Suggestions:
If you join the afternoon tour , it will be quite a rush for shopping. In addition, with all your shopping you will still have to rush for the tour pick up.
Another way is to go on the open top bus in the morning instead.
This way you can do more sightseeing and still have ample time for shopping before the rush hour starts in the evening. You can simply return to the airport after, with all your shopping.
The journey around Singapore city on one of the open top buses is roughly around 45 minutes to one hour. The open top buses also go through major shopping areas.
How to get to the city: from Singapore changi airport take a taxi to suntec city. The journey takes around fifteen to twenty minutes. When you reach suntec city , take one of open top buses. A couple of open top bus operators run from within the area.
To go back to the airport in the evening, take taxi from the pan pacific hotel to the airport. It will be quicker from the pan pacific. The expressway to take you back to Changi airport is just five to ten minutes from the hotel.
