City Tour Begin your journey at Kampong Glam, an area where modernity meets tradition. This district has a history that dates back to Singapore’s colonial era as the allocated area to the Malay, Arab and Bugis communities.

Explore the city by driving round the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Singapore Cricket Club, historic Parliament House and the National Gallery Singapore. The Gallery consists of the former Supreme Court Building and the City Hall.

Next, stop at the Merlion Park and enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. Do not miss out this picture-taking opportunity with The Merlion, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish.

Visit Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of Singapore’s oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples, before driving past Chinatown.

Proceed to Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Singapore Botanic Gardens and walk through the National Orchid Garden which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants

Knowledgeable and professional tour guide

The tour guide was knowledgeable and professional. She was conscientious in checking to make sure she didn’t miss any guests. The tour bus was comfortable and we had a good driver. The tour was adequate. It would be helpful if we can hear the guide better.
Nice tour

Lovely tour of the city, I had a great time and I would recommend. There was a miscommunication about drop off and ended up in the wrong place but things like that happen.

Knowing were were only in Singapore for 4 days we really wanted to ensure we saw the main sites - having seen this tour recommended by someone on Facebook we decided to book and so glad we did. We were picked up from our hotel at 8.25 before picking up at 2 more stops, Where we met up with others on a different bus (about 9 o’clock) then taken by air con coach around the financial district, seeing the colourful old police station, getting out and walking around China Town into Temples and short coach journeys to obvious tourist points like the Merlin. Much better than trying to figuring out how to get from one place to another. No rushing but not having around either - 3 1/2 hours, perfect
Great idea

We were picked up at our hotel. It was a very easy and informative tour in a coach to three stops. We passed lots of buildings and bridges and were given the background to them and the history of Singapore. Our guide made sure we didn't miss anything and gave us time to take photos. We went back to two places to explore them further. In all the many years I've been visiting, there were still new things to see.
Great Experience

Great overview to the city. The group was large but the activity was well paced and a really nice way to see a lot in a short time, it was also nice to have an air conditioned bus kept cold. We met at Paradox which was convenient and left close to on time. The mosque stop could be a bit shorter but overall this is a good activity and really served it's purpose.

Need to be reasonably fit as a fair amount of walking involved. Plenty of photo opportunities. Need to carry water to keep hydrated

I chose the option to have the Tour Operator pick me up from my hotel. They did not show up. I sent several chats but NO ANSWER and NO Phone number either. After I complained to Viator they supposedly did show up but after having waited 50 minutes in the Singapore heat and humidity I had gone back to my room. Terrible service and terrible communications. I do not recommend you waste your time or money. Viator did process a refund for me.
