India via Singapore
 
We are flying on Singapore Airlines to Delhi and have 6 hours layover during the day in Singapore. Anyone know if we can leave the airport and, if so, would it be possible to hire a quick city tour?

You can sign up for a **free** city tour at the airport.

cjstobbs Oct 30th, 2006 01:17 PM

Oh, you're kidding. Wow. By "free" do you know how much "free" is?

Kathie Oct 30th, 2006 01:31 PM

No, it really is free! You could also just take a taxi somewhere if you knew where you wanted to go. But they really do have free city tours. They hope you will want to come back to Singapore.

Yes, if you have more than 5 hours in layover time,you can get a free Singapore tour. You register at the Singapore Visitor's Centre located in the transit Mall. Hope this has helped. Happy travels!

I forgot to add that the tour is for 2 hours. Happy Travels!

i saw a long q for this free tour a couple of weeks ago, so go to the counter as soon as you get there.

There is also a nice outdoor pool and bar. If you're completely wiped out and don't care to do the tour there are also hotels inside the terminals. I think the rates were under $50 a couple of years ago. Really helps when you're on a 30+ hour marathon flight to India.
