5.00Our present is based upon what so many endured and did in the past. These, so young, so few, uphold a benchmark for us to aspire. Walking through the Kranji War Memorial is a moving experience upon which we should all reflect. A great tour guide provides a broad historical commentary honing it back into the local context. He will even assist you locate your family ancestor if they are known to rest here. Young people from many countries @ faiths from across the world rest here. The tour continues across the northern part of Singapore Island visiting WW2 historical locations providing photo opportunities. Mini-bus pick-up and return to hotel services are included. Every tourist to Singapore needs to experience this tour!

Great tour, bad organising instructions

3.00The instructions for this tour were very confusing. The tour was advertised to start at 1.30 pm but that turned out to be the hotel pick up time so the tour ended up finishing about 45 minutes later than we expected which we only found out on the day and messed up our dinner plans. The email confirmation told us the pick up time would be 8.30 am. I'm assuming that is text for a morning tour. I noted that other reviews have also pointed out these messy instructions and a number of times the tour operator has responded to say they'd look at fixing it but they haven't. The tour guide and the actual tour was very good but I wouldn't recommend this tour based on the organisation. It gets the tour off to a bad start and makes it hard for your guides.
