Marina Bay/Chinatown Walking tour! - Brian was a great guide. We had a few things we wanted to do, he took us there and assisted with tickets and waited while we visited the attractions. He also took us to Chinatown, where we went to 2 temples and ate at the oldest Hawker. He also made sure we got a cab back to our hotel.
Great way to go if you have a list of what you want to do.

Overview of Singapore - Great overview of Singapore. Lots of walking and use of MRT. Brian was terrific and gave us an MRT tutorial which helped us our entire stay. Booked this tour to keep active after landing the same day. Tour kept us interested and on our feet. Excellent communication from Brian before the tour.

Local knowledge saved wasting time - My wife and I only had a few days in Singapore (in transit to Malaysia) and wanted to see as much as we could in the time that we had available so organised for our guide, Joana to start the walking tour from the lobby of our hotel (near Clarke Quay) and finish somewhere near Gardens by the Bay. Joana was friendly and very helpful and showed us many interesting things that we would have missed had we been exploring on our own (eg local street art, fresh food market, temples etc) Having an extra person on hand to take photos of us at some of the most popular tourist spots was an extra bonus! Her local knowledge meant we didn't waste time as she knew the easiest route and a few short cuts (through buildings etc) which enabled us to cover a larger area than expected in the time we had available. We were also able to pick out a few places of interest we could re-visit ourselves when we had more time the following day.

Terrible experience - The tour of the city was quickly postponed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the afternoon by the assigned guide, Daryl Pohl. That was a serious and costly mistake that I agreed to. By the way, he was late!
The assigned person named Deryl Pohl had the task as part of his guided tour to get us to a specific address on time, namely at 18.30 on the island of Sentosa. A yacht tour was waiting for us afterwards. That failed him thoroughly and we arrived 30 minutes=19.00 o'clock late , 119€ damage to us. There was no time management of the man. The man is not suitable as a tourist guide! He became entangled in contradictions that could already be described as conjectures, better known as lies. Quote Daryl: "A woman would have heard that the yacht tour would be cancelled due to bad weather" By the way, there was best boat excursion weather : no wind and no rain in sight
He screwed up our Singapore stay thoroughly!
It would have been no problem to shorten the city tour so that we are on time on Sentosa. I had trusted him for what I had to pay dearly! Never again.
