5.00Aaron 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
Great activity, would highly recommend.

5.00Can't rate them highly enough, there was a bit of a mix up on the booking (our error) but they could not have been more helpful in sorting it. We ended up doing a self tour all the way round the marina which was great and would highly recommend. Apart from the Merlion and Marina Sands Bay hotel the route was very quiet and gave a really good overview of the whole marina area.
Great bike ride
