Will it suit me/us ?

flexiGO is designed to suit anyone who is willing to explore the destination using public transport. This means a little bit of walking and indulging into main stream life. Anyone ranging from students, young groups, couples, middle-aged can fit in.

If you strongly dislike walking and prefer the comfort of a private vehicle to take you at the doorstep of each attraction, flexiGO superSAVER is not your cup of tea.  It may also be inconvenient for elderly, infants or young kids, disabled etc. but may still work out depending on how confident you are as a team.

How safe and reliable is Public Transport in Singapore?

Singapore is one of World’s safest and cleanest Cities, and greets you with the World’s most efficient, robust and user-friendly Public Transport network that consists of Metro trains, Low floor Buses, Light rail etc. 

It is also arguably the most wheel-chair/stroller/pram- friendly transport system available anywhere on Earth.

 

What if I/we get lost?

It is in fact difficult to get lost in Singapore so long as you/your party can speak and read any one among English, Tamil, Malay or Chinese. Tourist attractions are very well designed to be easily accessed and explored.

If you still manage to get hopelessly lost, just get into a Taxi and ask the driver to drop you at your hotel (We will give you a hotel address card upon arrival)

What makes flexiGO superSAVER different from regular packages ?

 

Regular

flexiGO superSAVER

Includes private transport (Bus/Van/Car) to some or all points in the confirmed itinerary. Experienced Tour guides may accompany the tour party.

You tour on your own using public transport (Metro, Light Rail, Low floor Bus etc.) based on guidance from SAFARION. This budget friendly option also gives flexibility.

The route, schedule and timing is fixed. You have no choice but to follow the tour boss.

You are the tour boss. You decide when to go where, how much time to spend in each location etc.  SAFARION will brief you on how to make the best out of your opted list.

Some regular packages may exclude tickets. You will then have to que up at counters and buy tickets at retail rate. Hotels are mostly  pre-arranged.

SAFARION hand delivers all tickets to you at best possible rates. You don’t have to waste time queuing up at ticket counters. You can book hotels with us or choose your own.

You don’t get to explore or experience the real City State of Singapore which exists outside the boundaries of attraction spots.

You get to appreciate the life, cultural diversity, amazing discipline and cleanliness of Singapore, both inside and outside attraction spots.

You can relax completely and just follow the tour guide

You need to lead and stay alert.  With SAFARION's expert briefing, this shouldn’t be a problem

What is superSAVER ?

This is a no-frills product which includes basic needs and avoids luxuries in order to give you a highly competitive pricing. For example, the basic price may be based on accommodation in Motels, Hostels or Backpacker inns with shared bathrooms and/or dormitories. We always ensure that our accommodation providers are safe, reliable, clean and provide value for money.

 

Will it suit me/us ?

superSAVER is meant for our tourist friends who are looking for highly competitive pricing and thus not expecting extreme levels of comfort or luxury. If you are okay to climb one or two fleet of stairs, stay in a 5 or 6 bunk shared room (as an example only). What drives you would be the passion and dynamism to go and explore places.

 

 

I would rather prefer a private attached room. Is that possible with superSAVER ?

Yes, you may upgrade to budget rooms or star hotels during the booking process and our consultant will advise you on the cost additions.
