This was a wonderful experience. Ray was the tour guide. Very nice person, spoke perfect English and took us to many places that we would never have found on our own. Dan was the driver- also, spoke perfect English, a great driver and made it a great tour for us. I highly recommend.
What an amazing excursion. Our guide was so informative and we learnt Singapore much about the history, culture and places we visited. The National Orchid Gardens were beautiful and well worth a visit. We would highly recommend this Tour. Thank you
Excellent time travelling around Singapore with limited time. Saw lot's of the must sees in the country and got tips on where else we should visit during our short stay. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Great overview of Singapore with our guide Ray and driver John. They picked us up at our hotel in a spacious and comfortable van. We toured the spectacular National Orchid Garden and then the Chinese Temple, Little India, which was fabulous, saw Marina Bay Sands and the Flyer and the Merlion. Ray gave us a knowledgeable history of Singapore and we learned quite a lot about the culture. Ray was very patient with our slow walking and was able to answer all of our questions about Singapore. He took some great photos of us as well. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent service, on time and our very knowledgeable tour guide Edwina made our tour very special and enjoyable. She took us to the best spots for photos and gave us a lot of insight about the history and culture. If you love orchids the garden is a must see.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver. Interesting stops for a short tour. Flowers were amazing.
Pickup at Cruise terminal was seamless and our tour guide Suurjiyt was amazing. We saw so many parts of Singapore. Orchard garden was so beautiful Suurjiyt was so welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly he really made the experience terrific. Only negative thing was the van had blacked out windows so it was difficult to see sights while driving. Driver is not your tour guide.
Thank you for the review! We have notified the transport provider regarding the windows. We are glad you enjoyed the tour!
