Amazing and Emotional Trip

5.00This was an amazing and deeply emotional experience. The tour offers a powerful insight into the lives and struggles of those held here, and it really stays with you long after you leave. The guide was excellent, knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the history in a meaningful way.
Only if you have a real interest in finding a relatives history by graveside.

3.00Not as interesting as the title of the tour sounds. The one hour ride in an air conditioned bus to the Commonwealth War Graves was great but the guide , who was super friendly, spoke so quickly it was hard for us to keep tuned in. He gave a stream of historical dates and facts that after a while was just too much to take in. The graves themselves were poignant. The visit to the Changi Museum on the way back was excellent but you could just get a car to there. Stopping at a sea side site on the way back was rather pointless. Also we finished an hour late and that meant we had to really rush to our next appointment.
A very absorbing tour.

5.00This tour was very interesting and informative. We like to think that war cannot happen to us but current events show it can happen anywhere anytime. Keeping alive the memory of the sacrifices made by those who fought in WWII to keep us free helps to avoid another war. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Sobering and Inspiring

5.00This was a great tour. Pick up was efficient and well organised. Th tour itself was very interesting and sobering at the same time! Sadly, I can’t remember our guides name but he was great - friendly and certainly knew his subject.

LOTS OF DRIVING

3.00Books this tour during a five day layover in Singapore. Very interested in military history of region. Efficient pickup from hotel and main bus was modern and clean. Van back to hotel at end of tour sounded like it was falling apart and driver clearly unwell but had mask under chin. Lots of driving on tour. Australian cemetery very confronting with number of graves. Changi museum was a little underwhelming. It would be very hard to get to these various sites using public transport or driving yourself so your probably your best option but I would not have done this tour if I knew how much time we were to spend in the bus.
Great afternoon

4.00Tour insightful, and solemn as i had been to fort canning in the morning and toured the battle box. so this was a great follow up guide very knowledgeable and most enthusiastic, he just imparted just too much information at once.
Annoying inappropriate continual irritating laughter

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00The guide wasn’t easy to understand & he kept laughing inappropriately after every comment he made. He was friendly enough, but his false continual laughing made the experience frustrating & irritating to say the least. Especially as he laughed at serious & solemn topics. More dignity & less laughter After every sentence would be so much better
