Great Way to See Light Shows

5.00This was a great trip with Omni City Tours. Our guide picked us up on time at the cruise ship and provided lots of interesting information about the nights activity. Both the light shows were fantastic, as well as the Singapore River boat ride. Our guide, Chris, did a great job of keeping us all together and moving us efficiently from one location to the next. At the end of the evening we were returned promptly to our cruise ship. I would rate this a 5 plus trip!
Amazing!

5.00This was an absolute must to do while in Singapore. I would make sure that you take the late afternoon five or 6 o’clock or evening tours when all the lights and light shows come on in Singapore Bay.

5.00Nelson was amazing!! The tour was perfect, there was the boat ride, bus ride to the Sands gardens show, then bus back to see the fountain show. Bus was air conditioned, too. Highly recommend this tour to check off all the boxes in a short amount of time.
