Wonderful evening

5.00We met on time for a short harbour cruise. Interesting to see that part of Singapore from the water. Next we went by bus to the spectacular light show set to music. All in all a really great evening.
Stunning light displays!

5.00Great evening experience. The two light displays were beautiful and it was lovely to see the bay by ferry. Well organised and supported by our friendly guide Tang. He was informative and ensured all people were included.
Well organised, Nelson...

5.00What a wonderful trip ! From the time we booked we felt we were in good hands. Messaged by tour guide Jessica with pick up time , bus arrived bang on time , some local history and stories before the scenic cruise which have us a greater insight into the marina and clarke quay area before jumping back on the bus to Gardens by bay and the first amazing show then back on the bus to a secret little stop to view Marina Bay Sands before the water and light show which was also quite a spectacle. I would highly recommend joining this tour rather than trying to do on your own.

5.00To start with our guide Jess picked us up from our hotel. The bus driver Bruce Lee was magnificent and the knowledge just had about everything was exceptional. There is a bit of walking and it is very hot so wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing. Would highly recommend that to an especially if Jess is your guide.
