We had a two day stop over from Melbourne. This was an excellent tour to see the ‘touristy’ things with an excellent tour guide Jingle whose knowledge of the city was very informative. Really enjoyed the River Cruise. Whilst we were picked up from the hotel we had the option of being dropped off at the food market. There we had dinner on ‘Satay Street. ‘

Worth every cent and an experience not to be missed! William told us the story of Singapore’s history across the evening and his communication and care for the group was excellent. Most interesting river cruise, fantastic fantasy light show in the gardens and plenty of time for photos. Highly recommend this tour.

    Simson was a great tour guide. We learned a lot by doing the river cruise. We learned about the river, it’s history and how it’s being sustained today. I loved the view of the Rhapsody Garden and it’s wonderful musical light show. Thanks for your suggestion Simson to go to Lau Po Sat! Probably should list this tour as a walking tour.

    Great way to see several of the highlights of Singapore all in one trip. Our tour guide, Jingle, did an awesome job giving us tips on best viewing points and historical information about the city! Highly recommend!

    Light show extravaganza!

    David_S, Jun 2026
    Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of this tour. Jingle kept us entertained from start to finish with her intensive knowledge of Singapore history, culture and life. The highlight of this tour was definitely the Garden Rhapsody light show, truly beautiful ! Great value for money and highly recommend our tour guide Jingle.

    Janey_S, Jun 2026
    Pros: William was a very good guide, knowledgeable & gave us a great insight to Singapore history & culture. He kept us well informed regarding the tour itinerary & timeframes. cons: advice to bring insect repellent would be helpful. water was provided but unfortunately was not cold s little too much hanging around waiting. It was very hot & uncomfortable at times

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad William's knowledge and clear communication on the itinerary made your evening informative. For added comfort during outdoor stops, we'd recommend guests bring their own insect repellent. Do also note our coach isn't equipped with refrigeration, so the water provided is at room temperature. As for the waiting periods, these typically allow time for toilet breaks, securing good viewing spots ahead of the shows, occasional queuing as buses enter the venues via a single lane, as well as a chance for guests to do some light exploring around the area. We appreciate your patience and will keep looking at ways to make the experience more comfortable. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts! 😊✨

    Happy traveler Superman

    Effortless Way to See Singapore’s Highlights

    Ying_Z, Jun 2026
    We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The entire process—from booking, pickup, and transportation to drop-off—was smooth, organized, and stress-free. The team was friendly, professional, and very easy to communicate with. What we appreciated most was how well the itinerary was planned. Visiting multiple attractions in one evening could easily feel rushed or complicated if done independently, but everything was perfectly coordinated. The timing, transportation, viewing locations, and transitions between attractions were all thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics. The guide provided clear explanations and instructions throughout the tour, making everything easy to follow. We managed to see four different attractions in one evening, yet it never felt exhausting or hurried. If you’re visiting Singapore and want to maximize your time while enjoying a seamless and relaxing experience, this tour is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

    Seeing the iconic sites in Singapore in the evening

    Joyce_G, Jun 2026
    Jingle was a bubbly, chatty tour guide was shared lots of info about the history and culture of Singapore ... and was happy to field questions as well. With her light on a pole/stick, she was easy to spot after stops as we re-gathered. Highlight for us was the light show at the Gardens by the Bay. Spectra was also impressive at Marina Bay Sands.

    Great way to see several attractions in Singapore!

    Polina_M, Jun 2026
    Jin was a very entertaining tour guide. We were actually really happy we booked this tour as the day was very rainy and it allowed us to still visit several attractions that night, which would’ve been much harder without transportation. The shows at Gardens by the Bay and in front of Marina Bay Sands are wonderful!

    Perfect Tour

    It was a great night! We loved all the experiences & our guide Simpson was a great tour leader - thank you Simpson for your very interesting commentary on Singapore life, it was fascinating. We did struggle with the instructions on getting to the meeting point, we obviously misread them. 🤔

    Tour was perfectly laid out and timed!

    Tammy_B, Jun 2026

    Ensure you have a snack prior to commencing the tour and a cold bottle of water. Other than that, enjoy the experience. They do supply a bottle of water on the bus but not cold. William our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and so helpful. What a great guy.

    William was a great host and very knowledgeable about Singapore history, worthwhile doing this cruise.

    Boat Cruise & Light Show

    Craig_U, May 2026
    This was an excellent boat cruise and light/water/laser show. William was informative and friendly. Im not a fan of 25 in a tour but considering all the venues it worked well. Do it!

    Excellent evening tour

    Simone_M, May 2026
    Excellent tour with four different stops. The Gardens by the Bay was my favourite, but thoroughly enjoyed the river cruise and the light and water show. Stand too close and you will get wet if the wind is blowing the right direction. Simpson was a great tour guide. Be aware there is no food available on this tour. Bathroom breaks are built into the tour too
