Really amazing experience, very confronting information about the second World War (probably not for very young children), Changi Prison was deeply moving (a must for all Australians - you need to see it for yourself to appreciate the experiences of others), Temple was mind blowing, lunch was great, fabulous company, a very memorable experience.

This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Margaret was wonderful with loads of knowledge and information. A very emotional day, where we learnt more about the history of Changi and the atrocities that ooh place. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Singapore. Thanks again Margaret your knowledge was amazing and you educated us about Singapore in general too!

Amazing journey through terrible times, our tour guide was a fabulous historian with a lovely natural way of communicating the horror of war in a way that can be understood/tolerated by generations, particularly those who remain unaware of Changi. I feel much better informed of the men/women and children who had to endure the horror of Changi War camps, I felt closer to those who were tortured to death and those who survived beyond the horror. Thanks to our tour guide we emerged from the event remembering lots of information because of her ability to care and share information with us. A must see tour, worthy of much more than a couple of hours.

I have been to Singapore many times and this is the first time I have taken a tour and it was well worth it I discovered many things I did not know. The Tiger Balm Gardens where great, Lunch was good (included) and the Changi Museum was worth seeing. If you have some spare time I would do this trip. Our Guide was great and very passionate about Singapores History.

this is a good tour of areas not normally seen in Singapore. Haw Par gardens are interesting though not a lot of time is spent there. The war cemetary, Changi museum were interesting especially if yourinterested in history or the war. Lunch on the coast with views of malaysia was a nice way to get to know others on the tour and get a taste of the local food. The Buddhist temple was very interesting and we had a very funny guide Phillip who had his commentary down pat. Definately worth doing this tour.

This was a fantastic tour. My son and I enjoyed every moment of this trip. My son learn t respect for other cultures and their beliefs, especially at the Buddhist Temple. Changi museum was an eye opener to him, as he realised how a distant relative was forced to live during his internment at Changi Prison, during the 2nd World War. My son has Autism, and this tour was excellent for both him and myself to learn more about Singapore. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very funny and the luncheon was outstanding.

This was an excellent tour, moving and informative. It was great to learn first hand how life was in Changi and how many people endured a tragic time in their lives. Highly recommended.

The Kranji War Cemetery and Changi Museum were very sobering to visit, beautifully kept, a memorial to be proud of. The tour was a great way to get an overall view of the island.

this was a gem. haw par was different and the kranji and changi experience is special from a history perspective and only reinforces that there are no winners in war, only dead troops

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learnt many in-depth things about Singapore and its history. I would have liked more time at Haw Par Villa and Changi Museum. Excellent set lunch is included, but we had bad weather and I would like to redo the tour on a better day.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to give a very comprehensive overview of the Changi prison and an overview of the Japanese occupation following the fall of Singapore.

A great idea of getting around Singapore in one day, especially if time is limited. Is also a good way for you to see an area of interest, and if you have time, you are able to go back and spend more time there. Had a friendly tour guide whom made sure everyone was well looked after, sharing information and seem to enjoy his job. The lunch was also a very good way to see and learn about Singaporean food and its people; it was a great meal - (Some people on the tour need to learn how a lazy suzy is used and to take it in turns - that is not tour guides fault). I really enjoyed learning more at Changi War Museum as this is an area important to Australians. My only complaint - I could have spent longer at museum - but as I have mention above, I got to see what the museum was like, and I could have gone back later if I have more time.
