Fantastic guide and driver, both so friendly. The guide was really knowledgeable about the areas we visited and more as we asked lots of questions we had, and she took some great photos of us too! Water was given to us which was needed as it is both a bit of driving but then a lot more walking. I would definitely recommend it. Great way to make sure you see some main sights in Singapore
