Singapore, topping Tokyo on the list, is now named as ” The World’s Costliest City” by Economist Intelligence Unit (EUI). Read full story here.
But nevertheless, if one would say all else is expensive in Singapore, I would disagree. You can still find great deals in the city, one of which can be found in Suntec City – Singapore Duck Tours.
Singapore Duck Tours offers 13 attractions in 1 package, for only S$79. As if paying for just the amount of 2 of their most popular themed attractions – the “Singapore Flyer” and “Singapore Duck Tours” itself. (valid for 48 hours)
Here are the highlights of this tour:
Singapore Flyer– Best during night time. Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest observation wheel and gives a 360 panoramic view of Singapore.

TIP:
When you avail of this package. Get full use of the free bus ride. In every station, buses arrive every 14 minutes, fast enough, the next thing you know, there’s another bus stopping in front of you, ready to take you to your next destination. Red-line, yellow-line and brown-line buses, they represent respective routes.
Transportation in Singapore is not cheap. Buses aren’t cheap, MRT isn’t cheap, cabs are definitely not a good choice if you are conscious about your budget. Take a copy of Duck Tours bus schedule, ask the front-liners about it. You can use it for 2 days, most of the tour sites are along these buses’ route.
