Great Tour of Singapore

Michael_C, Mar 2026
There were four stops with adequate time to take photos, but not time to look for souvenirs. Our guide, Marie, was excellent. She is very knowledgeable and shared both cultural and historical insights.

I had to call the tour...

George_G, Mar 2026
I had to call the tour operator in the morning to find out what was happening as the bus arrived almost 15 minutes late to pick us up from our designated meeting point. That aside, the tour itself was enjoyable and the guide was great.

Hi George, First would like to apologize for the delay as sometimes traffic is out of our control but we do our best to ensure that you are comfortable and have a good memorable experience. Thank you for your time and we hope to see you again soon. With best regards, Fay

Good intro to Singapore

tommako, Mar 2026
While you wont see everything, nor cover anything in depth- it does provide a good overview of the city as well as hitting the major highlights. Its also great that it finishes at the orchid garden, so one can stay longer if wanted.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Tom, Thank you for providing us a good review. We appreciate you taking time and we are glad that you enjoyed the tour and had a good experience. With best regards Fay

Nice glimpse of Singapore

Karen_W, Mar 2026
Our guide was very friendly and informative—well organized. Although I enjoyed getting all the information, some time without talking would also have been appreciated. Visiting the area near the mosque was okay but would like to have seen Little India. The visit to Thian Hock Keng Temple was very nice. I enjoyed the guide’s information.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Karen, Thank you very much for your feedback. As out City Tour Itinerary is fixed we are unable to include Little India as it is covered under another tour which is the Nightout Chinatown with Little India. In any case we are glad that you had a good tour experience. With best regards Fay

Tour guide difficult to understand

Rosalynn_A, Feb 2026
Found tour quite boring Spent too long looking at a mural beside the mosque leaving very little time to enjoy the gardens

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Rosalyn, Thank you very much for your feedback. As different person has different personality in nature and very subjective. Some people enjoy Murals some do not so we hope you will understand that we have to put a balance and also follow a designed itinerary. Also even at the Gardens are only allotted 45min to explore and experience the Gardens. Thank you for your feedback and comments. With best regards Fay

Morningtour in Singapore

Joachim_H, Feb 2026
The tour was pleasant and well organized. Pickup at our hotel worked smoothly. However, the guide was somewhat difficult to understand, especially for those of us who are not native English speakers. On the bus, with a very poor sound system, it was practically impossible. The time spent in the orchid garden was far too short.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear sir / madam, Thank you very much for your feedback and comments with regards to the tour. The sound system on the bus is well noted and we will inform our tour guides to speak more clearly. With best regards, Fay

Introduction to main sights of Singapore

Julia_B, Feb 2026
Good introduction to some of the sights of Singapore, but the guide we had was difficult to understand, and, on occasion, spoke very softly. Rather bizarrely he seemed to find virtually everything he said amusing, and laughed at his own remarks.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Julia, Thank you for your feedback with regards to your experience with our tour. Will check on the guide that day and ensure that we correct this. Again, sincerely apologize. With best regards Fay

Great for orientation.

Linda_M, Feb 2026
Very informative. Good to see where things are in relation to each other and lots of insider information about best places to go. Suitable for anyone, small amount of walking involved.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Linda, Thank you very much for taking time to send us a review and feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your tour and had a pleasant experience. With best regards Fay

Great Introduction to Singapore.

Thomas_S, Feb 2026
Wonderful way to get familiar with several different aspects of Singapore culture. Comfortable bus. Hop-on-off tours go more places but don't get into the depth this tour does. Guide was funny and kept everything going well..

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Thomas, Thank you for taking time sending us a positive feedback. Happy that you find our guides kept the tour lively and informative. With best regards Fay

A great tour to visit lovely Singapore.

Stephen_T, Jan 2026
This was a good trip to see some of the tourist places of interest in Singapore,our tour guide Paul was very knowledgeable about the area and told us great history that you wouldn’t have known,I think the timing was about right with each visit as you have a lot to take in in just the morning.There is a bit of walking involved but not a great deal depending on where they can park the coach.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear sir / madam, Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. Paul has been one of the long service tour guide and he is excellent with his experience. We hope to see you back in Singapore. With best regards Fay

Unresponsive!

Gayle_M, Jan 2026
Very disappointed. Tried to reach them about rescheduling my tour and got no response. Missed tour and still charged. Next time I will book on arrival. Plenty of availability for tomorrow. I would have appreciated a response at least.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Gayle, First, please allow us to sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused and for missing your tour. There were some miscommunications with regards to your pickup location and driver was unable to locate you. With best regards, Fay

Singapore Morning

The places we visited were very interesting with information provided rich in cultural history. However, the guides microphone did not work while off the bus and couldn't hear him.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Ernesto, First would like to thank you for taking time to write us your feedback and comment. We will inform our guide to ensure that their microphone works off the bus. With best regards Fay

City tour

Bambi_M, Jan 2026
Nice tour, however the tour said be in the lobby by 8:15 which we were, but the guide came through a different door. Thankfully we were walking around the lobby or we would have missed her. I think it would be beneficial if they gave a precise location to meet.

Great value morning tour

Brenda_J, Jan 2026

Wrong time listed on viator

Michael_N, Dec 2025
A tour ticket was for 9 AM. However, the Tours company departed on a 830 tour so we missed the tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Michael, We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences and for missing the tour. As we have indicated our pickup time and when the tour starts on Viator's portal it should show on your voucher correctly. In any way, again we apologize for the inconvenience caused. With best regards Fay
