Review Body: We recently had the pleasure of joining the "Singapore: Discover History & Culture of Lion City by Bike" tour, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Derrick, was fantastic. Despite the large group, he managed to keep us all together and entertained for the full 4 hours, which is no small feat! Derrick shared an impressive amount of facts and tidbits about Singapore, making the tour both fun and informative. We learned so much about the city's history and culture that we left feeling much more connected to the place. What really stood out was Derrick's personal touch. He even went the extra mile to create a little PDF for us with recommendations on things to do next on our trip, which we found incredibly helpful. Overall, it was a very educative experience, and we're so glad we chose this tour to kick off our Singapore adventure. Highly recommend doing it on your first or second day so that you can then choose wisely about where and how to spend the rest of your time.

Review Body: An immersive and very thoughtful way to enjoy Singapore- our guide James couldn't have had more energy for the history of his beloved city. He was fun and funny and very passionate about the places we visited. The tour itself is well organized with quick stops for quick bites along the way, as well as hydration breaks and perfectly timed bathroom breaks in thoughtfully chosen establishments. Its a lovely tour to familiarize yourself with the city, and had we had more days following this tour, we would have known about many other places to check out. Also, James was so kind to whatsapp message us other ideas for food, views, and more unique places to visit during our trip. I highly recommend this bike tour! It was exceptional.

Review Body: Jeff was a great tour guide. He made sure that we were comfortable with our bikes from the start. He did not delay our tour despite others were late (didn’t turn up in the end). He was also very informative during the tour. I learnt a lot which I think would be fantastic for all families with children. Children can learn a lot about nature. I would also recommend anyone who is adventurous and wanna know more about pulau ubin. It is a very easy trail for all cyclist. Jeff would also help us to take pictures along the way and will send it to us at the end of the tour. The tour was enjoyable and it was a great experience even though we cannot travel anymore. It brings back a little traveling atmosphere.

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: We were guided by a knowledgeable and fun loving Jeff! He showed us the other side of Singapore le that many of us, the youngsters didn’t know about!! Jeff made the entire adventure so fun and comfortable. We rode for about 17km, but don’t worry if you’re not a seasoned cyclist because the bike was very comfortable, and he made many stops along the way to take photos, storytelling or just resting. He also always ensure the safety of everyone especially when crossing the road. Not to mention, he also took amazing photos!! Highly recommend this activity if you wish to rediscover Singapore!

Review Body: (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!

Review Body: During this pandemic, this is a new way for Singaporeans to relive that experience of exploring Singapore’s beautiful landscape and rich history. There were good picture references of how certain sites looked back then, and how it developed till now. Our guide (Jeff) was insightful, patient and attentive to our group. Highly recommended for Singaporeans to explore Singapore in refreshing and fun way, and when the pandemic eases up, for tourist (who are on a short 2-3 days in Singapore) to have a breeze through Singapore’s iconic places on a fun ride with your friends and family.

Review Body: the old district and new riverside places in this manner. The bikes used were excellent quality and guide said they were all built by himself! Impressive! Suited for the young and old. Highly recommend the tour for the activity and ability to see singapore central in a relatively safe manner by bike. While some of the places had to cycle on the road,s, it did not feel dangerous as the guide helped to stop the traffic. Excellent value tour though the commentary can be better. Be proud to be IN Singapore and be proud OF Singapore and it’s way of life!

Review Body: This was an incredible tour! I wish I had planned it earlier in my trip. Our tour guide, Derrick, had a passion for Singapore that shone through and I learned so much about the history, culture and best spots to visit. From the founder Raffles to the diverse cultural villages now and the , to the modern sites of the Formula 1 track with stops along the way to cool off hydrate, and have a local snack! This was my favorite excursion my whole time here. I would recommend everyone visiting Singapore to take this tour.

Review Body: My hubby booked the trip for all 4 of us ( with a 14 y.o and an 11 y.o.). We brought our own bikes and helmets. Jeff was our tour guide and he is very knowledgeable and caring. He made sure we were always safe and guided us carefully along roads and pavements. He explained the history behind many of the monuments and roads and we learnt a lot! It's quite amazing how we can ride through the 4 main living quarters in the early Singapore! Thank you Jeff, for the wonderful experience!

Review Body: Awesome Jeff-guided bike tour in our own backyard. With the Covid-19 overseas travel restrictions, the next best thing to do is rediscover our own sites with Jeff to guide and refresh us on the historical, cultural and beautiful country that we call HOME. Highly recommend bike tours for locals and tourists. Jeff knows where is the best spot to take nice pics and at the same time, pepper you with bits and pieces of local insights. Well worth it, many times over. Thanks.

Review Body: The Bike Tour is such a nice surprise. As local I learn a lot from the tour. It began really nicely with the narration of how Singapore started and its early immigrants. Jeff brought us through the city and we are amazed at how close the different areas are. Each turn is a treat to amazing views of the city. There's enough rest and lots of trivia! We ended the tour inspired by how the people has come together in harmony here. Great tour!

Review Body: Really enjoyed the ride around the city centre of Singapore due to the tour leader Jeff who spoke very well and very highly of the forefathers of Singapore always attributing Singapore's achievements today to their hard work and acumen. I never dreamt that I would cycle right into Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Very exciting and very memorable. Just wondering if we should all wear our helmets though.

Review Body: I’ve been lived in Singapore for 1 year. Because of Covid 19, I did not come out very often. So lucky I choose to join Jeff’s bike tour. He is so nice and knowledgeable. He led us to find many secret spots of the Singapore and feel like connect to the city more after the tour. High recommended to any foreigners who never tried a BikeTour before. You will find another way of exploring Singapore with Jeff.

Review Body: Kudos to our awesome guide, Jeff, who took great care of everyone on the tour and shared his vast knowledge on the history of the places we visited. The bikes were easy to use/ handle and it allowed us to visit many places which would be difficult on foot or car. Many new things to learn and discover. My family and I enjoyed this city tour very much and would highly recommend you to give it a go :)

Review Body: First I must say the bike tour guide Jeff is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. His bikes are in very good condition so makes cycling a breeze. We signed up for the Lion City Bike Tour that takes us to the different heritage areas where we learnt so much of its history. If you have not been to one such bike tour in Singapore, I would recommend you sign up for this city bike tour.

Review Body: Jeff is very professional and friendly, he shared about Singapore that can relate to my parents' past when they first came here and how life would have been for them. I also learned more about the street names of Spore that I have never known before. I also like that the bikes are well maintained and the seats are comfortable. Do join in the tours, you will not regret.
