We availed their Singapore Pass which is good for 2 days and already includes the Hop on hop off bus, Duck tour, Singapore Flyer and Sentosa Entrance fee and the back and forth ride to the city. At SGD69 I think it is a very good deal. Who needs to prepare an itinerary when you already have 14 tours and... More

We were attracted to the Duck Tour in Singapoe because of the novelty of the vehicle that is used for the tour. The tour starts on land and then the vehicle splashes into the Singapore river for a short cruise. Unfotunately, the vehicle is very, very noisy, so it was a bit of a struggle to listen to the commentary,... More

It's fun being on the vehicle, travelling between land and see, and for the kids blowing away on the annoying duck whistles. I did one of these tours in 2005 and I remember it being a bit more interesting as we learned about the feng shui behind some of the buildings. This tour was more factual running us through the...

We booked this tour on-line and took our tickets at Suntet City. When we arrived, we found the human tide before their frondesk was very chaotic, and the staff's direction and the target explanation were not clear. We must waited for a long time to took our tickets. They have no specific on-line tickets frondesk!! Eventhough, the tour is an... More

It's not worth it since there's no guidance at all, "duck ride" is more precisely If I have another chance, I'll try hippo bus, at least I heard the hippo bus crossing by with city guidance More

Traveled this to get a bit of a feel for the city, before kicking into more serious exploration. The diversity of the routes is great, enabling you to get a good feel for the parts of the city you want to visit later. Also, given the temperature and humidity, these provide a cooler way to get from A to B.... More

It was fun to try out the amphibious vehicles they use, which were used in the Vietnam War, but the guide was a little over the top with corny jokes and the duck whistle. I imagine kids would really enjoy it, but as a couple, I think there were better ways to take in the view. More

The hippo tours are great to see the main sights of Singapore, unfortunately the aren't that many awesome sights to see in Singapore. Do the tour to get the grand picture and then roam to town to meet the people which will tell you more about the history and events than any tour ever could. More
