We did not feel rushed during the 7 hour tour and Michael took our photos at all of the sights. The van was air-conditioned, clean and comfortable, and the driver drove safely. Overall an excellent and highly recommended private tour with Michael.”

Review of Singapore’s 40-minute river cruise, with Clarke Quay departures, skyline views, ticket tips, timing concerns, and honest value advice.

“This was one of the worst bookings I made through Viator. I will never book again through Viator. As I am a Google Reviewer Level 7;be sure to receive a terrible review on Google. The QR Code was missing and the two ladies at the counter said they were helpless. So I had to buy new tickets. It is my Birthday and I did not expect this!”

“Colin, the guide was excellent. His knowledge of Singapore history and life's experience was interesting. On the boat, the boat owners had compiled their own commentary on the ships tannoy system during the trip. We would have preferred to listen to one commentary only without Colin trying to give his own as well.”
