Extremely well planned & organised trip. Provided a comprehensive experience highlighting the essence of Singapore.. from our Colonial & eclectic past to modern Singapore today. Fred the host was passionate, adorable & knowledgable. Loads of photo ops.. plus special touches like the chance to savour local delicacies. Bikes were smooth & easy to ride.

(1) Our guide, Jeff, immediately offered his mobile phone for hotspot use. (2) Jeff made recommendations on where to go, what to do, and what time is best to do specific activities. (3) Our bike route passed by streets, bridges, alleys, tunnels that one would not normally pass by when walking or taking the public transportation. As a former resident in Singapore, I truly enjoyed this part and it felt like I was seeing the city state for the first time again! (4) I liked hearing Jeff's stories re: history and culture of Singapore. (5) Jeff took awesome group and individual photos!

It was an enjoyable experience! I learnt a lot about Singapore despite being born and raised here. Made me realise how much I’ve taken for granted as well. Got to take in the beautiful sights around Singapore that I have either never seen before or paid much attention to. Jeff was constantly looking out for my safety while crossing the roads/streets as well. He even helped me to take beautiful shots and showed me the best locations to take a scenic photo! Although I went alone and was initially very intimidated, it was a very comfortable and fruitful experience as Jeff is a very friendly guide. Please do not worry about going alone if your friends don’t wish to join you.
