The tour also includes stops at the following places:

Merlion Park: Enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay and make the most of this picture-taking opportunity with the Merlion, a mythological creature that is part lion and part fish, and the most famous icon of Singapore.

Thian Hock Keng Temple: This is one of Singapore’s oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples.

Drive past Chinatown.

National Orchid Garden: Located within Singapore Botanic Gardens, this Orchid Garden boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants.

Little India: Little India is the heart of Singapore's Indian community, and visitors can shop for everything from jasmine garlands to silk saris and silver and brassware. The smell of incense, joss sticks and jasmine hangs in the air.

At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back at your hotel after approximately four hours.

Markus Wendland

Proceeding nice and easy through the program as it is mentioned in the tour description, the value is quiet excellent: Taking the compact journey for basis of a whole day trip afterwards, you can enjoy yourself in just a fraction of the business speed which you feel all around - maybe to do some so called holiday. There is more than a short flash of a nice place to see or a spicy arome to smell. Knowing the meaning or intention of the visited places because of excellent explanation by the tour guide you get comfortable with the environment. I liked it, I recommend it.

JOHN WILSON

Very good value tour which gives a flavour of the city. Would particularly recommend it for people in Singapore for a short stay.

C Purushotham

Tour was well planned. Chinatown, Merlion and Mount Faber was good options. Overall a very quick glance of Singapore to start your trip in Merlion land.

Miss Roseanne N Kumar

Great tour! Wonderful for visitors who need to get their bearings around singapore or who are limited for time. The stops are quite short with a lot of opportunities for pictures around the city. Guides are very informative and encourage you to come back to the sights after the tour if you have time to spare!

Wir hatten in Singapur nach einer Myanmar-Reise ein Stopover für zwei Nächte gebucht und wollten als Auftakt einen Überblick über diese Megastadt bekommen, um diese dann selbst zu erobern. Die Buchung erfolgte problemlos nur die telefonische 24-Stunden-Vorherbestätigung an das örtliche Unternehmen aus einem Hotel in Yangon machte Probleme. Wir landeten in einem Callcenter mit den üblichen Anweisungen, wollen Sie dies dann drücken Sie die 1, wollen Sie das, dann drücken sie die 2 ... Das ist so schon nicht auszuhalten und von Yangon schon gar nicht, denn die Telefonanlage konnte die entsprechenden Signale nicht senden. So suchten wir ein Internetcaffee und baten isago per Mail für uns die Bestätigung durchzuführen, was dann auch mit Erfolg geschah. Pünktlich wurden wir dann in Singapur wie vereinbart vom Hotel abgeholt. Ein junger in Singapur geborener Mann mit chinesischen Wurzeln ließ uns in bestem deutsch, mit viel Humor und deutschen Insiderkenntnissen in diese Stadt eintauchen: Gleich zu Beginn präsentierte er uns die Formel 1 Strecke auf der Sebastian Vettel im September den Großen Preis von Singapur gewann. In manchen Tempeln hängt ein Stein, der die bösen Geister abhalten und Glück bringen sollen. Die SPD hat gleich zwei Steine, einen Steinmeier und einen Steinbrück. Im Botanischen Garten war die violett-mintfarbene Orchidee "Dendrobium Angela Merkel" bereits verblüht. So präsentierte unsere Giude diese auf seinem Smartphone... Rundum gelungen, diese Tour und nur zu empfehlen. Übringens sind wir wirklich eingetaucht, denn wir kammen recht nass raus. Kein Wunder bei tropischen 35° C.
