its a casual experience with plenty of interaction with the guide. Personal stories added to the experience.

The instructions for this tour were very confusing. The tour was advertised to start at 1.30 pm but that turned out to be the hotel pick up time so the tour ended up finishing about 45 minutes later than we expected which we only found out on the day and messed up our dinner plans. The email confirmation told us the pick up time would be 8.30 am. I'm assuming that is text for a morning tour. I noted that other reviews have also pointed out these messy instructions and a number of times the tour operator has responded to say they'd look at fixing it but they haven't. The tour guide and the actual tour was very good but I wouldn't recommend this tour based on the organisation. It gets the tour off to a bad start and makes it hard for your guides.

This was a great tour. So very interesting. The leader was very knowledgeable and could answer a lot of questions. The museum was outstanding. I learned a lot about the Singapore occupation then I knew. If you have time during your stay, you need to do this. This is not touristy at all.
