About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Passenger651624024810 contributionsGreat value as included all the entry fees with a personal taxi readily available after each.Great trip and guide LOY who was clear, knowledgeable and very informative. Well worth the funds for a private guided tour, when you consider that the entry fees for the river cruise and the Marina Bay Sands Skypark would have cost a good chunk of the total and the taxi driver was on call and kept arriving on cue, plus the spectacular Gardens with light show & music included. Great experience and included several things and info that we had not achieved on 2 previous Singapore stopovers. Do your research then spend the month as well worth it.Written 24 September 2024
- MHTravellers0 contributionsGardens by the Bay night tourDoris has all of the local knowledge and facts that you will require during this tour. The local knowledge goes a long way as Doris shows you the best vantage points to view Singapore at night from and also being able to answer every question you may have. The tour ran like clockwork. Fantastic timeWritten 20 September 2024
- 617evani0 contributionsEntertaining and educationalThe tour spots were great and the guides taught me a lot about the country. However, they modified the itinerary on me at the last second - instead of going to Little India, we went to China Town. Still, the tour was a great experience.Written 1 September 2024
- Foz06090 contributionsNight SafariUnfortunately, it didn’t meet the expectations at all , the fact that I bought the tickets and was informed after making the payment that I wouldn’t receive my tickets till the day of the event was extremely stressful , this should have been mentioned before purchasing. This is not my first time going to the night safari park however, this is the first time that this has occurred . For me to have to follow up on my tickets was very stressful and consumed a lot of my vacation time . The tickets I paid for were for 7:15 pm . And I was given 9:15 pm slot . Which is extremely late and I had other plans and reservations. Trip advisor needs to look into this and not sell non refundable tickets and surprising customers with different timings and having to follow up on their tickets.Written 6 August 2024
- PaulB125070 contributionsA night to remember!Our tour guide, Michael, was highly knowledgeable and was able to tailor the tour to ensure it didn't overlap with anything we had already seen. We had a most enjoyable night!Written 4 August 2024
- Sandy-Australia660 contributionsDO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS PROVIDERDO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS PROVIDER 10 days after I purchased the tickets they still hadn’t arrived by email as stated so I emailed them twice with no response. I called them twice and both times got an answering machine. I contacted Viator who also tried to contact them with no reply. After 12 days from when I purchased the tickets and a day before my trip I still hadn’t received my tickets so I contacted Viator again who said they would follow up again. Later that day they notified mt that this tour provider had canceled my tour. Very disappointed but at least I got a refund and hopefully can buy tickets at the gate when we arrive.Written 17 July 2024

- 353ninad0 contributionsIt was good, but not as advertised.We weren't taken to little India or to the Marina Sands to see the view. We did see two light shows which were very nice. Felt a bit rushed throughout.Written 8 July 2024
- Dick H0 contributionsVisions of SingaporeAlex was awesome 👌 Highly recommended to other families on holidays in Singapore. His knowledge of the history of Singapore was wonderful to listen to and reflect upon.Written 6 July 2024
- Shelleyt19810 contributionsGreat Quick Introduction to Singapore’s Night SceneThis is a great little tour if you’re short on time & looking for a quick introduction to some of Singapore’s history & night time attractions. It is very expensive for what it is, my tour from pick up to drop off was just over 2.5hrs so I did feel rushed & it would have been cheaper to book a series of taxi’s & booked MBS Skypark & River Cruise myself & take my time. That being said my guide was very informative about the local areas & gave a running commentary as we were travelling around, the car was very clean, comfortable & safe.Written 22 June 2024
- tracey f0 contributionsYou gotta try this if you canOmg if i could give it 10 stars i would! Alex was our guide and was funny and knowledgeable about all the sights we visited on the tour. No waiting and certainly felt like a vip experience indeed! Highly recommend and worth the cost!Written 14 June 2024
- V6731PZsylvias0 contributionsMust book it’s awesome!!Amazing tour and guide, she got us to every location it was awesome, if you watched the movie Crazy Rich Asians then you will love this tour. Worth every penny. I was limited on time so yes it was perfectWritten 11 June 2024
- 692lawrencec0 contributionsLovely experienceLovely few hours out . Cool , indoors which is useful if it’s a deluge . Even took the car around the gardens which was an extra 10 dollars but well worth it if your mobility is compromised in any way . The experience was a delight and a must if your in SingatWritten 1 June 2024
- crouchrs0 contributionsGreat Tour of SingaporeThis tour was much more comprehensive than I expected. Mike was a great guide who gave us so much information about the history and culture of Singapore. A highlight was the Singapore Barrage, which is not generally open to tourists!Written 31 May 2024

