Which travel agency in Singapore offers the best-value tour packages in 2026: what Chan Brothers, Dynasty Travel, EU Holidays and Nam Ho Travel are known for, how to check an agency's STB licence, how to compare a package with booking it yourself. Online, you go through ShopBack Singapore before you book.

Established names include Chan Brothers Travel, Dynasty Travel, EU Holidays and Nam Ho Travel, and the best value depends on your destination, what the package includes and how you like to travel. Compare the same itinerary across two or three licensed agencies, then price the same trip yourself online through ShopBack before you pay a deposit.

Travel agencies in Singapore: the facts to know first
Every local travel agency that sells tours or travel arrangements in Singapore needs a licence from the Singapore Tourism Board. According to STB, under the Travel Agents Act 1975, local companies or persons in the business of making travel arrangements or conducting tours, whether in Singapore or abroad, must hold a valid Travel Agent Licence. Operating as a travel agent without one is an offence under the Act.
Two practical points follow from STB's rules:
- Check the licence number. Many agencies show it on their website. Dynasty Travel, for example, lists its TA licence number in its site footer.
- Overseas sellers can be different. STB notes that an overseas travel agent selling a package outside Singapore, with payment made abroad, does not need a Singapore Travel Agent Licence. If you book with an overseas company, read its terms carefully.
Which travel agency in Singapore offers the best-value tour packages?
The best-value agency is the one whose package, for your destination and dates, costs the least per person once you count everything that is included. Here is what four well-known Singapore agencies say about themselves on their own websites, at the time of writing:
| Agency | What it says it is known for | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Chan Brothers Travel | More than 60 years in business, a wide choice of destinations, and describes itself as the largest and most established travel agency and tour operator in Singapore | Chan Brothers website |
| Dynasty Travel | Designing travel experiences around the world since 1978, with group tours and bespoke trips | Dynasty Travel website |
| EU Holidays | Founded in late 2010 and focused on Europe, describing itself as Singapore's leading European travel specialist | EU Holidays website |
| Nam Ho Travel | Pre-NATAS specials, private previews and in-house travel fairs for its customers | Nam Ho Travel website |
Each has strengths. A large agency usually runs many departures, so you have more dates to choose from. A specialist such as EU Holidays focuses on one region. The only way to know who is cheapest for your trip is to compare the same itinerary side by side.
At the time of writing, Chan Brothers Travel, Dynasty Travel and Nam Ho Travel are not on ShopBack Singapore, so compare their package prices directly on their own sites or at their branches.
Chan Brothers vs Dynasty Travel: how to compare package prices in 2026
To compare Chan Brothers and Dynasty Travel fairly, pick one destination and line up the same number of days, the same hotel standard and the same inclusions. Package prices can look far apart because one includes things the other lists separately.
Use this checklist for each quote:
- Flights: which airline, whether the fare includes checked baggage, and whether airport taxes and fuel surcharges are in the headline price.
- Hotels: star rating, location and room type. A cheaper package may use hotels further from the city centre.
- Meals: how many breakfasts, lunches and dinners are included.
- Sightseeing: which entrance tickets are included, and which are optional tours you pay for on the trip.
- Tour leader and guides: whether a tour leader travels with you from Singapore, and whether tips for guides and drivers are included.
- Single supplement: if you travel alone, the supplement can change which agency is cheaper.
- Deposit and cancellation: how much you pay upfront and what you lose if your plans change.
Work out the total per person for each quote, including tips and optional tours you would actually take. That number, not the headline price, tells you which package is the better deal.
Travel agency Singapore best deals in 2026
Package deals in Singapore cluster around travel fairs and early booking, so plan around them if your dates are flexible.
- Travel fairs. The NATAS travel fairs are a long-running fixture for package shopping in Singapore, and some agencies run their own fairs. Nam Ho Travel, for example, says on its website that it offers pre-NATAS specials and in-house travel fairs with exclusive discounts for its customers.
- Compare fair prices with the website. A fair price is only a deal if it beats the same tour at other times. Note the tour code and check it on the agency's website.
- Book school holiday trips early. Departures in June and December school holidays are popular with families, so choice tends to narrow as dates approach.
- Ask about payment terms. Check the deposit, the date the balance is due and the cancellation charges before you sign up.
Group tour or book it yourself: which is better value?
A group tour is often good value for long-haul or complex trips, while booking flights and hotels yourself is often cheaper for short city breaks.
| Trip type | Often better value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Long-haul multi-city, such as Europe or Turkey | Group tour | Coaches, guides, entry tickets and hotels across many cities are bundled |
| Short city break, such as Bangkok, Tokyo or Bali | Booking it yourself | Flights and hotels are easy to book online, and you choose your own pace |
| First trip to a destination with a language barrier | Group tour or a free-and-easy package | Transfers and planning are handled for you |
| Family trip with fixed school-holiday dates | Compare both | Early online bookings can match or beat a package |
Our guide on whether Europe tour packages are worth it versus booking yourself goes deeper on long-haul trips.
Online alternatives to a travel agency tour package
If you prefer to put a trip together yourself, online travel sites sell packages and tours that you can book through ShopBack.
- Trip.com sells flight and hotel packages on its Singapore site, and you can compare them with booking the flight and hotel separately. Open the Trip.com page on ShopBack first.
- Klook sells day tours, attraction tickets and transfers in many destinations, which fills the gaps a group tour would usually cover. Start from the Klook page on ShopBack.

Other sites in the same category include Agoda, Booking.com, Expedia and Traveloka for hotels and flights.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book online
Going through ShopBack gets you a cash rebate on the same order, at the same store. Open ShopBack Singapore, tap the store and complete the booking, and the cash comes back to your ShopBack account once the booking is confirmed.
Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.
Rates change and differ by store, so check the live Cashback rate on the Trip.com, Klook and Luxury Escapes pages on ShopBack before you book.
Can I use promo codes or card deals with ShopBack?
Promo codes come from the store itself. No code is needed for Cashback: go through ShopBack before you pay. If your card gives its own rewards on travel spend, those are set by your bank and may apply separately, so check your card's terms.
FAQ

It depends on the itinerary. Chan Brothers Travel says it has served travellers for more than 60 years and offers a wide range of destinations, while Dynasty Travel says it has designed travel experiences since 1978 and highlights group tours and bespoke trips. Compare the same destination, number of days, hotels, meals and inclusions side by side, then decide on the total cost per person.
Are group tours cheaper than booking a trip myself?

When are the best travel agency deals in Singapore?

Compare fair prices with the same tour on the agency's website before you commit.
What should a tour package price include?
Check whether the price covers return flights, airport taxes and fuel surcharges, hotels and room type, meals, entrance tickets, coach transfers, a tour leader, and tips for guides and drivers. Also check single supplements, optional tours and the cancellation policy, since these change the real cost.
Can I book a flight and hotel package online instead of a tour?
