The tourist guide is good. We enjoyed our dinner at the Clarke Quay , only problem is too rushy on all the schedules no much time to go enjoy the Bugis Night Market after the Dinner .but nevertheless site seing tour was great:)

While the sights of Singapore at night are spectacular, we weren't taken to the most spectacular which is the 15 minute Laser Light Show from the roof and foreshores of the Casino down at the Marina. The Deep Fried Chinese Restaurant dinner of Soft Shell Crab, Sweet and Sour Fish and Lemon Chicken came with rice, Brocolli and Sweet corn and Chicken soup....all tasty but for me, just a bit too much deep fried. Be warned that the cost of Alcohol at Clarke Quay is outrageous. $16 for a low tide glass of wine and over $10 for a beer. Water could be had for $1 per glass. Chinatown delivers much better value and quality food.
Bugis St markets were quite good. If you are on a limited time schedule it would be still worth doing.

We enjoyed this tour. The dinner at Clarke Quay was good. Raffles was added on to our trip and enjoyed the Singapore Sling in the Long Bar. Live music playing here, a good night.

This was my least favorite of all the tours we took in Singapore. Our tour guide was not real nice-in fact he was only interseted in hearing his own voice.
Raffles Hotel was beautiful!! Dinner at Clarke Quay was good-family style cantonese.

We were not very satisfied with this tour, only Bugis market, Raffles hotel bar, dinner at clarke quay was included ( we do not eat sea food and most of the items were sea food). I think you should take the group to ore interesting places like Marina Bay sands, Buddha tooth relic temple etc. We were not satisfied with the itinerary.

The tour prospectus indicates that the dinner is at Clarke Quay, the upmarket side of the Singapore River; on our tour, our meal was at the down-market side in Boat Quay and, at best, could only be described as mediocre. The rest of the tour was as advertised but the volume of the live music in the Raffles Long Bar was so loud that it was impossible to hold a conversation.

We only went to Clarke Quay, Bugis and Raffles Hotel. You can easily go to these places on your own. The guide hardly said anything. Dinner was just ok nothing fantastic. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE SG!

The dinner was not to my taste at all. I would like to have more time at Clarke Quay, maybe on a cruise boat.

This tour needs more history of the Clarke Quay area. Basically it was just dinner and then shopping at Bugis St Night Market, which we could have done on our own.

The meal we had at Clarke Quay was disappointing, very little and poor. The Bugis market was a waste of time. Guide was very good.

Our guide Cecilia was great but I can't say the same for the way the tour is constructed. Dinner at Clarke Quay was a disappointing Chinese Banquet (about 5 dishes). Then we headed off to the harbour area. Nice to view but there was no stop for photos. Bugis night markets was next. The half hour given was sufficient to have a quick look but you can go to the markets during the day. It is not a "night only" market as it is open from 10 am to 10 pm daily. Now the Long Bar. I didn't choose to have a drink but was told by the guide that if I went to buy a sling from the bar, it would cost me S$32! The bar is not even in the original position. There was a band playing, which some may enjoy, but I found the music so loud, I could not talk with others. I recommend that you skip this tour. Go to Bugis during the day (a short walk from the city) and go to the Tiffin Room instead for high tea, or visit the Long bar during the day.

Save your money. This was not worth doing in our opinion. The meal at Clarke Quay was terrible. Who comes to Singapore to eat at a very average Chinese meal? It was not what we expected. But our tour guide was lovely and the Raffles Hotel was gorgeous but the Bugis Market was pitifully woeful and not a good place to go. It was just filled with tons of cheap stalls and really not worth the trouble.

We went to Clarke Quay and they gave us Chinese food. Go figure. Why not Malaysian or Peranakan? Then we drove around to raffles for a drink tour. Not a good tour. A bad value and waste of time.

Doing what: Raffles Hotel Singapore Half-Day Tour
Don't get me wrong, an afternoon tea at Raffles is superb and not to be missed. However, everything else is 'bitty' and seems as if it is bolted on just to make up the time. A 20 minute stop at a room in the museum, 5 minutes to photograph Raffles statue. It is NO longer a bumboat incidentally and the trip to Royal Selangor pewter works is little more than a whirlwind tour of their showroom at Clarke Quay. My advice would be to book afternoon tea direct with Raffles which leaves the afternoon free to do your own thing.

The dinner at Clarke Quay didn't offer much variety for people who don't like seafood. The visit to Bugis Street night markets was not long enough for people who like markets. The drive across the Benjamin Shears Bridge to see the skyline at night was very nice. The visit to the Long Bar at Raffles was great and the Singapore Sling was delicious. You could probably do any of the above things yourself cheaper and at your own pace.
