Private Singapore Sightseeing Tour with Singapore River Cruise

The view from the river of the old warehouses and homes (well restored) in front of the towering skyscrapers is worth the trip alone.

We could not hear the driver. His commentaries about the sights are also limited as he needs to focus on driving. We felt that a separate tour guide with a microphone would have been better

The boat ride was very nice. It started raining a little but inside the boat was quite dry. Our driver was amazing! She made the trip really enjoyable for us.

Excellent and comfortable way to visit a humid/hot city for elderly people. Driver was helpful and flexible but offered very little comments for the sites visited.

Our guide gave us the best introduction to this beautiful and interesting city with its mixture of old alongside the new steeped in so many different cultures. A perfect tour for my mother who is in her eighties as less walking needed in the humidity. We were made to feel very special. The company was always highly professional and kept us informed throughout.

Very disappointed with the overall experience. Driver was nice and showed up on time but then we wasted a lot of time trying to transfer the River cruise tickets to one of our phones which never worked. We show up for the 11 cruise but it’s full, told to come back at 1:00 so we did the city tour 1st. Had to rush the last part of that - literally drove by China Town so fast you couldn’t get a picture. Show up a little before 1 & are told that it’s sold out so come back at 2. So we had an hour to waste. Again, not a smooth experience. The van was a nice ride and we did enjoy the sights we saw but not worth the money- should have done the hop on hop off!

The driver was friendly. Our 4-hour tour began at 4pm. He picked us up promptly at 4pm at our hotel. We took a 10 minute drive to get to a Singapore River Cruise which we found out began at 5pm, so we lost almost an hour of our 4-hour tour waiting at the boat dock. The boatmen were pleasant and the narration on the boat was informative. The Viator agent who helped me with the booking assured me that we would see the lights on the river on our cruise, but that did not happen. Apparently you can't see the light show from that portion of the river. And we were on the river way too early to see the light show anyway. Once off the boat, our tour driver was waiting for us. We didn't know much of what we wanted to see and so were a little disappointed that he didn't have better suggestions of where he should take us. We thought, when we booked, that there was an itinerary. Our driver was difficult to understand. He definitely tried to make himself clear. We give him credit for his effort.

This wasn’t the cheapest, nor the most expensive, half-day Singapore trip, but our driver and guide Abrahim made it more than worth it

We had a great time seeing the different neighborhoods and some beautiful temples around Singapore. We learned about the history and independence. The tour guide was great and very flexible with what we wanted to see. The river boat was a fantastic way to see the Marina Bay Area as well. Overall a great experience in a 4 hour window.

This wasn’t the cheapest, nor the most expensive, half-day Singapore trip, but our driver and guide Abrahim made it more than worth it. We told him what we wanted to see, and he efficiently got us to each stop throughout our customized tour, often adding on interesting short stops along our route. He pointed out interesting landmarks, and answered our many questions, and was so open and knowledgeable about Singapore. Getting around (and parking) in Singapore would definitely be no “cake-walk” for a newcomer to the island, but Abrahim knows it like the back of his hand, and makes the most of your limited time.
