You can try couchsurfing site. There is a forum and meet-ups there as well. You should be able to find some friendly Singaporeans who are happy to show you around a different non-touristy sight of Singapore.julieciccone wrote:I am visiting Singapore for the first time later this month, possible relocation. Hiring a guide for tour of the city from expat standpoint to see residential areas, market/super, coffee/tea shop, park to run, where is the closest MRT station, etc. Should I hire for 1 day 8 hours, 2 days 8 hours?
Looking for insight on what I need to know if I were to move.
Thank you.

Cartus helped me with relocation as well. I had extremely polite and courteous staff. They were handling my shipping and logistics as I was given a certain amount of money to spend to bring things over from home.Dert42 wrote:My company had a relocation agent show us around when we came for our visit.
She wasn't at all in league with anyone. She was very much on our side and even yelled at our housing agent for us.
She was very helpful and showed us around markets, and around different sections of town etc. We had the choice between 2 condos, and flat out asked her which one we should pick, and were we paying too much etc. She very firmly told us it was our decision. She definitely wasn't in anyone's pocket.
The company was Cartus. I have no idea if you as an individual can engage them though. They may only do contracts with companies for relocation assistance.
It's one thing to read about all the different topics you need to learn about. And this board is pretty good for that. I personally thing it's nice to have someone knowledgable and understanding show you.
