Singapore · HISTORICAL TOURS
14 tours

“Kevin was a great guide. He could tell us not only about the sites we were visiting but also about the customs and daily life in Singapore. By doing a tour by bike you get to see lots of venues in a relatively small time which is great if you want to get to know the city. I would recommend this tour especially on your first few days in Singapore.”
