Great tour and very knowledgeable guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip around the island looking at some of the significant events of WW2. The joining instructions, however were terrible. The tour was to commence at 1330 and our hotel pickup said 0815-0830. The tour commencement time was the actual pickup time. Recommend that you phone the local provider to confirm.

This was a good tour of both Kranji war Cemetery and of the prison. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made the information more interesting by including some of his family's personal experience.

A very informative tour. Although the location is totally different to what it was in 1945, just being there is an experience. To me though, the highlight is the cemetery.
