In the style of most Global Escapes Independent Traveler itineraries, this is a perfect blend of self-guided adventure and forward-planning to ensure that the main elements are organised in advance allowing for plenty of time to relax and take in each place you visit.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price and/or value by a minimum of 15%. Conditions.
We guarantee to beat any competitor accommodation-only quote or travel package price or value by a minimum of 15% ("price-beat") on the following conditions:
Note: By requesting a price-beat you are under no obligation to place a booking with us or proceed with the final travel package as the case may be. A non-refundable deposit is required in the case of a tour/travel package price-beat (see below).
The following terms and conditions apply to travel plans and accommodation quotes requested from and supplied by Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. trading as Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club (Australian Escapes) and Kiwi Escapes (the company) and are subject to change without notice. These conditions are to be read in conjunction with our standard booking conditions and conditions applicable to Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership as defined in website FAQs.
There are two main scenarios:
(1) You request a price-beat on a specific property. Our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions, provided we have access to be able to book the accommodation through our normal supplier channels.
If we do not have access to member rates that property we will offer an alternative that is of the same or higher standard, as per our hotel rating system and that meets the stated requirements, subject to availability, and subject to the following:
(2) We propose a property with member pricing: If the "you pay" price we submit is already discounted using GCash travel credits and the lowest available price at the time it was submitted, it does not qualify. Otherwise our objective is to provide at least 15% more total value or a price that is 15% lower than a competitor quote supplied to us for the same accommodation property, on the same conditions and with the same inclusions.
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the applicable objective is achieved.
Inclusions in travel and tour packages assembled by competitor travel agents, tour companies, wholesalers, online travel promoters will all be different in some way. Packages will typically vary by inclusions, validity, suppliers, component type, standard, terms and conditions, travel date, etc ("package components").
Our objective in this type of price-beat situation is to assemble a package containing similar and/or higher value package components to that which you present to us. We guarantee to offer at least 15% more total value (through added value) or a price that is 15% lower than the competitor quote ("successful price-beat") subject to the following:
A price-beat will be deemed successful and this guarantee is therefore met when the above objective is achieved.
The price-beat must be requested before you place a booking with any other travel agent, online booking agent or property direct in relation to the subject accommodation or package.
A price-beat may be requested by providing clear, written evidence of the competitor quote as well as your requirements to an employee of the company who performs a reservations or travel consultant role ("company contact") as follows:
A competitor quote presented under this guarantee must be genuine (not contrived) and must be a final, fixed price, backed by verifiable evidence. A competitor quote that we determine is not genuine or final is excluded. The requested date range(s) for travel/tour commencement as well as for individual package components must be realistic and flexible.
This condition applies to travel/tour packages only. We require up to $900 deposit per person (amount depending on package complexity) as a guarantee that you will proceed with the travel plan after we are successful with the price/value beat. This requirement exists because of the amount of travel consultant time required to price according to a competitor quote.
Your Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club membership must be Gold level or above and active and paid up at the time of requesting the price beat.

Embark on an epic 5-day journey to discover the wonders of Singapore! Start with an exciting flight to the Lion City, where you'll be whisked away to one of the city's top-notch hotels for a luxurious 4-night stay. Dive into the lush paradise of Gardens by the Bay, marveling at its iconic Supertrees and vibrant flora. Then, tantalize your taste buds on a thrilling food tour, exploring hidden culinary gems and savoring Singapore's delectable cuisine. Get ready for an adventure-packed getaway filled with unforgettable experiences!
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it." - Cesare Pavese
Touch down at Changi Airport where you will enjoy a private transfer to your accommodation. Check into your room and unwind. The rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure, whether to relax from your flight or to explore the Lion City on your own. If you’d like to stretch your legs, we recommend taking a walk across the Helix Bridge located in Marina Bay, where you can take in Singapore’s iconic skyline and see its futuristic architecture such as the lotus-shaped Art Science Museum and the fantastically-lit super trees and glass domes of the Gardens by the Bay.
Today is devoted to self-exploring the diverse cultural enclaves of Singapore’s three dominant ethnic groups, and discover their delicious eats along the way. First, take a taxi to Little India, a small but vibrant neighborhood. Walk along the narrow lanes of the community and its colorful buildings, passing Hindu temples, sweets shops, a heritage center, and aromatic restaurants. Make your way to Tekka Market, a one-stop shop for locals to buy groceries, do shopping, and dine at the food court. Here you can try the local preferred breakfast of roti canai, layered flatbread, dipped in curry.
Next is Chinatown, where you can nibble and taste your way through a variety of restaurants, stalls, and shops. Top it off with a local favorite dessert, chendol: a refreshing mix of tapioca, fruits, milk, and ice.
Finally, explore the quiet Malay heritage district of Kampong Glam. Admire the golden dome of the Sultan Mosque and an outdoor art gallery of street art and wall murals, as well as the Indie-chic shopping street called Haji Lane. You will also see the art of making teh tarik, pulled tea, in action - and if you're lucky, you will get the opportunity to try your hand as well.
Note: A comprehensive guided food tour is available to take today if you do not wish to explore by yourself.
Embark on a self-guided cultural journey to learn about the Peranakan community in Singapore, in the Joo Chiat and Katong neighborhoods. Peranakan is a unique hybridization of ancient Chinese culture with the local cultures of the Straits area, a result of centuries-long interracial marriage and converging cultures. Visit the Peranakan Museum, snap pictures of the colorful shophouses, and sample some Nyonya delicacies with tea. While in the neighborhood, have lunch at a famous Peranakan restaurant known for their laksa, a seafood noodle soup.
Return to your hotel in the afternoon to rest and prepare for this evening’s supper tour through Geylang neighborhood. Supper is Singapore’s unofficial fourth meal of the day, eaten during late-night hours. Sample late night street food favorites such as rice noodles, dim sum, and fruits, while also enjoying the glittering neon atmosphere of this neighborhood that comes alive at night.
Get off the beaten path and discover a truly local neighborhood not often seen by visitors. Slow it down and take in the morning with a little known hobby that transcended the kampong (village) era: bird singing.
The older generation here still gather at designated parks with their beloved feathered friends in the mornings to bask in company and melodious chirps. Stop by an authentic ‘kopitiam,’ for coffee and kaya toast with soft boiled egg like a true local. You canalso stop by the local wet market and a hawker center to observe the quotidian and enjoy some treats as well. Then, take a boat ride to the small nearby island of Pulau Ubin where you can visit an aquaculture farm. Here you can fish for your own lunch which will be cooked and served up at a seafood restaurant by the docks. Enjoy one of the most famous Singaporean dishes, ‘chili crab.’
On your final night in Singapore, head out for some fun out on the town. Go bar-hopping to some of the city’s best, and hidden, bars. Learn how to shake - or stir - up a bespoke cocktails in a masterclass with a gin expert mixologist.
Today concludes your whirlwind trip across Singapore and deep dive into its diverse cultures and cuisines. Take the morning slowly with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and time to relax before returning to the airport for your flight onward.
