Eye Opener - The tour is interesting and takes you off the beaten track, even myself as a Singaporean haven’t been to some of the places included in the tour. Guide Jan is amazing and very detailed.

BEST TOUR!!! - This tour has allowed me to further understand the racial and religious harmony in this amazing small country. We learn to not just cope but live and respect each other race and culture. Many things to learn even for the locals, from differences between south and north temples to etiquette and practices for mosque and church. Thank you YAP for this wonderful tour with every second enjoyed and none are wasted.

Highly recommended! - This tour will give you a good introduction about the various religion in Singapore. Love how the whole group managed to interact with the staff / volunteer working at the various places of worship (I.e Masjid Sultan and Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple). The volunteer/ staff was very nice to set aside few mins of their time to answer to our various question. We ended the tour at Harmony In Diversity and it was the perfect place! It was air-conditioned and the location is near to the City area. There was interactive touch screen kiosk and video for us to watch. Overall, Yap did a superb job in introducing about each places of worship! Highly recommended!!!

The best tour to learn about harmony living in Singapore - This tour opened up my mind and my understanding of how different race and religion could live harmoniously together is such a small country. Being a Singaporean, I do often miss out on the small elements that made this happen (some will say that I took it for granted). The guide is very passionate and he shared and show us the various places of worship of different religions as we travelled to different parts of Singapore. I am most impressed when we visited the Sikh Temple, Khalsa Dharmak Sabha at 18 Niven Road, where we learnt about their religion and practices. The tour ends at Harmony in Diversity Gallery where we see and learn about the efforts of Inter-Religious Organisation Singapore in ensuring all religions are able to practice within Singapore harmoniously! A highly recommended tour to join!

THE TOUR GUIDE DID NOT SHOW UP! - THE TOUR GUIDE DID NOT SHOW UP! Because I read prior reviews saying that the guide had not shown up, I tried to contact the tour company prior to the arranged meeting time and got no response. I assumed that the tour would still go on as planned because they had accepted my payment so I made my way to the advertised meeting spot. I arrived more than 20 minutes early and waited for 20 minutes past the advertised meeting spot. While waiting, I phoned the tour company 3 times - no answer - and sent a message twice - no answer. Even after the guide did not show, I did not receive a response (forget about an apology for my wasted time). VIATOR SHOULD REMOVE THIS UNRELIABLE TOUR COMPANY FROM THEIR OFFERINGS! I am taken many, many tours through Viator and this is the first time that a tour guide did not show up. That is a good thing BUT continuing to advertise and sell this tour with such an unreliable company is irresponsible.

The local tour company did not notice us after change of meeting point. Waste us whole morning for chasing the tour. - We had sent a email to our local tour group, Nas tours one day before the tour, but no response at all. So We went to the meeting point as your website said ‘Little India MRT Exit E(Street Level)’. The meeting time was 8:30am. We were waiting there from 8:15 to 8:40, no one showed up, we called the local tour company at +6591517567 , as Viator offered, couple times, no one ever answered the phone. Then we sent a text message, got a message saying the meeting point was Exit B! - No one ever never told us that! Then we started chasing the tour group until 11:28. The tour guide sent a message saying the tour would end at 12:00. We gave up at that time. We had spent whole morning for nothing, even didn’t get any pictures! We never had this kind of tour trip! We ask our money back for this! Jian Huang & Tiexiang Lu

Total disregard for their customers - Under no circumstances book any tour provided by NAS Tours. Meeting time was 10am at exit E. We arrived at 9.30, every leaving or walking past had to walk by us. By 10.20 no one had arrived. Several times I rang the tour provider's number but no answer. I then rang Viator, they apologised and suggested I wait longer. By this time it was 10.30 so I said I am not waiting any longer. They offered a refund and to their credit I had it back in a few days. But this is not the point! You book a tour you expect to take the tour, not be stood up and ignored. NAS tours should be deregistered and banned from conducting further tours. I also see we aren't the first this has happened to.

Terrible experience, not recommend - Such a terrible experience. I went to the meeting point and there was no one there. Contacted the tour operator no one picked up the call. Then I called the hotline of Viator and they failed to reach the tour operator either. Then after 15mins Viator agreed the initiate the refund process. But now 4 days later I haven’t got any refund yet. I hope TripAdvisor and Viator will get this sorted out.
