About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chrislongwi0 contributionsAfternoon in SingaporeAlex was an outstanding guide!! Took us to areas that you would have never seen like the Michelin star coffee hawkers stand!! Informative, good driver! Highly recommend!Written 11 February 2025
- davidhonywood0 contributionsGreat night outIt was great to see a number animals in their nocturnal environment, something you don't get to enjoy at other wild life parks. We thoughtfully enjoyed the experience and would do againWritten 6 February 2025
- davidbA303KQ0 contributionsA trouble free delightA truly amazing experience viewing all the stunning flower displays. Plus these guys gave me a WhatsApp call on the day of our visit and WhatsApp ed our e tickets over to me. We grabbed a taxi from Raffles Hotel after the obligatory Singapore Sling in the Long Bar and he took us straight to the entrance. The whole process was so straightforward I fully recommend it!Written 30 January 2025
- Rob M0 contributionsTrip Advisor is a complete waste of time and money!I booked on-line through Trip Advisor — two events (Big Trees and Cloud Garden). The Trip Advisor subcontractor did not deliver the tickets on time and I was forced to nuy tickets at tge event. I called the subcontractor and my call was sent to voicemail. The contractor called me back when I was already in the event. When I complained, he offered to refund one of the two tickets. Complete waste of time and money!Written 29 January 2025
- xubmuv x0 contributionsE ticketDidn't get my e-ticket. I call and text them several times. They say they will email it to me but still didnt get it. Wast my timeWritten 23 January 2025
- dhruvs4680 contributionsWonderful , amazing incredibleIt was amazing exp of cloud forest and super tree beautifully design , the way everything is designed from diff birds and monkey statue it is incredible .singapore you are so excellentWritten 15 January 2025
- Hugenot0 contributionsExpensiveThis was on our to-do list but, because the weather was wet, windy and very cloudy, we didn't bother. The ¢23 admission charge didn't seem worth the risk of poor views. Friends locally recommended either booking a table in the SPAGO bar (with a minimum ¢30pp spend) or trying the cocktail bar at the top of the Swissotel. I guess from that building you'd get a view OF MBS and the bay.Written 14 January 2025
- Samantha H0 contributionsExcellent and engaging guide!Unfortunately my husband was unwell so Doris the guide and I were on our own for this trip. Doris was good company, engaging and knowledgeable. We had a lovely evening. I had been concerned about the boat trip as I suffer from motion sickness; however the ride was so comfortable and the river like a mill pond. The ride was a nice way to see Singapore and understand how it is laid out. The gardens were lovely and well worth a visit and the night light show entertaining. A very enjoyable evening.Written 11 January 2025
- evanw1770 contributionsGood value day putWhat fantastic value for money, I paid $32 for total trips. Had a really good time to see all over Sentosa Well thought out well staffed and comfortable Congratulations and thanks again for good day outWritten 7 January 2025
- sarahd7820 contributionsWorth a lookEnjoyed the park but very busy lots of screaming children. A bit too overcrowded for me. Didn’t help that there was a storm so more people in the Cloud forest than outsideWritten 3 January 2025
- Angie N0 contributionsHappy with servicesBooking on the website was easy and good price for round trip, no queue. Very efficient to get in the cable car. I've used this website to book other activities where they provided English speaking guide and we have been very satisfied with the user friendly booking site and the ease to tour places.Written 23 December 2024
- Pauline G0 contributionsAirport transferPrivate transfer was excellent. I was kept informed and my transfer was waiting in departure, he was very friendly and polite and assisted with luggage.Written 18 December 2024
- Alora1230 contributionsAn enjoyable and different experienceGreat place to visit and certainly a different experience. Great variety of animals to see that are not in cages but in large enclosures which seem really close to you. Enjoyed walking the paths at own pace - you see a lot more than on the bus.Written 14 December 2024

- 617ralitsan0 contributionsGuide did not turn up and not contactableThe worst Viator experience I have had having used them for years and been very happy with the service. This particular subcontractor did not bother to turn up! Contacted me on what’s app whilst I was in the air on my flight into Singapore at 2pm for 6pm tour ( I was doing in my layover transfer ) and when I got off at 16.30 and responded and rang 23 times he did not pick up and rang me at 20.30 to tell me he has work life balance and left the office when you did not hear from me whilst I was on the plane ….the arrogance, I am flying out back into the UK at 6am tomorrow so can’t rebook and this ruined the little time I had to do something whilst passing in Singapore … hugely disappointed and in addition he is disputing a refund, hoping Viator will honour given the circumstances …Written 23 November 2024

Nighttime Sightseeing with River Cruise is a spectacular experience! Enjoy stunning city views lit up at night while cruising the river in comfort. The guide was informative, and the peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect way to see the sights in a relaxed, intimate setting.