It was excellent to cover a lot of locations and sites in 3-4 hours. Visit to orchid garden and the Chinese temple were the highlight. Our guide Anthony Sam was very informative, cordial and funny making this whole trip very memorable. He also took a lot of photos for us at the best locations to make memories.

Anthony Sam was a fabulous guide.
The gardens and the jaunt around the city were also of course great for intro to city. For a first day in Singapore this is perfect. Maybe a bit tough to get to orchid gardens without tour, and even if you are not a big flower person this is a garden not to miss.
The rest of the city (Indian area, Chinatown, colonial area) is good to get introduced to and you can visit later, easy.
Most importantly getting to hear about Singapore from a local who is a true ambassador for his country is invaluable as a tourist who wants to get a little insight into where they are visiting.
Highly recommend!

The private tour was educational and provided a unique perspective from our local guide, Doris. They met us at the hotel lobby and we were on our way! We toured little India, China Town, Old Parliament and the Botanical Gardens. It was a fairly hot afternoon so we asked Doris where we could go for some refreshments. She took us to a local hangout Madame Ooze. There they had quite an array of unique beverages and ice cream. This place should be on the tour. It's small but the staff are friendly and the offerings are really good. It was great to see thriving neighborhoods with all the little shops and cafes. Doris also had many good recommendations for where to eat and to avoid the tourist traps. The Botanical Gardens are amazing. There is a lot of walking on this tour. Most of it is flat with the exception of the Botanical Gardens where there are some stairs and graded walkways. Overall, we enjoyed this tour and I'm looking forward to exploring all the recommendations our guide gave us!

Guide Alex Er was interesting, knowledgeable and empathetic to our needs (mobility issues). He even arranged a wheelchair for my wife and pushed her round the National Orchid Garden himself.
Well done Alex, hope to see you again on our return.

My family and I got a perfect intro to Singapore on this half day tour. Our tour guide Micheal personalized our tour to accommodate my elderly mom and dad’s mobility issues. He thoughtfully answered all our questions about Singapore like history, economics, and cuisine. Very knowledgable and entertaining tour guide. Well worth the price.

We were picked up very promptly. The tour guide Mike was very friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. The orchid gardens were amazing and we loved the tour of China town, especially the Chinese temple and the market area. A particular bonus was when Mike bought us Pandan cake! Definitely worth the money. Thank you Mike and the driver who catered for all our needs.

Mr Jimmy Oo was an excellent tour guide. We had a transit at Singapore Airport all day, so organised him and his fabulous driver to pick us up and deliver us back after a comprehensive tour of areas we hadn’t seen before in Singapore. Jimmy was so informative about each area, with a wealth of knowledge shared with great English language and a super sense of humour. He tailor made the tour to suit our whole family and went over and beyond our expectations. Fantastic way to see the highlights of Singapore while waiting for a connecting flight.

I was picked up at my hotel. Car was clean and the driver spoke very good English. He presented me with some recommendations and off we went. He was very flexible and stopped where I wanted to go. His recommendations were spot on. I was very happy with the tour and would recommend it.

The knowledge and story telling skills of my guide, Antony, enriched the trip tremendously. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about Singapore.
The trip was well organized and I felt very comfortable. I would like to repeat this experience if I am ever back in Singapore with some other trip.

My husband and I are arriving the morning of 2/7/19 - leaving on a Silversea Cruise the next afternoon. We will be spending the night at Kowloon Shangri-La hotel. My husband is in a wheelchair and does not walk - would need to transfer into the van OR a car. Looking at the 2pm on 2/7 - would you have a van with a lift or a ramp? If not, would you be able to send a picture of the van. Another option would be a sedan size car. Thanks
