Mr Lee is knowledgeable, polite, and concerned he was able to provide an excellent tour. We had a good time. While the two light shows were beautiful, we delighted in the river cruise. Thank you Viator for taking care of us, yet again.

Itinerary
Start your tour at Merlion Park, where Singapore’s most iconic symbol stands proudly by the bay. This mythical creature, half lion, half fish. Represents the city’s transformation from a humble fishing village to a world class metropolis. More than just a photo spot, the Merlion tells the story of Singapore’s resilience, ambition, and cultural identity. As you admire the skyline and shimmering waters, your guide will share the legend behind the Merlion and its deep connection to Singapore’s history. The stunning city backdrop makes this an ideal place for memorable photos as the golden hour transitions into twilight. This powerful introduction to the city’s spirit sets the tone for the evening ahead, full of lights, stories, and unforgettable sights.
Clarke Quay is Singapore’s iconic riverside playground where colonial charm meets electric nightlife. Once a bustling trade hub, it’s now a vibrant hotspot lined with restored shophouses, buzzing bars, and eclectic restaurants—perfect for riverside dining or dancing till dawn. By day, it’s a scenic stroll with colorful facades and breezy boat rides; by night, the place lights up with live music, rooftop cocktails, and people-watching galore. Whether you're a foodie, partygoer, or culture hunter, Clarke Quay hits the sweet spot between historic and happening.
Step aboard a traditional Singapore River bumboat and cruise through centuries of history and progress. As you glide along the tranquil waters, iconic landmarks unfold on both banks, Boat Quay’s historic shophouses, the vibrant energy of Clarke Quay, and the sleek towers of the Central Business District. The cruise offers a refreshing breeze, panoramic skyline views, and onboard commentary that brings the river’s story to life, from its days as a bustling trade artery to its transformation into a scenic urban escape. You’ll pass under charming bridges, float past majestic civic buildings, and emerge into the stunning Marina Bay, with sights like the Fullerton Hotel, Esplanade, and Marina Bay Sands all illuminated by twilight. This river journey is more than just scenic, it's a moving experience that reveals Singapore’s soul from the water.
Gardens by the Bay is Singapore’s iconic green wonderland where nature gets a high-tech glow-up. Set against the Marina Bay skyline, it’s best known for its towering Supertrees—vertical gardens that come alive in a spectacular light and sound show each evening. Wander through lush themed gardens, cross the OCBC Skyway for panoramic views, or just chill by the waterfront as dragonflies skim across lotus ponds. It’s a surreal blend of nature, design, and sci-fi vibes that proves a garden can be anything but ordinary.
After the cruise, rejoin the bus for a short ride to Gardens by the Bay, where a breathtaking visual experience awaits. As you arrive, the towering Supertrees greet you with their glowing vertical gardens, wrapped in light and lush greenery. At the Supertree Grove, enjoy Garden Rhapsody, a captivating light and sound show where the trees shimmer and pulse in harmony with the music. The entire grove transforms into a dreamlike stage, creating a magical atmosphere that blends technology, nature, and art. It’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in Singapore, so don’t miss your chance to capture stunning photos beneath the illuminated canopy. Whether you’re watching in stillness or framing the perfect shot, this unforgettable experience adds a sense of wonder and enchantment to your evening journey.
After visiting Gardens by the Bay, board the bus once more for a short ride to the Marina Bay waterfront, where your evening concludes with the Spectra Light and Water Show. This outdoor performance features a stunning combination of dancing fountains, vivid light projections, laser effects, and an inspiring musical soundtrack. Set against the iconic Marina Bay Sands, the show tells the story of Singapore’s journey in a beautifully choreographed display of water and light. As the skyline glows and reflections shimmer across the bay, this finale offers the perfect chance to capture striking photos and soak in the energy of the city at night. It’s a breathtaking conclusion to your Singapore adventure under the stars.
Spectra. A Light & Water Show at Marina Bay Sands is a stunning visual spectacle that transforms the waterfront into a mesmerizing canvas of dancing fountains, laser beams, mist effects, and colorful projections celebrating Singapore’s journey through past, present, and future. Designed around a dramatic glass prism centerpiece, Spectra combines cutting-edge tech and storytelling to leave audiences awestruck, with shows held at the Event Plaza.
At the end of the tour, you have the option to be dropped off at your hotel or at Lau Pa Sat, one of Singapore’s most iconic late-night food destinations. This beautifully restored Victorian-style market comes alive in the evening with satay stalls lining the street, filling the air with the aroma of grilled meats and local delights. Whether you’re in the mood for a light supper or simply want to experience the buzz of Singapore’s vibrant food culture, Lau Pa Sat offers a perfect and authentic way to end your night.

Don was a great host and did a good job showing us the city and the water and light shows.
