5.00I really loved the tour and appreciate that the guide was so friendly and approachable. Whenever the group had questions, the guide would try their best to address as many of them. Overall, the tour was also very engaging and enlightening. Learnt that this area is more than just a touristy area, it has many of its own stories and experiences that made them the landmarks that they are today.
Solid walk, easy to find

5.00Solid walking tour. Not too long, not too short. The guide had good stories and pointed out stuff I'd have completely walked past. Met at Raffles Place MRT, easy to find. Worth it.
Honestly the best way to start your SG trip!!

5.00So I just finished this tour earlier and honestly, it’s the best way to start your Singapore trip. Our guide was super high energy and told us so many cool, random stories about the old colonial days that you'd definitely miss if you were just exploring on your own. Walking around the Merlion and the Padang was great, but the little hidden back alleys they showed us were definitely the best part. 10/10 worth it, just make sure to bring a bottle of water because that humidity is no joke!
A wonderful way to explore Singapore :)

5.00I absolutely loved this tour! It was one of the highlights of my time in SG. Our guide was warm, friendly and insightful. The guide's stories brought SG's history to life. The route through the Civic District, along the Singapore River and to Merlion Park was well-paced, giving me plenty of time to take in the sights without ever feeling rushed. I also really appreciated all the local tips and recommendations. If u are looking for an enjoyable and informative way to explore SG, I highly recommend this tour. Cheers!
Value for money
