Pass by

Gardens by the Bay is a modern marvel and a true highlight of Singapore, offering a unique blend of nature and futuristic design. You can wander through the stunning Supertree Grove, where towering vertical gardens collect rainwater and harness solar energy. For a small fee, you can walk along the OCBC Skyway to get a bird's-eye view of the park. Inside the spectacular cooled conservatories, you can explore the Cloud Forest, with its lush mountain and a stunning 35-meter waterfall, and the Flower Dome, which showcases diverse plants from different climates.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a peaceful and old garden that is a special place in Singapore. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The best part is the National Orchid Garden, where you can see the world's biggest collection of beautiful orchids. You can also walk around other small gardens, like one for plants used as medicine. It is a great place to relax and enjoy nature away from the busy city.

Pass by

Mount Faber Peak is a quiet hill that gives you amazing views of Singapore. It is a great place to go if you want to see the city from up high. From the top, you can look out at the tall buildings, the busy harbor with all the ships, and the small islands in the sea. It's a perfect spot to take photos. You can also take the cable car from here to Sentosa Island. The ride gives you a beautiful view from high up in the air. At the peak, there is a special Bell of Happiness that you can ring for good luck. It is a nice place to walk around and enjoy nature, and you can even have a meal with a view.

Ashton was our driver. We...

Ashton was our driver. We arrived tired and with one kid feeling very rough after the flight, as well as struggling a little with the temp and humidity. Not only did Ashton take great care of us, he educated us in his Singapore. We cannot recommend him enough, it was the perfect way to start off in Singapore

Best personal driver in Singapore

This was our best day in Singapore, our driver Mega was so knowledgeable and happy to drive us on our own itinerary. We got to learn about Singapore while ticking off so many destinations. The car was clean air conditioned and only a moment away when we were ready to see the next destination.

Alvin was great. He was easy to connect with and had great conversation and outstanding knowledge of the city. The instructions for meeting up were clear and we gained a really good understanding of the layout of Singapore. We did not rate the experience 5 stars because we felt that a wider variety of options and ideas could have been suggested by Viator

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that Alvin was easy to connect with, knowledgeable, and helped you understand Singapore better with clear meeting instructions. We also appreciate your note about wanting a wider variety of options and ideas, and we will use this to improve how we present tour recommendations. We hope to welcome you again for an even better experience.

Misleading. this is not a tour, it’s just a private driver

This is misleading. This is not a tour. Instead, it’s car service. You’re hiring a private driver. He cannot take pictures of you. He just picks and drops you off at various locations. The company is very disorganized. After building a custom itinerary with Nano (the organizer), I was picked up by the driver who had no clue about the itinerary. Nana did not tell the driver. The driver was nice, this review has nothing to do with him. The company needs to update their description of this excursion. I would not recommend this company. There are cheaper and better options out there.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify several important points. The service booked was a Private Customized City Tour with Driver. The booking details clearly state on the platform that the service includes a private vehicle, an English-speaking driver, and transportation between selected attractions. A licensed tour guide is not included in the tour price and is listed separately as an optional add-on. In Singapore, a private-hire driver and a licensed tour guide have different roles. Drivers are permitted to provide transportation and basic assistance, but they are not allowed to conduct guided walking tours, accompany guests through attractions as a guide, or provide professional guiding services unless they hold a valid tourist guide licence. We understand that you requested the driver to walk with you at different locations and assist with taking photos. Unfortunately, this is not something we can guarantee or require from our drivers as part of this booking. If guests require someone to accompany them, explain attractions in detail, and assist throughout the tour, a licensed tour guide must be arranged separately. Before the tour, we explained this through WhatsApp and offered the licensed guide option at an additional charge. However, you chose to continue with the original driver-only booking. Regarding the cancellation request, the cancellation policy was clearly displayed on the platform before payment was completed. The booking was already within the non-refundable cancellation period stated at the time of purchase. Therefore, we were unable to approve a refund. We are sorry that the service was not what you personally expected. However, the booking details clearly state the inclusions and exclusions, and our team also explained the driver’s role before the tour. We understand that this may have been disappointing, and we sincerely apologise if this caused any frustration. However, the specific service of your requested — having the driver accompany you through attractions and remain with you throughout the visit to take photographs — is not something we are legally permitted to provide under Singapore tourism regulations unless the person is a licensed tourist guide. As a licensed tourism operator, we are required to comply with these regulations to protect both our customers and our staff. For this reason, we were unfortunately unable to accommodate this request, even though we understand why it was important to you. For future bookings, we kindly recommend contacting us before making a reservation if there are any specific service expectations or special requests. This allows us to confirm in advance whether the requested service can be provided and helps prevent any misunderstanding.

A wonderful way to see Singapore

Mega (driver) was absolutely outstanding. Not only was he knowledgeable about Singapore, but he was a safe and excellent driver. As I had seen a lot of the usual places, he was able to show me some of the lesser-known but equally interesting places around Singapore.He took me to Little India for lunch and it was a highlight. I can't recommend him enough.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Mega made your Singapore tour outstanding with his knowledge, safe driving, and thoughtful local recommendations. It’s great to know he showed you lesser-known places and that lunch in Little India became a highlight. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon.

There are plenty of tours to see in Singapore and some are done by walking. But having someone to drive you around town

Hiring someone to drive you around town to show you the different sections is less time consuming and comfortable.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re happy to hear that having a private driver made it easier, more comfortable, and less time-consuming to explore different parts of the city. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again soon.

The best

Amazing experience top to bottom - the longer tour with the English guide (Kelvin) was not too rushed. We all had a great time, kids aged 11-16. Saw a good mix of cultural and entertainment.
