4.00A pleasant evening trip along the river and Marina area followed by the light shows. The show in the Gardens by the Bay was underwhelming but the other was spectacular. The organisation of the trip from confirmation to drop off was first rate

5.00Great mox of experiences. Nice cruise in lagoon and in the river at dusk. Light show at Gardens by the Bay great. Water and light show at Sands good, but difficulty seeing it due to crowds in front.

5.00Jack was patient and well organized, and the captain had a very warm personality. Appreciated the tour operator upgrading to a 40-minute boat ride. I really enjoyed the breeze and the views along the banks. The garden by the bay show was impressive but it was kind of short.
Best tour for all these experiences in one evening!

5.00Well organized And fun tour led by the outstanding guide Jessica ! Started with a relaxing boat ride that was much longer than there vendors. The gardens are magical at night and a final light show was amazing. There is a little bit of walking but not much and we Did the hotel pick up and drop off. Jessica kept everyone moving on time because the last two events are time specific and not to be missed. Great tour and guide too !
An amazing tour at a fair price

5.00This was one of the highlights of a post cruise stay in Singapore. The communication from the tour operator was excellent. They picked us up from our hotel precisely at the time arranged. Jag our tour guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The River cruise was wonderful and a great opportunity to take some photographs of Singapore's impressive Skyline, Both light shows is something no visitor to Singapore should mess. They were incredible!

5.00Thank you to Jack for taking such thoughtful care of our parents throughout the tour. He walked side by side, assisting when needed. The group atmosphere was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed every part of the experience from the river cruise to both light shows at Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands. It was a memorable evening, and we appreciated the care, pacing, and professionalism thoroughly.
