5.00We were met in our hotel lobby, at the Holiday Inn Atrium, by Lee, An effervescent young man who escorted us to his waiting bus. We were his first guests forcthe night. After picking up the remainder of the tourists we proceeded to Singapore waterfront. Whilst travelling, Lee gave us a run down on Singapore, a little history and other pertenant information. Lee, gave us our instructions for the night and what and where we were going to, and what we were going to see. What an experience the night was, a river boat adventure, then two destinations to see night lights as they spashed across man made trees in the garden and splashed out of the water in the bay. Thankyou Lee for a fantastic evening of entertainment and knowledge. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Bruce and Jeannette Clarke
A Must do and a outstanding tour guide

5.00This tour was my highlight during my Singapore trip. Tour guide Nelson Lim was outstanding. He took photos of each Vistor during the tour and sent them to us using WhatsApp after the tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and shared his expertise where to best view the two amazing night shows. Doing the tour made it easy and efficient for me to see multiple attractions in a short period of time and made my holiday enjoyable and stress free. I highly recommend this tour.
Lovey tour

5.00We were in Singapore for just one day and wanted to experience the main tourist attractions while getting a feel for the city. Our tour guide, Nelson Lim, was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. He also recommended great places to eat and enjoy the nightlife, which made our visit even more memorable. Nelson's kindness and enthusiasm truly enhanced the experience, and the whole day felt magical. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Singapore.
Woohoo! Singapore

5.00We met on time for a short harbour cruise. Interesting to see that part of Singapore from the water. Next we went by bus to the spectacular light show set to music. All in all a really great evening.
