Because we are currently not able to travel outside of Singapore, we decided to explore Singapore through someone else's perspective. We searched for some fun experiences on AirBNB and thought that this tour looked the best. Families should know that even if you have a child, through AirBNB, you have to pay full price for your child to join the tour. After paying, I realized that they would not give me the discount that is offered for children on their own site. I do think that something could be done about that situation and this is the only reason the rating is 'very good' and not 'excellent'. Richard was extremely kind and knowledgeable. We had a great time talking with him and experiencing some familiar and unfamiliar foods. The tour gave us a great range of foods found in Singapore and also some choices along the way. Richard also took some great pictures of us and he sent us promptly after the tour. We enjoyed his company and he was always willing to answer our questions as we ate or walked around; however, he also gave us some space during the tour to eat and talk as a family. I would be willing to check out some other tours with Richard as our guide, but I would definitely go through the company site so that I can get the child discount.

Our guide Daryll was knowledgeable and entertaining and the itinerary for the "Our Grandfathers Story" was well mapped. We discovered old school eating houses (i.e. restaurants) in Chinatown, learned about the cultural history of Singapore, and went for a Chinese tea tasting. I recommend the tour.

I loved my tour with Priscilla! We worked together to create an itinerary, and she did a great job of helping me make the most of my two days in Singapore. I was traveling alone, so it was nice to have a knowledgeable guide and companion. She showed me how to use the transit, and I was able to pay if forward the next day. Plus, she took suggested photo spots and took my picture, which was a fun add. She even had tickets to sell to me for attractions, so that I wouldn't have to wait in line, which was another added bonus. My only recommendation would be to ask for the additional costs in advance. I ran out of cash by the end of the tour. (There are plenty of ATMs; it wasn't huge deal.)

Rode the Blue & Yellow Big Buses in the morning, coming back to our hotel room around 1230. Found the buses to be clean and the drivers helpful and considerate. Quality of the sound from the speaker system was very good. The music became boring after a couple of tours, as it was the same on all buses. The routes had several interesting sites to see and we were happy with having selected Big Bus for our tour of Singapore
