ride to the city from the airport, do they offer complimentary ride from city back to the airport? We thought of going to the city at night, because we want to experience Singapore street food at night. Do they have specific time range for the complimentary shuttles to the city and back? We did this in Korea on one of lay overs there. Unfortunately, it was snowing. We couldn't enjoy walking around.

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@cacayboydcb, yes, you are right. When you step out of the airport, one will need to get the immigration clearance (this include Jewel because it is outside of the Immigration). Yes, the city tour include the complimentary ride back to the airport. For the timing of the tour, you may check here: playpass.changiairport.com/fst/#/citysightstour Not joining the tour back to the airport will depend on the tour guide. Some maybe nice but some may follow the guideline to ask you to follow back to the airport. You may need a little luck.

[@darnlarz18]

Hi, Zacc. I love your video; it's really informative. I have two questions. First, did you have to pay anything when passing through immigration for a visa? Secondly, did you have to pay anything during the tour, for example, when you went inside Marina Bay by the Sands? Did you pay for the entrance? Thank you.

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@darnlarz18, no, I didn't pay for anything for this tour. you will need a Singapore visa in order for you to join the tour because you will be actually entering Singapore and exiting Changi airport. You may check here: www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart/entering-singapore/visa_requirements For this tour, all the entrance fee are taken care and participants do not need to pay. However, at the Gardens by the Bay, there are sections which require separate fee, those are not included in this tour. Just keep in mind that this tour is actually sponsored by Changi Airport, Singapore Tourism Board and Singapore Airlines if I am not mistaken.

Hi! I was just wanting to ask a question. I have a layover of 7.5 hours and would be eligible to go on the 6:00pm-8:30pm heritage tour. it says that the tour is 2.5 hours long, so say if it finishes at 8:30pm, do you get back to the airport at 8:30pm? In order to be able to attend the tour my flight must be leaving after 10:30pm. My flight leaves at 10:45pm so I am worried that if it takes a while to get back and through customs etc after the tour that I will miss my flight. Sorry, I hope this makes sense!

[@zacctravelsofficial]

There's a loophole to this, so even though you're supposed to complete the tour, meaning you go back to the Airport with the group, there's an answer in the FAQ that "In the unlikely event that participants are separated from the tour group, the particpant has to make his or her own way back to the airport at his or her own cost.", so you still can. They said that they are very strict with the time so if you didn't make it back to the bus after the 30 mins given then the bus will leave without you and you'll have to ride public transpo to get back to the airport.

Hi Zacc, while touring, can you take your carry on luggage with you in the bus? Or you need to store your carry-on luggage at the airport? Do i have to pay additional for that ?

[@zacctravelsofficial]

@TawfiqHasan91, the tour guide may ask you to put your carry-on luggage to the Baggage Storage available in T2/T3. Yes, there is a small fee depending on the size for the baggage storage. Cause during the tour, the carry-on luggage are not allowed to keep in the bus, this means one got to carry it along the trip.

[@TawfiqHasan91]

@zacctravelsofficial Thanks Zacc? This is very helpful. I now can plan accordingly.
