Indie Guide to Singapore’s Best Kept Secrets

Insider Tips for Exploring Singapore Like a Local

About This Singapore Travel Insider Guide

Welcome to the Singapore Travel Insider Guide, curated by the team at Indie Singapore. Unlike generic travel blogs, this repository is built by licensed guides, from professional heritage researchers to the boots on the ground.

Why trust this guide?

Most “Insiders” spend 3 days in Singapore. We have spent our lives here. Our goal is to align with the UNESCO definition of Cultural Heritage —preserving the stories of the common man.

How to use this Singapore Travel Insider Guide

We have organized our research into three pillars to help you navigate the city:

  1. The Food Anthropology: Understanding the difference between a tourist trap and a heritage hawker.

  2. The Hidden History: Exploring the National Monuments and the secret societies that built them.

  3. The Survival Skills: How to beat the humidity, use the MRT, and speak basic Singlish.

If you enjoy reading this Singapore Travel Insider Guide, the best way to experience it is to join us on the streets. Check out our Free Walking Tours or eat like a local on our Food Adventures or pamper yourself with a Customized private tour
