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.
To honour the fallen of so many people who gave their lives for our today.

5.00A fantastic experience with a great way to honour the fallen. It was great to explain the history of Singapore during WW2. They explain the Singapore people are educated in mistakes during the war with the education to never to be repeated again.

World War 2 Battlefield Tour - Kranji Cemetery and Changi Prison

- Review from Viator
5.00Singapore Battlefield tour is an excellent way to visit the Kranji Cemetery, the principal cemetery and memorial to allied forces in Singapore and Malaya and Changi prison, museum where thousands were imprisoned and Changi beach where thousands were shot. The tour was well organized, transportation was very comfortable and our guide very knowledgeable about the war and Singapore’s society today. For an in depth overview of the conduct to the defense of Singapore I recommend visiting the Former Ford Factory and Battlebox.
