Chan, our guide, was brilliant. He was so knowledgeable of the districts we visited and enthusiastic for Singapore in general. If you want a great guide ask for Chan. In general the tour started early to avoid the heat of the day and avoid crowds. We used the MRT to travel between the districts so walking was probably about 3kms and so very manageable. Would do the same.e tour again because there is so much to still learn about the areas.

Great to have a guide for this to advise best places to sit and he ended up waking us down some of the walking trails, loved it

Smart phone paperwork ensured a smooth entry into the Gardens which were very enjoyable.

Really worth the money relaxing good food everything you need at hand.

The price was better than buying a ticket at the counter.
