“Good Tour - Really well organized trip. They even made sure we saw the Merlion. It is a very very large group and the bus / tour guide you start with, may not be the one you end with. They treat the group as one, so as long as you have the right sticker they will make sure you make it along each stop. They are very timely, so you may be rush but that’s be cause the shows are limited. Transportation home was a little chaotic. Fast paced, may not be suitable for people who like to stroll leisurely.” (Reviewed at: 2025-02-08)
