I had a great tour with Bob today. He was super knowledgeable and friendly - I really appreciated the way he went about showing me places that I wouldn’t have otherwise visited (plus some of the tourist locations). As a cyclist, I know that Brompton bikes are the coolest and so I had to book when I realised there was a tour on Brompton bikes. The speed/pace of the ride was great, with stops for drinks and shade. Thanks Bob!

A highlight of our stay in SGP. Bob was amazing and so knowledgeable. We stopped at plenty of historic spots. Enjoyed the 3pm slot as we finished as the sun was setting. We got to see the wildlife including otters which I never realised had a home in SGP! And interesting tales of the fauna. I would highly recommend this tour!!! As it gives you a good overview and then you can go back at another time to those favourite spots.

Recently took the 808 bike tour from the Rail Corridor to the Civic District and it was a fantastic experience. The tour starts from the peaceful Rail Corridor surrounded by green trees and nature, providing a refreshing break from the city. The atmosphere changed as we cycled to the Civic District, passing iconic landmarks like the National Gallery and the Merlion, a fusion of history and modern Singapore. The guide was friendly and informative, making the tour enjoyable and educational. It’s a great way to explore both the tranquil and vibrant sides of Singapore in just a few hours. Highly recommended!

We started the tour by cycling along the rustic Railway Corridor - a decommissioned railway line that has since been repurposed into an ecological and recreational corridor for cyclists and joggers. I was so surprised to realize that such a place still exists in Singapore - one which is away from concrete, hustle and bustle! Our guide, Bob pointed out several plants and flowers of note, such as the Gelam Tree and the Weeping Tea Tree. We also got to sample some local food at a local eatery! This was something I would never have been able to do so if I had gone around on my own! Breakfast was local kaya toast bread, two soft-boiled eggs, and local coffee. I will always remember this experience! And finally, we reached the historic Civic District and because we were on bicycles, we could cycle around and stopped by nearly every single building where Bob gave a detailed commentary on its history and significance. I particularly liked the story about why the old British crests were missing outside the former Supreme Court! Overall, it was a very enriching half-day experience. A great workout, both physically and mentally! I learnt a lot today! Bob is very informative, patience and full of warm smiles. It is an enriching tour to join to experience a very unique cycling tour with him.

An awesome, must-not-miss bike tour for nature and history lovers! You will get to explore hidden gems of Singapore and enjoy the beautiful scenery at one go. Bob is very knowledgeable and shared many stories behind those historic buildings at civic district. The tour is just nice mix of rest and cycling, not too challenging at all. I really enjoyed the tour and will definitely join again with my friends soon.

This year, we organized our Company retreat as usual in February 2025. While looking for a venue and activities, we came across an advertisement posted by 808 Cycle. Being a construction company with many foreign employees, I decided to book a cycling tour to introduce Singapore to them. To my surprise, the charges were very reasonable, and the bicycles provided were Brompton foldables. Our guide, Mr. Bob, was very professional and fun. He was very knowledgeable and shared his knowledge about the plants, flowers, bridges, and buildings in the Civic District and the green corridor of Singapore. We loved his stories about Sir Stamford Raffles and the Merlion. We had a great time and a well-spent day with my colleagues and our very experienced guide, Mr Bob. I will not hesitate to recommend friends and business associates to join Bob's Tours. A TOUR WITH NO REGRETS Derrick

Amazing trip! Wasn’t too long and the guide gave us several stops to rests. Definitely will join again for lesser rest and longer distance.

It was the Best tour!! I didn't know Singapore has so many nice places to go. I've gone on many different tours recently, but this cycling tour was amazing and unforgettable. Bob was so knowledgeable, when we asked lots of questions, he answered them all. I learned a lot during the tour, and it was so much fun! We want to join this tour again and would definitely recommend it to others.

I wanted a special event with my friend! Just in time, I got to know Uncle Bob's bicycle tour at the recommendation of a friend. I was scared at first because I didn't ride a bicycle for a long time, but my friend told me not to worry at all, so my friend decided to try it. In conclusion, it was a very satisfying and happy experience. How could I have such a wonderful bike trip? Mr. Bob's bicycle was so comfortable and the bicycle trip was so cool. Mr. Bob's story is so fun. That...tree...it's said to fill the gaps in the trees when building a ship... Please tell me the name of the tree again... 😆 It was a little hot, but I can't forget the cool breeze when I run on a bicycle. I want to participate in the evening tour next time. I want to see the beautiful night view while riding a bicycle. I rode my bicycle too slowly in the middle, but I was so grateful that you waited and told me the story at that time. It was a very happy bicycle trip to my boring daily life!
