I have no complaints... - I have no complaints about our guide he was fantastic and very knowledgeable but the tour we booked was not the tour provided. I booked the tour because it offered a night bumboat trip down the Singapore river. This did not happen. 2 of the venues could not be entered one because of a function booking and St Andrews cathedral because of on going renovations. The dinner was not a choice between 2 dishes but just chicken and rice. A nice meal but again not what was advertised. Be very wary of booking anything with this company.

Meal was a let down - Meal was extremely rushed and of poor quality. Guide was excellent. Boat trip and Raffles experience were excellent

Overall a good evening but with some negative points - We thoroughly enjoyed our evening but there were negatives. Our guide David was informative and looked after us well. We loved the boat trip showing us all the buildings and sites lit up at night. Really impressive!! Our visit to Raffles was exciting and it lived up to our expectations. The Singapore Sling was pretty good too. However the downside to the evening was the dinner. We had to sit outside the hotel by the river. Sounds great but with pigeons and other birds trying to get our food it wasn’t acceptable. One person in our group asked to eat inside but was told it wasn’t allowed!!! The food was lukewarm and basic. To the organisers-either choose a better restaurant or just offer the river trip and Raffles. That would leave us with a more positive memory of our evening.

Disaster trip-avoid - hi, a really awful trip. Bus pick up 30mins late,no guide, another pick up for him. No boat trip as advertised, a walking tour, we came unequipped for this.Then the meal, not rebooked,wandering around and ended up in a shopping mall food court, cold and tasteless food. Highlight the Raffles hotel visit with the singapore sling. Viator owe us a refund as this was a shambles and unfair pricing. Pat McDonagh

Cancelled 3 hours before trip - Despite booking this trip 6 weeks in advance, it was cancelled by the operator via WhatsApp 3 hours before the trip was due to start. When checking exact pick up time I was told that there had been ‘a system glitch’. Will never know how good the trip was, but the performance of the tour operator left a lot to be desired.

Without tour - They didn't contact me and missed the tour. Now, I should pay for a tour that I didn't take. Additionally, the amount paid was higher.
