My husband and I had a wonderful experience last night thanks to our tour guide, Ray. Ray was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time!!!
Nigel was a hoot. Great laugh and lots of fun. We toured with him through Singapore to get an intro to the city and followed up with a food tour to hawker stalls. Enjoyed the food and the conversation.
Nigel, aka Chubby Checker, gave us an amazing night tour of Singapore. The tour was entertaining, enlightening, and educational. A very unique walking tour that took us to the historical Lau Pa Sat for a genuine hawker experience, a scenic walk to the bay at night when the city is beautifully lit up, to a bar beside the river in their civic district for some drinks and live music, and lastly to a hidden speakeasy bar for some night cap. This is definitely one experience that should not be missed.
Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure for us to host you for this multi-faceted night tour and we are glad you love the experience. Best wishes to you and your family!
Understand that this is really more a tour about having a drink in a few different bars without the guide being present than it is about being on a normal food tour. Positives: Nigel our guide was lovely and engaging. We learned some things about Singapore in the limited time he spent with us. Negatives: Food wise, we sampled satay sticks with some rice from one vendor only. They were nice but I've not been on a food orientated tour before with only one food stop? Also, they are cheap: we bought some at a hawker market the next day for very little cost. Also, the allowance within our tour cost for drinks was $15 at each venue, but almost no alcoholic drink was within that price, so be prepared to pay more like $22 for a gin and tonic, so you pay the extra $7. Nigel left us to our own devices in each bar for 30 minutes or so which at one level was fine as we were a family group and there were no other participants. On the other hand, we learned nothing at all about Singapore during the time we had at each bar so there was no value add from the tour for a fair chunk of our time together: we could have walked into any bar ourselves and had that experience. Summary: While enjoyable, this was poor value for money and I couldn't recommend it. On a previous visit I experienced a more typical food tour that was much better than this one because of the food options.
Thanks for the feedback, Lara. We have taken your feedback seriously and it is not our policy for our guides to leave guests at the bar on their own without first giving some information about the bars and why they are unique. We have checked with your guide, Nigel, and apparently the bars that night only had tables that accommodate a maximum of 4 persons, which would fit your travelling party just right. Furthermore, the first bar had a live band playing, and while it is great entertainment, it would be quite loud to talk at the table among your travelling party, more so with the guide. We would remind our guides to stay with guests in the second bar, provided there is a suitable seating arrangement. Last but not least, this tour is not a food tour per se, but it is a holistic tour of night views, food and drinks around the Marina Bay area that provide guests with a myriad of evening experiences. Furthermore, the bars we bring you to, do not have as many tourists as locals and so not many visitors to Singapore would know about them. We offer another tour specifically for local food tastings that there would much more food in that tour. Therefore, it seems this may be a mismatch of expectations, although it is very rare due to the tour description already providing an overview of it all. We understand your frustration but hopefully this gives you a better idea of the tour. We apologise if there is anything we fall short on, and we will remind our guides regarding this matter so we can continually improve. Thank you!
Our tour guide, Nigel was great! He was educational and friendly. I recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Singapore.
Thanks for the review, Joycelyn! We are glad you have enjoyed the tour and we look forward to seeing you back in Singapore again!
Great tour guide . Super informative and wonderful sight seeing. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys live music too!! The first stop is a venue that plays local bands.
Thanks for the review, Athena! It was a pleasure to host you for the experience. Best wishes to you and Monique!
Nigel our guide was friendly and very experienced in taking us around to all the sites. I would highly recommend this tour! Loved the satay sticks too.
Thanks for the review, Christine! It has been a pleasure for us to host you for the tour. We are glad to know you enjoyed the evening. Best wishes to you!
Great experience to visit local hotspots, beautiful views of the city at night, good food, drinks, & music. We had the hotel pick up/drop off option but wished we didn’t so we could stay at the last bar longer.
Thanks for the review! We are delighted you have enjoyed the evening out with this tour! Best wishes to you and your family!
Ian was my guide for the night. It was a great! He met me at my hotel, and we proceeded to the downtown food market. He so much knowledge of the local history, which he shared easily throughout the evening. After the satay tasting at the market, we proceeded on a walk down to the water front near the Merlion with gorgeous city views and then over to a bar over on the river with a great band. The evening ended with a trip to a local speak easy bar-so unique. Though I worried about being solo on this adventure, Ian made it a great experience, sharing he vast knowledge of the area while making it feel like meeting a friend in Singapore! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review, Diane! It was our pleasure to have made your evening enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Singapore again!
We loved this tour and Angela our tour guide was an absolute wealth of knowledge about Singapore, its history, where to eat and everything to see and do. Satay Street was great along with the food market and both bars were such great choices and places we would have never found in our own. Walking around the Marina Bay Area with Angela with all its spectacular sights and light displays was an experience I’ll always remember.
Thanks for the review, Courtney! Our team is glad that you have enjoyed the night tour. We hope to welcome you back to Singapore in future!
