Jas was a fabulous guide that offered great insight with humour into history and culture of Singapore. The tour was on boat and bus in one evening was a great river experience and easy access to the gardens by the bay and the light show from Marina Bay Sands.

John Wee was an outstanding guide would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Singapore 5 star
The guide and people were nice, but the experience was not for me. I was pretty bored. The guide was very nice and funny, but he spoke very fast, broken English, and was often hard to understand. He also walked WAY TOO FAST for many people in our group, some of whom were elderly, or otherwise challenged with walking. He was nice and funny, however. But, I did not enjoy the tour. It was too hot and humid; I struggled with the humidity. The shows were fine.
Be prepared for crowds. Great trip on River. Good tour to see both light shows and river! You may have to sit on the ground at trees, so be prepared!
This was a good tour as you get to see the river and sites along with the Marina Bay Area. Light show is later and is spectacular.
Loved the tour and the tour guide Jessica , we started at the Merlion and then boarded a boat from there and later saw the 2 shows .One person from tour kept getting lost including 20 minutes after the Rhapsody garden night show .the only thing I did not like is the fact that I got a what’s app message 2 hours before the tour changing my pick up time by half hour to 5 pm which I didn’t see as I was asleep and so I had to get my own cab and I was also told that the tour would leave if I did not reach Merlion by 6 pm when they were there till 6.15 pm so pre tour was just very stressful .but all was forgotten and we had a great time and a nice drop off back to hotel as well.
This was an excellent tour with all 3 stops being exceptional. I consider all 3 to be ‘must dos’ while in Singapore. Our tour guide was passionate about Singapore and his enthusiasm was contagious. The only reason I couldn’t give this 5 stars was because my husband uses a cane and walks slower than most. Unfortunately, the tour guide did not make any accommodations for him and actually seemed incredibly insensitive to his needs. He walked very quickly in very crowded environments and although he carried an orange umbrella as a visual for his group, when you can’t keep up with his pace, we were very worried we would lose track of the group. Thankfully there was a lovely couple on our tour who gave us their front row seat on the bus and looked out for us. Many thanks to them for their great kindness. Adding sensitivity for mobility needs would have given this tour a perfect score!
This was meant to be a small group, 15-20 max. There were 27. Guide Winston gave a good imitation of Manuel from Fawlty Towers. Lots of standing around for no apparent purpose - 'now we wait here for 20 minutes'. Light shows good, but should have gone independently, not in a big group which was exactly what we wanted to avoid
Great boat ride ,enjoyed all the attractions ,guide was good but I did not like my pick up experience ,I was sent a message that my pick up was 5.25 pm and then 2 hours before I was sent a message that the pick up was 5 pm ,I set my alarm and was fast asleep when second message came through so I waited down at 5.25 pm and then saw my missed calls and I was told to get down to 1 Fullerton place by 6 pm ,otherwise tour would go away ,we rushed there stressed and frantic and we didn’t leave there till 6.20 pm .why did I get a last minute text changing pick up time ,I was jet lagged and fast asleep ,more time was spent waiting on another traveler and we got delayed by half hour at the various attractions
There is a lot of walking involved. This is advised as a river cruise but to cruise experience was only about half an hour. The rest involved a lot of walking and is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. We had to abandon the tour before the light shows.
Great for a brief summary of highlights and also no stress way to see the light shows. The light shows were spectacular. Kelvin our tour guide was so knowledgeable. We learned so much the first evening we arrived, we were able to plan our next day with his help.
Very good small group tour to see 2 beautiful night shows and sights A boat ride is during the day and is narrated to explain the sights, Well organized
Singapore River Cruise with Spectra & Garden Rhapsody And light show. A really wonderful evening. Our guide Tang was extremely informative, funny and a really great guy as well as making every effort for us to have the best possible viewing and experience. A small group which i prefer and to have the option of hotel pick up and drop off is perfect for overseas travellers.
We were very pleased with Jag, our guide. She was very organized and cognizant of the overall timing of the entire excursion. She was well informed of Singapores history and cultural aspects sharing facts and stories. She was an excellent guide giving clear instructions of what to expect, how long we had at each stop and where and when to meet up for the next stop. She made sure we were all present before going forward. She ushered us to her favorite spots for the best viewing of each event. She was pleasant and helpful taking pictures of us in front of special spots. I would highly recommend this tour and her expertise in general.
It was nice to have a ride to/from the event without using a taxi. The driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off in the evening. We had a fantastic guide. He went above and beyond, providing thoughtful service. We will definitely recommend this excursion to others.
Great tour! Fantastic tour guide "Jess", whos knowledge of Singapores history and the stunning river and garden light shows, made this a very entertaining experience.
Great way to get an overview of Singapore finishing with fantastic light shows. Guide was very knowledgeable and informative
Nelson was a great tour guide. Was very informative, funny and friendly. He recommended the best place to watch the shows and even showed us places that were not on the tour description.
Just a great experience and totally recommended.Tour guide Lee was fantastic and very knowledgeable.
