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

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
Unhappy

2.00The tour was knowledgeable but it took too long due to the lack of coaches firstly at the start waiting for another coach to arrive and at the end when there was only one coach available at the end and it took over thirty minutes for a coach to arrive to take us back to our hotels Our three and a half hour tour went for more than 5 hours
Very enjoyable and...

3.00There is not a lot of walking but Kranji is on a hill and a few steps leading into it. Worth the journey. Our guide was informative but needs to provide more time to explore instead of talking. Most people on tour were older and it was a small group not sure why we needed a double decker, 80 seater bus. Climbing up and down stairs was tough for fit people. Tour would be better conducted in morning when cooler. Changi Chapel was excellent but because the bus was to big and could not get into the car park we had to cross a very busy road. Changi Beach was lovely but had a horrific past. The tour is a great reminder of the sacrifice and futility of war. Overall a good tour and well conducted it is a pity it is becoming less popular.
Brief history of Singapore 1942 onwards.
