Again, with compliments to Viator. I've always been very happy with your service and choice of tour guides from all over the places that I had visited. We had a wonderful dinner along Singapore River and the visit to the Raffles hotel was memorable especially after having the Singapore Sling, but I will definitely order a stronger drink next time. Thanks.

Really good value trip. Raffles hotel afternoon tea would be worth it on its own. TIP:Dont eat lunch beforehand, there is so much to eat and not just sandwiches and cake, there are some lovely asian dishes too such as steamed dumplings. Service was excellent. If going on this trip in the monsoon season,as we did(NOV)DEC) then try and take a brolly!!

The tour was very informative with highlights of the Raffles Hotel and enjoyingt an afternoon Tea buffet, the cruise on the bumboat seeing the colonial buildings, traditional chinese shops, going through the different bridges with different statues like the children hanging from the side of the river and seeing how Pewter is made. We would recommend this tour for those who enjoy the history of places or even to experience an afternoon tea buffet and bumboat ride.

Iniotially when we rung the local tour company to confirm, there was a confusion about the tour inclusions we had booked with Viator, and what they thought it included, however the next day a differnt person had it correct. Viator's support was appreciated when we were initially concerened. The Raffles High Tea was well worth it, excellent variety and quality of food, as well as the wonderful service and the whole raffles Hotel expereince. The river boat trip and Pewter factory were also very enjoyable with wonderful guides.

Good value!!! Dinner at Clarke Quay was really delicious!! Fun tour!! If ever you have an overnight in Singapore, and entering by late afternoon, then this tour is good for you! Loved it!! The tour guide was a nice sweet lady with a pleasant sense of humor! You will also like the Raffles Hotel!!! Highly addictive peanuts in the hotel bar!!! Worth every penny!

Our very knowledgable tour guide Eliza ensured that this was a most informative tour .Ending as it did in the Tiffin Room at Raffles hotel for the most amazing Afternoon Tea . The pleasure of this incredible spread was enhanced moreso by the accompanying lady harpist.

We really enjoyed this tour!!!! Our tour guide, Linda Chan, made our tour entertaining, informative and enjoyable. We really had fun going around including our taste of the Singapore sling at Raffles Hotel. Thank you and we look forward to our next visit to Singapore.

An excellent evening was enjoyed by all. A very good tour guide, a beautiful setting at Clarke Quay and an excellent dinner. The market at Bugis Street and the visit to the long bar at Raffles Hotel were exciting.

This was a fantastic tour. Picked up spot on time by a knowledgable and friendly guide. Lovely dinner overlooking the river at Clarke Quay. Plenty of top quality food. Had a short time at Bugis market. Be careful not to get lost as I nearly did as there are lots of alleyways and they all seem to look the same. Then on to the Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling. Didn't like the taste of it but at least I can now cross it off my list. Great band playing in the bar and everyone had plenty of time to mingle and dance if they wanted to. All in all a great night and I'll definitely do it again when next in Singapore.

An excellent tour which features excellent views of Singapore after the sun sets. This one started out with a wonderful dinner at Clarke Quay and then going on to the Bugis Market a good stop for chronic shopaholics. We then embarked upon the iconic Raffles Hotel and had the famous Singapore Sling in a beautiful colonial atmosphere with nostalgic songs played by a live band.

Informative tour around the riverside to explain the history behind Raffles hotel and its founder. Hghlight was obviously high tea in the hotel, expecting a tray of snacks, scones etc, what they didnt tell us prior to us eating the cakes on the table...was that we could have free access to the fantastic savoury buffet as well! A note if you intend to go to Raffles tour, do not eat previously! Certainly enjoyed ourselves.

A wonderful evening, with excellent quayside meal, brilliant stop-over at the night market, and culminating at the magnificent Raffles Hotel. Tour guide was great! This was a good value for money.

It was lovely. The dinner was excellent and the highlight of the tour was definitely the Singapore Sling at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel. Our guide was funny and ended up being our photographer...she was a gem!

A great night, especially if you are a lone traveller. It enables you to meet other people and enjoy the ambience of Raffles Hotel at night.
