Free Singapore City Tour For Transit Travellers At Changi Airport: Sentosa, Marina Bay And More

The Singapore Changi Airport is a destination in itself, offering world-class amenities and services within the airport. While there is no chance of feeling bored (even during a very long layover), if you wish to step out and experience the city, you can now do so for free with a guided tour. Changi Airport is offering four curated tour itineraries, each with sightseeing routes and two brief photo stops at iconic landmarks. For transit travellers with a minimum of 5.5 hours but less than 24 hours until their connecting flight, these 2.5-hour guided tours offer a snapshot of Singapore. What makes it even better - they are completely free of cost.
