Carol our guide has a real passion for what she does and it shows. We had a great evening with her. Carol’s knowledge of Singapore and its history is amazing so we had a very interesting evening. The Hawker food experience was a yummy one. Thanks Carol. Finishing off the evening at the light show was the cherry on the cake. A trip well worth it.
