Overall rating

4.3 / 5

The pick-up arrived 25 minutes late, so be prepared for that. However, once they arrived the guide was very apologetic. The trip itself was an excellent way to learn about Singapore & its history. We were driven to 3 sites around Singapore where we got off the bus & the guide talked us through the history & then gave us a short while to look around ourselves & take photos. We finished the trip by visiting the National Orchid Garden which is absolutely stunning. Excellent trip, would fully recommend.

Beautiful gallery. It is worth going and seeing how much the art of Asian artists differs from what we are used to in Europe. For those interested in history, there are great exhibitions about how Singapore was formed. Lots of exhibitions for children. In addition, at the end you can enter the observation deck to take a picture with the panorama of the city.

Great pass, I would take it again in a heartbeat, uncomplicated reservations everywhere

Knowledgeable, friendly, many things that I would have missed with limited time.

Great value for money if you want to see almost everything in Singapore.
