Overall rating

(257 reviews)

What a superb tour. I booked a four hour tour, gave my driver, Lynn, a list of places I would like to visit and she did the rest. She educated me about the history, culture and laws of Singapore. I learnt about the housing and education system. The timings and organisation of the tour could not have been better. A wonderful way to see areas and places away from the centre. Highly recommended.

We had 2 days in Singapore and this definitely saved money. We used it for Raffles, gardens by the bay, the walking food tour, hop on bus tour and duck your. Was easy to use and just scanned your pass code at the venue. You had to pre book the walking tour and duck tour, but instructions are included with the pass.

We had a great tour with Ping. Nothing was too much bother. The tour overran but seemed to fly by. We learnt so much but in an entertaining way. From start to finish (including lunch with the river otters) we can thoroughly recommend this tour and, if you get the chance, ask for Ping.

Ping was amazing. We had an incredible tour. When we come back to Singapore we will definitely join Ping on her other tours. The Splendid of Colonial tour is a must do.

it was a very good tour and the guide gave great insight into history of Singapore and gave plenty of information about the areas we travelled through