It was a wonderful time sightseeing with our very knowledgeable and personable tour guide Don but not Johnson. He gave a wonderful history lesson and took the time to assist a couple of members with us that had mobility issues.
The best experience of our trip. Host and driver was the best and not only great sites, we received a lot of history. Great evening all around!! Thank you.
This tour was perfect for seeing Singapore at night.. it hits ALL the highlights. The Gardens at the bay was especially impressive.
Last night my family (husband and 2 kids, 11 and 13) and I, went on this fabulous guided tour. Asherlee was our guide and from the very beginning he was so wonderful and caring. He always made sure no one was left behind at all the stops and ensured everyone was OK. He went above and beyond and really conversed with us about life in Singapore. The tour was spectacular, particularly the gardens by the bay light show - AMAZING! We ended the tour at Lau Pa Sat where we enjoyed a late night satay and just taking in the delights of the hawker centre. Even my kids truly enjoyed the experience. 100% I would recommend this tour and if you get Asherlee as your guide, you will indeed have an extraordinary time.
Well managed and informative tour. Would have enjoyed viewing the Marina Sands light show while on the boat rather than from the resort area.
Great evening tour that included Merlion, boat trip around the harbour and two different light shows. Lee, our host, was knowledgeable and very friendly. Recommended!
Don was a very good guide, very helpful and did a great job. Light show was amazing. Great boat trip.
Really enjoyable trip with excellent and knowledgeable guide, Lee. Well worth the cost and we would definitely recommend
The guide was excellent, had a great day
The guide, Don, was excellent and very informative. The bus driver was also excellent and very accomodating. Excellent
DON WAS A GREAT TOUR GUIDE! Very interesting to learn all the facts about Singapore and its culture. The stops on the tour were well spaced out and we always had a great viewing experience. Highly recommend!
A good experience is always made better when you get a great tour guide. Don 22 was that guide that was not only knowledgeable but friendly and fun. Highly recommended.
the Best Tourguide we had DON!!! he was welinformed about everything. showed us the secret spots to get the best vieuw at the shows. great information about the history of singapore. i will say top guide mr Don
A very informative and likeable guide Don was brilliant gave us history as well as current about Singapore. Best tour I’ve ever been on best tour guide I’ve ever had a great time would even do it again. The length of the visit was fantastic. It’s just the right amount. Got to see everything that we wanted to see I liked the choice of being able to go out for a meal afterwards or be dropped back at your motel. Don has a wealth of knowledge which she shared freely loved every attraction we went to see there was no rushing. It was a perfect amount time.
Great experience, both light, sound and water shows were amazing, guide Lee was very knowledgeable and helpful
Asher Lee was a fantastic guide and we really enjoyed this tour. Multiple stop offs at different points of interest with time to appreciate each one. Asherlee was friendly, informative and welcomed any questions. We learned lots from him about the history of Singapore and what it is like to live here as a local. Would definitely recommend the tour and Asherlee as an excellent guide
Mr Asherlee was informative and very organised. He kept a good eye on his guests, especially those travelling alone which was pleasing to see. The pace was great and the experiences offered were amazing.
Excellent knowledgable guide, flexible to adapt to weather. Knew his history and social history,
William was an entertaining and informative host. Doing a tour like this was a good way to see a few of Singapore's highlights in the one evening. We started at Fullerton One to learn some history and see the Merlion. Onto an aircon bus to Clarke Quay for the river cruise, back onto bus to Night Garden Rhapsody watching from William's secret viewing spot, then the last stop for Spectra. We were then dropped at Satay Street to finish, at 9:30, which was getting a bit late but a great way to pack things in. The group size was good, and William did a great job of keeping track of everyone's movements.
The trip was well executed and we had an enjoyable night. The guide was very informative. Would recommend
Asherlee was excellent! His descriptions of life in Singapore were very informative 👌
Late booking trip but was a good idea as the guide was great and full of info, both light shows were excellent but the crowds were very large and it was uncomfortable being in those numbers and that humidity but still worth it, the boat trip was just ok. But overall enjoyable
Don was fabulous! Great knowledge of Singapore and added humorous touches to keep us laughing. The stops were great - river cruise, light shows and sightseeing. Gave enough time and did not feel rushed. The bus rides between stops were fun as well. Thank you Don and Mr. Lee!!
William is the best! He knows his stuff and is on point with his timing.
Good trip that covers off the main attractions. Knowledgeable guide who did a great job in heading nearly 20 people!
The Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra tour was extremely well organised, with comfortable coaches making transfers between stops easy and relaxing. Our guide, Asherlee, was very informative, sharing interesting insights into Singapore’s local history and culture throughout the evening. The Night Garden Rhapsody was the standout for me—a beautiful and memorable highlight. A wonderful way to experience Singapore by night. Highly recommended!
Very informative and lively guide Volunteers a lot of information even if not directly related to the tour subject.
