    Tour cancelled without notice, do not use this platform I travelled across Singapore to the meeting point and no one showed up!

    Hello Ruth, it is unfortunate that there was a gap in communication. We have received your booking on the 26th of May, and we have messaged you on the same day that we cannot proceed as the minimum number of pax was not met. We sent the message through the Viator platform where you made the booking. Refund was processed on the 29th of May. Apologies for the inconvenience.

    If you want to see some things you wont find yourself. Book this tour!!!

    We loved this tour!! Stefan was incredibly knowledgeable and could answer any question thrown at him. The transportation was a small air conditioned bus which was very comfortable. Every location was so interesting especially the paper houses and the bakery. Stefan even took the time to show us where to experience a tea ceremony after the tour which was also fantastic. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

    Must do!

    This was a really great tour to see various parts of the area. The paper house experience was the best. We also went through Chinatown so that helped us navigate later! Highly recommend for something different. It was a combo of walking and a ride in a van.
