It was excellent for the short amount of time we had. The driver came to our hotel and dropped us back to it. As it is hard to park on the street, having a private car helps to drop you at a near location and no need to suffer. The guide was great and took us through all the heritage areas.Gave us time to also shop around. Lunch provided was very good. I recommend this trip as a first introduction to Singapore. You can see all points of interest. Our driver took us after the tour to a little drive around the common areas and to see things we couldn't with the guide.

The tour was very personalized to what we wanted to see. The vehicle was clean and new and supplied drinking water and umbrellas to each guest and since it was raining in the morning that was very helpful. The guide took us to places that we would avoid the rain and was very knowledgeable of the city and places that the regular visitor would not see. Spoke very good English and friendly. Parking in Singapore is very tough but the driver was there to pick us up after each stop. Very courteous and drove well. I would surely recommend this tour.

First time in Singapore - so wanted a professional guided tour. I was lucky enough to get Janice the tour guide and David the driver. They were both excellent. Very professional. We had an excellent experience with our tour.

Excellent tour for anyone interested in the history and heritage of Singapore! Our guide took us to several cultural locations where we could experience life in and around the markets, shrines, and temples. We also stopped at the famous Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling! Our guide was very informative, and she was very accommodating to our group!

This is worth every penny in our opinion. It is more expensive, but, you get a personalized experience. Our group tour consisted of our tour guide - Mr Rayney/Tan, our driver - Mr Wong, and the two of us. There was complete flexibility to focus on areas and items of interest to and for us. Even our lunch stop was also tailored for our tastes and budget. We got great historical information and context for all of the different sites including temples, churches, mosque and places we traveled to, as well as, having flexible amounts of time to spend at each one. What more could you ask for. We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour and we highly recommend it.
