I loved my tour with Pamela, one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and she made the experience so memorable. I learned a ton and if I ever return to Singapore I’ll ask her for another tour :)

A really great and economic way to see lots of Singapore! We went to Singapore over the Christmas New Year period and the only thing we wish we’d done is book things like the Ce La Vi sky bar and river cruises in advance.

mega spoko. cena super. wychodzi znacznie korzystniej niż kupowanie pojedynczych biletów do atrakcji na mieście.

Great little boat trip along the river & marina that explains the buildings & history of this area.

Great experience, good historical background, very organized and on-time.
