Great tour and 2hrs was enough as it was very hot. Maybe offer another tour that goes to a different part of Singapore. Would have liked to see other interesting areas and would gladly book 3 or 4 tours with this company.

A really excellent tour around the Marina. Great for getting one’s bearings for the city. A good mix of history, heritage, architecture, culture and life today in Singapore. Aaron patiently answered our questions and if he didn’t know he found out for us all delivered with lots of humour. Highly recommended. Thank you Aaron.

“It was such a fun ride! My cycling skills were pretty bad at first due to unfamiliarity, but Aaron was quite patient and supportive, helping me get comfortable as the tour went on.

Aaron provided great info on the dynamics of Singapore! The tour was really enjoyable. All other tours were a bit to long so the two hour time at 930 was perfect. The ride stops often for photo opportunities too