We were in Singapore for only 2 days, Our flight arrived very early in the morning and planned this evening tour as a wonderful way to introduce ourselves to this magical city / state / nation. Yes, the tour is a bit expensive. But a private tour for my wife and I was absolutely the right choice. Our tour guide – Michael – was a real blessing. He and his excellent driver navigated around the highlights of the city like a masters. Singapore is always full of tourists and the knowledge of best routes and pick up points was remarkable and precise.
I had read quite a bit about Singapore, its history and its government structure. Michael was fantastic in bringing perspective to my readings. He is very proud of his country.
We were met at our hotel lobby right on time. The teamwork between Micheal and his driver were the model of efficiency. Our experience was excellent. The guide takes you around to all the great places you want to see. We (quickly) got to see lots of amazing places and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Much of today’s Singapore is on reclaimed land. It is an ongoing process. The Singapore you see today will be different in a decade. Michael seamlessly took us through this remarkable process.
Michael knows everyone wants to document their experiences with photographs. He used his own i-phone to thoroughly document the night tour and after the end he uploaded them all through the What’s App system.
I highly recommend the tour and especially our guide Michael Tan. If you have limited time and like to ask questions Michael is the guy to request - BY NAME.

We were assigned Alex. He was on time and very informative. Because we were staying at the Marina Bay Sands, he adapted the tour for us to go to the cable cars, which was a great skyline view at sunset. Unfortunately. due to a technical difficulty we were stuck on the cable car for over an hour, that changed the direction of our tour. He took us to the water barrage which had a great city view and then the river cruise. The other facets of the tour we missed. It felt rushed. This was a lot of $$ to pay for a tour that was not complete.

We were picked up from our hotel by Stanley and our driver in a private taxi and given a tour of the key areas of the city. We then went on a river cruise as priority guests, followed by gaining a good vantage point and view of the "living trees" nightly light show. Finally, we were taken up to the observation deck of the Marina Sands Bay hotel for a fantastic view of the city by night. Our guide was very knowledgeable and amusing, and this was a great way to take in a lot of the best sights in quite a short amount of time.

This tour was a very comprehensive and well organized tour of nighttime highlights in Singapore. We covered so many attractions from a river cruise to a magical light show at the Marina Bay Gardens to breathtaking views from the Marina Bay platform then ending the tour in colorful Little India. Our guide Anthony was great and enthusiastic about Singapore and gave us lots of tips for the remainder of our stay. We learned so much from him about Singaporean history, culture and daily life . The private van provided enabled us to cover so much ground so efficiently - this is ideal for visitors who are only here for a short time.

We were in Singapore for only 4 days and decided to get a tour and this one was a little more expensive than others. We know that you get what you pay for, we also checked the reviews and other tour people’s reviews.
We were collected perfectly on time and really enjoyed ourselves. Our experience was excellent. But this is a whistle stop tour, as we expected from reading reviews. The host takes you around to all the great places you might want to see, tells you loads of great information and is really very good. We (quickly) got to see lots of amazing places and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
There is so much to do there and if you have only a certain amount of time, or need to see things before you want to go back, we highly recommend.
We did: an amazing flower show, the boat hotel thing, had an amazing walk by the sea barrier, the light show in the park (sorry, I did this review much later and forget names of places) and we ended up on a lovely boat tour.
He was great and took us to places we would not have otherwise seen. I hope this review gives anyone reading it some idea of what you will get and I would recommend if you want to see lots.
Thank you, host.

Enjoyed a delightful and perfectly orchestrated evening in Singapore with our private guide, Stanley. After meeting him in the lobby of our hotel, we entered a reserved car & received a tour & information about several areas until we loaded onto our boat for a delightful River cruise of the Marina bay. We then viewed the light & music show of the trees at Garden at the Bay at a special spot, away from the crowds that had gathered. Lastly we had a perfect view from the observation deck on Marina Del Sands and our guide pointed out different buildings & some additional facts. Not only did he take some special pictures but he brought along some nuts, cookies & water so we wouldn’t be hungry or thirsty during our tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

This 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.

Hi, we’re 3 including adults and one 3 year old kid. How many tickets do we need to buy?
Written 12 February 2023
I would think you would not need a ticket for your three year old, but I am not certain. I think you need to discuss this with the group you are thinking of going with. Also, it might be an idea to discuss if the tour is appropriate for a three year old.
The tour we did was great but it was a little fast paced at times.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your tour.

Hello, we will arrive at the airport at 6 pm, is it possible to join this tour?
Written 5 January 2023
The Singapore airport is very efficient with immigration, getting checks bags, and customs. Since this is a private tour, you should be able to customize it with your tour guide, but know you'll probably miss out on 2 of the 4 planned activities.
Written 5 January 2023
I have looked at various payment and tour options from google, viator and trip advisor, there is quite a variety to choose from with varying prices, is there a tour that includes transfers, the 2 flower dome, the light show, the sky deck and observation.
We're in Singapore for one full day on the 25th Nov 2019, staying at the Swissotel, merchant court
