Hi @Gemini,
Give me an itinerary for 1 week.
Okay, I can help you with that! To give you the best itinerary, I need a little more information. Tell me:
What are your interests? Do you prefer history, food, nature, shopping, nightlife, art, or something else?
What’s your budget like? Are you looking for luxury experiences, budget-friendly options, or something in between?
Are you traveling solo, with a partner, friends, or family? This will affect the type of activities and transportation we consider.
What time of year are you planning to visit? Singapore’s weather can vary, so this will help us choose the best activities.
Once you give me this information, I can create a perfect 1-week itinerary for you!
