Great experience - Our friends have visited Singapore before, but we have not. We only had one day, and I wanted to maximize the experience for my family. It was a day packed with cultural, historical, and pleasurable exploration of Singapore. Alex was an excellent tour guide and he was very patient with my son's questions. We also were able to enjoy where locals ate, thanks to him. Overall, my friends who have been to Singapore in the past experienced a unique tour, and my family appreciated the comfort and ease of the experience. We also ended in the afternoon, with enough time to rest and plan for a night out at the hawkers.

Wonderful tour - We had a great time with our tour guide, Michael Tan. He was very thoughtful and considerate throughout the whole tour. He modified the tour as needed and took his time to explain everything to us. We learned so much about Singapore history and culture. He offered to take so many awesome pictures for us throughout the tour. I’d do it again.

Outstanding - Alex was great - so great that we booked him The next day. Both days he showed up on time his car is very clean and his English excellent probably because it’s his first language. We learned so much and covered all of Singapore. He knew shortcuts on how not to stand online too long and gave us a lot of information when we did some of the sites on our own highly recommend him.

Best Private Tour Guide! - In the eight hours we had together, Alex put together a custom itinerary to make sure I made the most of the day. I got to see all the little towns that make up Singapore, Taste of variety of local cuisine, And even see the beach side. The best part was that he was a wonderful Instagram photographer as well. Highly recommend!

A must do in Singapore. - Must do this private tour. Alex, our driver and guide was Excellent. Friendly, funny, informative, accommodating. We saw so much of the city and learned a lot due to Alexs’ knowledge. Saw little India, the Arab section, amazing shopping streets that you would otherwise not know of, Floral Fantsy with 4D show, Keppel Island, Mount Faber and cable car to Santosa Island, lunch in Chinatown and Buddhist temple, river cruise around Marina Bay…so much to see. We did opt for the extras which cost a bit more but definitely worth it. Cannot speak highly enough of Alex.

Great Singapore experience - Our guide Alex was absolutely wonderful. That was the most memorable thing about our day having such an accommodating tour guide. And our lunch in Chinatown was fantastic. Plus our trip to the local authentic coffee house.

Best tour of the 12 we took in Southeast Adia - Alex was a wonderful accommodating guide. He was very easy to understand and had a wealth of knowledge of Singapore. We had been in the area for a few days, so he customized our tour on the fly based on what we still wanted to see. Transportation was very comfortable and cool. We were picked up and dropped off right in front of our hotel and each attraction. This was one of the best tours we took during our 20 day trip to southeast Asia

Good day in Singapore - Our tour was very nice, very friendly and provided interesting historical information.
As for the visiting points, I believe that some of them should be changed for more iconic things to see. For instance, I would’ve preferred to have visited the High Grove garden instead of the orchid garden, in which we spend too much time.
Other than that, it was a very good tour.
