Easy and convenient - Love being able to hop on and off through out the city. Both lines covers most of the tourist attractions you'll want to see so it saves on taxis. The app also shows where the buses are so you're not in the dark on when they're coming.

Great way to see the sights - Loads of pick up points and good organisation when sorting changing lines at the central hub. Personally, we much preferred the Yellow Line. All buses very clean and tidy with pleasant staff throughout.

Good way to see Singapore - The bus was a great way to get an overview of the different areas of Singapore. The only complaint was that the audio kept cutting out and was hard to hear with the wind when the bus was moving.

Worth the money. - Enjoyed being able to get off and on. The night tour was amazing. The thing that could be improved is putting the number of the bus stop on their map on the bus signs on the road.

Singapore bus - Locating bus stops extremely confusing. Since we purchased the tickets online and boarded the bus at a stop there was no directions regarding what stops were pick up points. Other tourists also experienced same problems. Stops should be easily identified by a sticker or sign clearly stating hop on hop off bus. Once on, the tour was fine.

Good to try - Second time we have done this. We found the roads to be a lot busier and roads disrupted by the many building sites across the city. Therefore trip slow and jerky. Seats could do with an upgrade as well as not that comfortable. Second day was better as public holiday so less traffic. If possible book a public holiday or weekend for less traffic. Worth doing to get your bearings and see most of Singapore Take water and hat with you as not all seats covered.

Waste of time & money - Waste of money, maps are not clear, got on the yellow line at stop 8 & last stop was 1 & driver kicked us off, Got on the red route, pretty boring & got off the stop for marina bay which indicated it was for the gardens but no you have to work out where to cross road & get on another bus

Disappointed - Couldn’t hear the microphone. Drivers were rude. One close the door and drove off when we were just 2 feet away. Would not recommend the service in Singapore

Disappointing tour - Very disappointing bus tour. Audio wasn't very good, the commentary could hardly be heard and the ear buds provided cut in and out. It lacked information or the directions of what the commentary was talking about. For the cost, it was not value for money. The initial bus stop near the Intercontinental was hard to locate and not marked with a sign. This bus tour was not a great way to learn more about the city or get around. I wouldn't waste my time or money in the future.
