Really brilliant tour. Just was a fantastic tour guide and very knowledgeable. It was a good length of tour (2.5hours) which is excellent value for money. I paid a little more as the guide was so kind and helpful (but for reference the baseline guide amount is SGD 20). Nice group size (under 20 people). Things to bring: umbrella (for shade), water, fan and suncream. The route does not offer a lot of shade or AC (nature of the sites you see and no fault of the guide - bring the recommended stuff and you’ll be just fine). All in all, excellent and highly recommend! If you get Just you will have a BRILLIANT time.
Many thanks to our guide JUST (without IN :-))! The tour was very entertaining and educational - learned a lot about the history of Singapore. Very good organization of the tour (e.g., the possibility to be able to use the restroom at the Raffles Hotel, many \"stops\" in air-conditioned areas). Stefan
