5.00The trip was excellently managed by guide Nelson. He knows a lot and showed examples on print to explain. The bus taking us in between the different locations was on time and clean. First time in Singapore and this excursion was excellent to see the top attractions all at once. All very highly professional. We really felt taken care of.
Amazing Singapore!

5.00We had such a fantastic experience with this tour. Our guide Lee was the best. Extremely knowledgeable about Singapore and we learned a lot. The light show at Gardens on the Bay was the highlight. Tip : bring a blanket to lie on under the trees for the best view. As seating is very limited
