Taylor made to suit our requirements. Martin could not have done a better job. Would recommend him to anyone wanting a special tour.

Brian was an attentive and knowledgeable and patient guide. He took us to some key sites including the Gardens by the Bay and the Hindu and Buddhist Temples as we had requested.
All in all, a great tour and a great guide.

Joana was a great tour guide. She spend extra time with me, making sure that I saw all of the sites I was interested in.

Brian was a great guide. We had a few things we wanted to do, he took us there and assisted with tickets and waited while we visited the attractions. He also took us to Chinatown, where we went to 2 temples and ate at the oldest Hawker. He also made sure we got a cab back to our hotel.
Great way to go if you have a list of what you want to do.

Joanna did a great job having us experience little India, food, and temples.
She gave us great recommendations of what to do and where to visit.
Very friendly and accommodating

Great overview of Singapore. Lots of walking and use of MRT. Brian was terrific and gave us an MRT tutorial which helped us our entire stay. Booked this tour to keep active after landing the same day. Tour kept us interested and on our feet. Excellent communication from Brian before the tour.

The tour with Brandon was great.
He was very punctual and gave us great information not only about the historically places but very useful ones like how to use the public transportation. He took us to great places with great views .
Very enjoyable tour!!!

Our tour guide Mr. Jack Zhao was very knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent photographer.
He tailored the tour to our requirements and provided a great insight into the city of Singapore which made our trip memorable.
It was beyond our expectations, and I certainly recommend this tour to one and all.

Nicholas was a fabulous knowledgeable and personable tour guide.
I throughly recommend the tour. He took us to see the real Singapore lifestyle and enlightened us with his personal story.

Visited local places and got a really good feel of Singapore. Walk and use underground when you can, learn and see more locally
Michael_W, Jun 2022
A customized trip where the client steers the journey is the best way to go. Peer was an excellent guide who pointed out Singapore from a local's viewpoint. We had a fine time walking the city, using the mass transit, stopping for drinks and enjoying the city. As advertised, this was a guided trip that was not canned or filled with data, but a how-to-enjoy the city from a local's perspective.
I recommend this tour.

Our tour guide, Keith, was excellent. He took us on a cultural tour and showed us places we wouldn't have even thought to go. He also had a wealth of knowledge that he shared along the way.

The tour of the city was quickly postponed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the afternoon by the assigned guide, Daryl Pohl. That was a serious and costly mistake that I agreed to. By the way, he was late!
The assigned person named Deryl Pohl had the task as part of his guided tour to get us to a specific address on time, namely at 18.30 on the island of Sentosa. A yacht tour was waiting for us afterwards. That failed him thoroughly and we arrived 30 minutes=19.00 o'clock late , 119€ damage to us. There was no time management of the man. The man is not suitable as a tourist guide! He became entangled in contradictions that could already be described as conjectures, better known as lies. Quote Daryl: "A woman would have heard that the yacht tour would be cancelled due to bad weather" By the way, there was best boat excursion weather : no wind and no rain in sight
He screwed up our Singapore stay thoroughly!
It would have been no problem to shorten the city tour so that we are on time on Sentosa. I had trusted him for what I had to pay dearly! Never again.

Hallo Bernd,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir bedauern die Erfahrung mit unserem Reiseleiter sehr. Er hatte Sie laut eigenen Angaben einen Tag zuvor über die Änderung Ihrer Tourzeit informiert, da es in Singapur aufgrund der Feierlichkeiten zum Nationalfeiertag zu Straßensperren kam, die den Ablauf Ihrer Tour möglicherweise beeinträchtigt hätten.
Wir dulden jedoch kein schlechtes Zeitmanagement und bedauern, dass Ihnen dadurch zusätzliche Kosten für Ihre Yachttour entstanden sind, insbesondere nachdem Sie seinem Urteil vertraut haben. Obwohl Daryl ein erfahrener lokaler Reiseleiter ist, mit dem wir schon seit einiger Zeit zusammenarbeiten, werden wir uns direkt an ihn wenden, um die Angelegenheit zu klären und unsere weitere Zusammenarbeit sorgfältig zu prüfen.
Wir entschuldigen uns nochmals aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Unser einziger Trost ist, dass Sie für Ihr Yachterlebnis gutes Wetter hatten. Wir hoffen, Ihnen in Zukunft eine reibungslose und unvergessliche Tour bieten zu können.

Mit Peer haben wir viel über Singapur erfahren und wir haben die Stadt mit U-Bahn uns zu Fuß erkundet. Wer auf der Suche nach einem deutschsprachigen Guide ist, ist bei Peer gut aufgehoben.