Jag was a wonderful guide- professional and great sense of humour. The lights at the Garden of the bay was spectacular and light show at the Mariner was also great. Boat cruise was very informative.
This Rhapsody & Light Show is yet another free entertainment, situated within the Gardens by the Bay. Well worth experiencing, a beautiful show for all of the family, behind the Marina Sands Hotel, which is also worth seeing at night as its colours change.
This was definitely not worth the price we paid! At AU$150.00 pp with add-ons this is to be avoided, there are better deals out there! Although our guide, Jess was great and interacted well with us all, the tour was rushed and no time was given to actually enjoy the evening. Lots of walking, which was stated, but you had to be very fit to keep up. After being bussed to the cruise, which lasted approx 20 mins - not the 30 advertised because loading and unloading is included [with a second tour group] - we were raced to the Merlion and then raced back to the bus and onto the Garden lights. Spectacular and worth the long walk and many steps. One of our tour members lost us in the crowds and it was sometime before she could be located. Jess is to be commended in the way she had to handle this but it did mean more rushing to get to the Spectra Lights and a lot more walking. Lights were great and we were dropped back at the Satay Street afterwards but exhausted and feeling like we had had 4 hours in a marathon. Again, absolutely not worth it and I cannot recommend using this site, beware of the US dollar charges.
We enjoyed this evening tour of Singapore River Cruise and Spectra & Garden Show with 4 stops. William, our guide kept us update to date on pickup and drop off timings. We were picked up and dropped off on time. William explained us the history of Singapore and allowed us enough time to see the sites and shows etc. Would definitely recommend this trip.
The tour guide Colin was very knowledgeable and fun too. Loved the mix of sites and experiences- light show amazing and very organised with pick ups!
A truly great and highly recommended tour. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, well organized. A wonderful experience with music in the trees. Definitely a tour worth prioritizing.
This was a great evening and I couldn’t have asked for more. It was well organised and perfectly timed to make sure that we enjoyed a short boat ride and saw the sunset and both light shows with plenty of time to get a good position and get the best views. William was knowledgeable and gave interesting information on the history of Singapore and his organisation made sure that we had the best evening.
William is a great guide. Knowledgeable on Singapore and very attentive to group. Great caring demeanour and hope he continues to look after many more groups🏴☠️
Fantastic evening with William He is an amazing host who took care of us Very considerate of the whole group and those with mobility issues Gardens by the Bay was excellent William took us to a great spot to watch show Fountain light show awesome Loved the whole evening Thankyou William
What a wonderful ecperience, William our guide was excellent, he was super friendly, patient and efficient. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information which was great to learn about Singapore. Thank you for a great tour
A really slick tour that took in the main sights around Singapore. William was very friendly and knowledgeable. Loved it thank you
We had a great time on this tour and especially enjoyed the light show at Gardens by the Bay. Our guide William was very efficient and kept us on time while not rushing us and provided interesting stories about Singapore’s history along the way. He made sure we got back to our hotel safely at the end of the tour as well. A fun way to see the city at night!
This was my second trip to Singapore and I am so glad I went on this tour! This tour is the best way to see 4 attractions in one evening, especially with the sun setting and sky turning colors. An absolute must see!! Our guide William was great too!
William our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and very kind. The trip is well organised and i would definately advise to book this tour.
Thank you William. We had a wonderful tour and went to a lot of places we might have missed out on if we were travelling by ourselves. Thank you for your insights and information about the history and modern Singapore.
The tour was amazing we visited different sites and learned their history as well as learning Singapore’s history and there was amazing views and two thrilling light shows.
William was a wonderful guide who gave us a lot of excellent information about this beautiful country/city 😊 the light shows were stunning!
Booked in advance as didnt know the city, subway, walking times etc. Started with the 30 min cruise, interesting. Our guide william was most attentive and friendly, taking us place to place. The 2 light shows were great. But, as a cruise by itself is about 35S and the lights are free, the $135S cost meant we paid $100S each for a personal taxi. Sorry but i don't think worth it if you can manage subway, walking or gojet. If you dont want to think then this is perfect.
Seen everything and more I expected Tour guide went beyond for us. Polite and very efficient Light show at marina bay was amazing
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with our lovely tour guide Edwin. We had a relaxing cruise down the river to the Bay Area then back to Clarke Quay where we got on a comfy tour bus to see the special Lilo and Stitch themed light show at Gardens by the Bay. We then had a bonus northern lights display before we headed to the water front to see the water light show. All up we had a wonderful evening with Edwin, thank you.
Thank you Jess for a great night out in Singapore your knowledge of Singapore past and present was extremely well presented it felt like we were being shown around by a friend not just a guide. if you are in Singapore and looking for a great experience do this tour and ask for Jess you will have wonderful experience. Thanks Les and Corry
Jessica and her driver gave us a night in singapore to remember for a long time . Her knowledge of singapore and its history is great touring with her was like been shown around by a friend and not just a tour guide . If you want to see Singapore at its best she is the lady for the job. Thank you Jess for a great night out. Les and Corry
