Well worth it! - A really great tour conducted by a guide who was clearly interested in his subject. Emhanced by stories he was able to recant from people who has loat lived ones and were visiting. Well worth going on a conducted tour just for that

World War 2 Battlefield Tour - Kranji Cemetery and Changi Prison - Singapore Battlefield tour is an excellent way to visit the Kranji Cemetery, the principal cemetery and memorial to allied forces in Singapore and Malaya and Changi prison, museum where thousands were imprisoned and Changi beach where thousands were shot. The tour was well organized, transportation was very comfortable and our guide very knowledgeable about the war and Singapore’s society today. For an in depth overview of the conduct to the defense of Singapore I recommend visiting the Former Ford Factory and Battlebox.

Singapore Battlefield Tour - We had to make our own way to meet rest of group. No probs though. Bus took us out to Kranji Memorial- he was so informative and allowed us time to wander through the different headstone sections. There was no bias in his information, it was very illuminating. Then onto Changi and a quick stop outside the Prison and more information explaining what sections are more modern, then the Replica Changi Chapel - again inspiring, with a good range of history books to buy. Onto Changi Beach, then a drive back through Singapore evening rush hr - that was also great fun seeing rush hr from a different perspective

More than just a war history tour. - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and our guide Tan is very knowledgeable. It was more than a war history tour. We learnt a lot about Singapore's military and saw areas that we would definitely have not found on our own. I think it's important to pass this history on to younger generations and hope that it is not lost. We highly recommend this tour.

Underwhelmed - Trip started an hour late and time spent at two main locations was too short. Not having the Former Ford Factory included was an error
