"So where are you planning to go for your year-end holiday?"
That's a common question we get especially as the year draws to a close. Year-end holidays are what many Singaporeans look forward to. We welcome the opportunity to go for a longer trip to recharge from work, and bond with friends or family.
But longer trips require a bit more planning and we normally want to pick some interesting experiences as trip highlights. One of the easy ways to discover and book experiences is by using websites like Klook.com.
Klook is now having a year end sale where they are offering S$50+S$50 off your next holiday. How does it work?
1. Key in the promo code YES100.
2. Get S$50 off for a min S$450 spend.
3. Get a code via email for another S$50 that can be used with the next S$300 spent.
That's an easy $100 off. Let's use a real example.
For me, I love Japan, and I've always been more fascinated with the historical side than the modern. Nothing embodies old Japan like its former capital Kyoto with its resplendent temples, well-preserved wooden architecture, Zen gardens, tea ceremonies, bamboo groves that feel magical, and geisha in full dress. These are just some of the things that I admire about the Japanese and their finely honed philosophy, dedication to craftsmanship and admirable spirit.
Kyoto is not just a great cultural city, it has awesome food and convenient public transportation. The city centre is extremely walkable with plenty of attractions to explore. But it's worth going farther - the Fushimi Inari Shrine and its signature vermillion torii gates is a day hike you'll never forget.
For my family of four, I've picked a day trip, a cooking course and the essentials for Internet connectivity and transport for a six day trip.
Kyoto Nanzen-ji, Fushimi Inari-taisha & Sagano Romantic Train Day Tour

Child S$100 x 2 = S$200

You can also get JR passes if you wish to travel beyond Kyoto and its immediate surroundings. KLOOK has other popular destinations like Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, Nagoya (there's a new LEGOland there!), Fukuoka, Kumamoto and even Okinawa.
Elsewhere, you have major cities in Europe (including Reykjavik!), United States, Australia, Middle East and Asia (fancy food tours in Yangon?). So take a look and see if there's something that piques your interest. You might find a few activities you never knew were possible.