Great tour got to see a lot of special places including a river cruise, and two light shows. Both were fantastic.
This is an evening where you experience the best of Singapore at night--travel by bus to various different attractions -- we went on a boat ride where we learnt about the history of Singapore,al then to the gardens for a specular show before heading to the evening sound and light show
We had such an awesome time on the Singapore River Cruise. From the time we made our booking, Viator kept us up to date with the arrangements and there were no hiccups. Our tour guide Don was just the best, very friendly with such a good sense of humor. Don kept us informed right through the trip with all the facts of Singapore. I can highly recommend this Cruise and especially Don as a guide.
Don was a fabulous tour guide. He was friendly, entertaining and extremely informative. He took us to the best spots to view the light shows and the other attractions. Nothing was a bother and everything went off without a hitch. We would highly recommend him to everyone, especially to our friends and family. Many thanks Don for a very memorable night.
Our group of six had a great experience with Camilo Don (guide) and Farouk (bus driver) from 'Chope Your Tour' in Singapore. The tour had a fair number of tourists (35), so needed a comfortable Coach bus to fit us all. If I had known it would be such a big group with the need for a big bus, I might have considered alternatives. But it ended up very well, with the members of our group very satisfied. The bus was too heavy to drive up the ramp to the lobby entrance at our hotel (Andaz Singapore), so we had to walk out to the road below us (not ideal for some of us in our group who are mobility challenged). But that was probably our only negative, and understand why Don/Farouk couldn't make it any better. Just follow Don's direction and things will turn out well Every stop on the tour is worth it for a night time first timer, and Don did an awesome job of giving clear instructions so our group was on-time, and we ended right on time. The majority of people got off at the Lau Pa Sat (night market) for a late dinner, while group got dropped off back at the hotel. Any person who wanted to skip a particular event could stay on the bus and still feel safe and air-conditioned. Don was a funny and engaging guide, and Farouk was very skilled in getting the bus into places to minimize the walking (that being said, there is a fair amount of walking on the tour). He introduced himself as Don, "just like Don Johnson, without the Johnson". I'm not completely sure if he understood how they could be construed as a NSFW comment...
Really wonderful tour today. Our tour guide was Don. What a tour he gave us. So funny, informative and is so gifted, talented and he took care of us in every way. We enjoyed the light show and the cruise is our favorite. Took us to his secret spots to view the light shows. Must do tour. Just the best guide we have ever met in all our tours. He is Don. Thank you Singapore for having Don as your guide. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I’m not a tour type, but this 4 hour Singapore snapshot tour was perfect! Our tour guide William was a proud Singaporean & so knowledgeable … you could help but fall in love with Singapore ❤️
Matthew our guide knew his stuff , very informative about life in Singapore and kept us informed / entertained the whole trip , Excellent Value , enjoyed the cruise as an experience and different view of the city waterfront
Your was fantastic-very knowledgeable and friendly. The light shows were beautiful and the boat ride gave a completely different perspective.

The tour was really excellent. Don't was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of sharing interesting information. He was friendly kind and compassionate for those who needed extra time or assistance. The light shows were fantastic. Would highly recommend this tour especially if you have Don as guide and Farok as a driver. He was also extremely caring and assisted those who needed extra help.
The river cruise was really great and informative. The boat was clean and very nice. Crew was helpful especially for those needing extra time and assistance. 5 Star +++
William was a great guide. Very informative and very organized. Enjoyed his tour very much
Excellent evening tour. We visited the waterfront with the famous Singapore Lion, had a nice 30-minutes river cruise and attended two impressive lights and music shows. Matthew was excellent - he combined professionalism with in-depth knowledge of Singapore and good sense of humour. I highly recommend this tour.
Enjoyable evening excursion. Really enjoyed the light display in the gardens and the laser show. The tour was well timed and also had a relaxing boat trip around the bay. Francis the tour guide was really informative on the background, and everyday life in Singapore.
Great experience!. Our guide Dom is the best in Singapore! Very knowledgeable about the country and I learned so much while seeing such a beautiful city!
Don our tour guide was great. He showed us everything we set out to do. Was very informative on Singapores cultures, foods , sights and history. Highly recommend this tour.
William is an excellent guide. I recommend him for your next trip to Singapore!
The light shows were amazing. The river tour was relaxing. The guide was informative. The only thing missing was an opportunity for food stop.
This tour was over and above what we expected. Asherlee’s wealth of knowledge was outstanding. His communication with me was excellent. He kept us informed of pickup times, place and answered any pre pick up questions immediately via email. We were very pleased with every aspect of this tour. Thanks, from Leah and Andrew
Francis was an excellent guide and provided great pre excursion information re meet up. His commentary and organisation skills made this experience both enjoyable and stress free. Highly recommend Francis as a guide for this tour.
