Evening tour of Singapore with River cruise

5.00Very nice experience, Jackey was our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge. Sadly we had just arrived the night before from a very long flight and couldn’t finish the whole tour. We were happy with the tour and would recommend. I felt it was a great way to see the Merlion without being too crowded.
Best way to see Singapore if you have limited time

5.00Corliss made our Singapore tour unforgettable. She is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver Nicholas was very accommodating. He provided umbrellas and didn't make us wait for the car in the rain at any stop.

5.00Our guide, Rachpal, was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. She was attentive to our wants and needs. It was clear that she loved Singapore and wanted to share her feeling about the city. She took us to major attractions as well as to places that aren't frequented by tourists. Our 1 and 1/2 days gave us a great overview of Singapore.

5.00Absolutely superb and memorable afternoon with Tang. Showed us Singapore in 5 hours with a tour full of passion and enthusiasm. Everything was perfect from the very upscale car, the meet and greet, the sites, the sounds and Singapore. Tang is a true gentleman, a very kind and warm host and we left with fantastic memories. Thank you. Highly highly recommend.

5.00I wanted a private tour of Singapore, in order to think outside the box. Carliss is a fantastic guide and she knows Singapore at her fingertips and its hidden treasures. In addition, she is smiling, jovial, attentive and attentive. To recommend.
