Great 4 hours with Aaron in Singapore - Aaron was a great host and guide for our 4 hour tour. He was prompt, personable and worked with us on what wanted to do and see. Most important he gave us a great introduction to the subway system so we could go exploring the following day. He also provided guidance and suggestions for our post tour activity. We would highly recommend him!

Great way to see Singapore - Wonderful trip. Great way to see a huge amount of Singapore, that you couldn't do on foot. Definitely a workout, so need to be prepared for a solid bike ride. We had a lunch break in a China public market that I would have never discovered on my own. I joined the larger group alone, and was very welcomed. We had people from all over the word. Colin was a great guide!

Great value…and wear comfortable shoes…and drink water - Note: Almost all tours are walking or walking/subway. If you want a riding tour, you’d better search for one and be willing to pay high $. Our guide was on time and very well versed on Singapore history, customs, and important sites. We enjoyed a half day walking tour of the cñCentral Business District, the Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, Chinatown and so much more. It was totally worth it, and the pictures we brought home were fantastic, too.

Like visiting India and the Middle East while in Singapore - After an email exchange about our interests, our tour guide Wahida took us on a guided tour of Little India and the Muslim quarter. She was very informative and personable. It was a great way to see the city. This is definitely the way to tour Singapore...

Very informative - My host Priscilla was great. She explained everything so well and took me to all sort of places. Loved it. If you are going to Singapore and looking into doing private and personalized tour; you should contact city unscripted and see if you can have Priscilla give you the tour.
