They left early at 7:15pm when we were scheduled for 7:30. Our friends were left onshore but they did go back and get them. The tour was more like 25 minutes not 40 minutes. Also it says e-ticket but you must get a paper ticket at the booth which is confusing.

Worst customer service experience. The operator refused to let me board, even though I produced the confirmation email from trip advisor because I didn't receive a QR code with my booking. The operator confirmed that I had the correct ferry company, date and departure time but refused boarding and told me to email trip advisor and ask for a refund. The operator did not care one bit and said there are lots of other customers in the same situation who are refused as well. I give this company zero stars and will be requesting a full refund from trip advisor.

A short but excellent way to see Singapore by night! Easy to find at Clarke Quay. Staff are very professional.

Everyone must go to this trip. The weather was good and the crowd was less. The only issue is that the place does not have Halal food

We were in the area and decided on the spur of the moment to join the cruise boat that was due to depart imminently. They waited patiently as we made our ticket purchase. The boat wasn't crowded, made one stop on the other side of the quay to collect more passengers. The tours lasted about 40mins and had a programmed audio which pointed out the main points to view. The narrative was a little childish in places but overall helpful and pointed out some things we may have missed. The trip was not expensive and quite a fun thing to do. It gives a different perspective of the buildings being on water. There was little interaction with the crew onboard yet none was necessary.

Tip is to take the cruise where you can see the light show. Our cruise was meant to depart at 8:30 for 40 minutes, but it left early at 8:18 and meant we were back at the river cruise dock before 9pm. That’s not a bad thing, but if we’d known more at the time, we would have planned to be on a river cruise that included the light show in front of Marina Bay Sands.

terrible experience as our tickets were not honoured, total waste of money and the operator just looks at you they just do not care or make any effort to rectify. they should be ashamed.

I have never had a problem purchasing through TripAdvisor and have found them a reliable way to book tickets - until this tour! To start with the price was extremely overpriced! The site notes from $34.47 AU but it actually cost $47.40! The email confirmation was in USD which was strange too! Arriving at the departure location, tickets were selling for $28 SGD or $32.88 AUD. $15 is too high a commission for a 40 minute boat ride. Then the ticket office advised no reserved time, which was frustrating as the line got longer after sunset. The boat ride was nice and we saw some lovely sites - but not for this price!
