Singapore Private Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: The driver was on time and we had a good run to the airport. I know that people state that the train is cheap (about $2) but this drops you off right at the door. Would use this service again.

Changi Village, Chapel and Museum Half-Day Tour from Singapore
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: The guide was very knowledgeable. The Changi museum was interesting and we could have had more time there instead of having a 20 minute stop at a food court. The stop at the mosque and the walk around the associated shops was interesting too.

Singapore by Night Tour with Dinner at Clarke Quay
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: 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.

Singapore Zoo Morning Tour with optional Jungle Breakfast amongst Orangutans
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: The zoo was great. We were not really interested in breakfast but it was the only way to get a photo with the orangutans. The photo with the tour title is deceptive. You do not have breakfast with the orangutans - you have breakfast in an outdoor restaurant and then queue for a photo. The orangutans are near the front tables. We didn't quite manage to see everything at the zoo so skip the breakfast if you want more time as the orangutans don't come out until about 9:30/9:45.

Sentosa Island Images of Singapore Morning Trip with optional Underwater World
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: All good: the cable car, the museum and the butterfly park. Pay the extra and go to underwater world as it is worth it.

Singapore City Tour with optional Singapore Flyer
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: Do add the flyer to the trip - it is a must and it is cheaper to add it to the city tour than to buy a separate ticket @ $29. The city tour was crowded as it was a very big group and two buses were used.

Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Singapore, Singapore
My Review: It was good to have a car to pick us up after arriving on a late flight. The car was clean but smelt a bit of cigarette smoke.

Yarra Valley Food and Wine Small Group Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Melbourne, Australia
My Review: Had a great day on this tour. Plenty of opportunities for wine tasting. The cheese tasting in the trophy room at De Bortoli didn't go as planned (just a last minute bit of cheese at the bar) but that wasn't the tour operator's fault. It seems that De Bortoli had a few staff call in sick that day. Lunch at Domaine (with 4 half glasses of wine) was the highlight. I thoroughly recommend the tour. Our host was very informative.

Mekong Delta Discovery Small Group Adventure Tour from Ho Chi Minh City
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
My Review: The tour was very interesting. Our guide Huong was very informative. We enjoyed seeing the local industries and the boat rides. The boat ride in the canal was good but a bit scary at times when the boat wobbled. This tour is not suitable for the physically disabled or infirm as the boat trip around the river required us to get on and off the boat several times.

Private Ho Chi Minh City Arrival Transfer: Airport to Hotel
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
My Review: Excellent. Our guide was there to meet us and we only had to wait a minute or two for the driver to bring the car to us. Worth the money after a long and exhausting flight.
