    · September 26th, 2025
    This was a great tour. It was well paced so we had time to relax,explore,shop and as well take the scheduled tour. This tour giave us the flexibility to things at our pace and explore the various shopping locations. . Myself and my wife did like this tour very much and I do recommend this tour as you have the flexibility to do and make the best of your free time as well. It was a perfect balance. The guides are very good. The company's customer service is impeccable. They keep you informed at every step of the way by sending the utenary a day in advance. They are flexible as well fir instance our airport pick up was scheduled for 9 am and we wanted to leVe half hour early. They coordinated the early pick up. On the last day we had dinner included and it was to try the street vendors Chinese food where the locals would like to dine. We did not see any selection we liked so we asked the guide of we can substitute with a different cuisine. And they accommodated us in a heartbeat. The tour company is very reliable and on time for their service provided.from theurvtransopryation pick up to the daily guides, from the food venues to a walk around the city. We enjoyed every aspect of this tour. The guides were knowledgeable and made Sue we had a great time. Singapore is the pla e to visit with super friendly people and top notch cleanliness.
