5.00Fantastic tour and the tour guide, Jess was great. She is very knowledgeable on the history of Singapore and although I have been here a few times before I gained some new knowledge of the city. It was great to see Gardens by the Bay light show and also the light display in the harbour. This was a real bonus to the tour.

3.00The guide was lovely and very informative. Boat cruise and light shows were also very good. However, promised to be a small group, but larger than maximum pax stated on booking site. There were delays with coach transport between experiences, after the boat cruise we waited for 20 minutes for the coach to arrive, similarly after the Garden Rhapsody light show. Also, be aware that this tour doesn’t offer any priority viewing for light shows. Value for money was okay, but not necessarily cheaper than what you could arrange all experiences for yourself.
Wonderful evening in Singapore

5.00Jess was a wonderful tour guide, leading us on the river cruise and seeing the light show at Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands. She did a great job getting in touch with us prior to the tour so we knew what to expect and exactly where to meet for pick up, even including a picture of the bus. Mike from the river cruise was sk informative and enthusiastic in sharing his knowledge of the areas around the Singapore river and the history. An excellent evening tour!
Very nice evening excursion in Singapore

5.00It was an excellently organized tour. Time was everything fit and the tour guide was very friendly and extremely competent. She explained everything very well and was very informative and made sure the group stayed. I'm fine. We can recommend this tour to anyone visiting Singapore.
Not quite what we expected.

3.00Boat ride whilst still daylight and then two coach trips to different light shows that were free to the general public
Good events, but do on your own
dougbiette,Mar 8, 2026

2.00We enjoyed the boat ride and the water show at Marina Bay Sands, but next time we would do each, at our own schedule. The tour was 4+ hours, but only 1 hour and 10 minutes of entertainment (40 minute boat ride, 2 15 minute light shows). The rest was gathering, bus movements, milling around, gathering the late returners, etc. The Supertree light show was both a disappointment (not very sophisticated) and really crowded. Since it is free, people just move around or leave through it- very annoying and forget about personal space, even though it's hot and humid. Definitely plan for a shower when you get back.
A better angle

4.00Being on the water provides a better perspective of the Marina Bay and associated key buildings. Although only 40mins it was worthwhile.
A beautiful evening in Singapore!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our river tour followed by the enchanting tree lights show and capped with an incredible water show. Our guide Tang skillfully led us through all the activities without missing a beat. Highly recommended tour and guide.
