Disaster trip-avoid

patrick_m, Dec 2022

hi, a really awful trip. Bus pick up 30mins late,no guide, another pick up for him. No boat trip as advertised, a walking tour, we came unequipped for this.Then the meal, not rebooked,wandering around and ended up in a shopping mall food court, cold and tasteless food. Highlight the Raffles hotel visit with the singapore sling. Viator owe us a refund as this was a shambles and unfair pricing. Pat McDonagh

I have no complaints...

Elizabeth_L, May 2022

I have no complaints about our guide he was fantastic and very knowledgeable but the tour we booked was not the tour provided. I booked the tour because it offered a night bumboat trip down the Singapore river. This did not happen. 2 of the venues could not be entered one because of a function booking and St Andrews cathedral because of on going renovations. The dinner was not a choice between 2 dishes but just chicken and rice. A nice meal but again not what was advertised. Be very wary of booking anything with this company.

Raffles

Malcolm_R, Mar 2020

Very good trip, But we don't like cold food that we was given. The boat ride was good ,glad we did it .

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thank you for your kind comment and glad you enjoy the tour. As for the cold meal, do allow us to feedback to the supplier so that we can provide better service. Best wishes to you and your loved ones.

Meal was a let down

Michael_S, Mar 2020

Meal was extremely rushed and of poor quality. Guide was excellent. Boat trip and Raffles experience were excellent

Without tour

PatricioLucas_P, Feb 2020

They didn't contact me and missed the tour. Now, I should pay for a tour that I didn't take. Additionally, the amount paid was higher.

A great night out

Could be improved

sheenaac, Oct 2019

I think this tour was let down by the dinner at the Copthorn Hotel. There were 7 of us and we were led to a nice table by the river. We did not know the other people and there was an awkward silence. The meal was terrible, cold and tasteless. For less money a meal in a Hawker centre would be amazing. The rest of the tour was great although we hardly had any interaction with the guide.

Most enjoyable evening tour

Christine_S, Oct 2019

a very relaxing tour. Grayson was a lovely guide, very knowledgeable and professional , made the tour one to remember. River cruise enjoyable, visit to raffles Long Bar for Singapore sling a bucket list tick. All queues avoided!!

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you for your lovely review and compliments to our guides, we are glad that you enjoy the tour.

raffles

kerrie_m, Sept 2019

we were picked up on time dropped at another hotel where we had meal at table outside by water,very nice food was ok certainly better then going by other reviews although all 3 courses were dumped in front of us at once.taken by bus to quay where boarded bum boat for cruise around bay which was beautiful with the lights.then back to bus to raffles hotel where there was a long line to get into long bar but because we were in group tour got to by pass that which was wonderful.got there at 8.40 so no time to go to gift shop which was a pain but great atmosphere in the bar.had our singapore sling then another which took ages so sorry to tour guide who got held up overall a great night.dropped back in street beside hotel.dont no whether that was because guide and driver were annoyed because we were late and no aircon turned on in bus either.and guide didnt speak or say goodbye when he jumped out so i know what my guess would be. cant blame guests for slow bar service.but we didnt let that ruin a good night.

Slingpore Slings at Raffles

Elaine_H, Sept 2019

Our host for the night was great I cannot recall his name unfortunately. Dinner was ordinary but wonderful spot outside on edge of river. Some drinks and food were very slow to arrive. Boat trip was splendid some good photo opportunities. Raffles was excellent [not suitable for anyone with peanut allergies!]. It was wonderful to be in the tour and not have to wait in the long queue to get inside. Overall I enjoyed this tour if you want a foodie experience you will not get it from the dinner. As my hotel was next door to Raffles I stayed on and walked home. You can stay if you wish and are happy to make your own way home. Queue was still long to get in when I left Raffles. For me going to Raffles to have a Singapore Sling was on my bucket list so nothing else really matter apart from relaxing in the serenity of a hotel which is an institution!

High Points and Low Points

cam4234, May 2019

The evening began when we dined outside along the river. It was a nice way to start. We then went to see the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and we went up the elevator to the observation deck (54th floor?)where a wonderful view of Singapore at night was all around us. We spent some time at Burgis Street shopping which was not particularly exciting, and finished off the evening at the Long Bar home of the Singapore Sling. It is also home to Not only $32 Singapore Slings, but also $15 beers!!! WOW, we felt it was a bit pricey, but loved throwing peanut shell on the floor.

Very relaxing

Uta_H, Dec 2018

We where 11 people on the tour. We drove 10min to a hotel at the river where we had a lovely meal outside at the river watching the sunset. Drinks are very expansive so we just had our water which came with the meal. Plenty of time we watche the Xmas display in and outside the hotel. Than it was time to Buggi night markets. If you don't like little streets, than next door is a big major Shopping center. Very nice to escape the hot humidity. After that off to Raffels for a Singapore Sling. We had our tickets booked without but decided to go after all with everybody. My husband does not drink it was possible to see that wonderful place and only purchase 1 cocktail. The most expansive one I ever had. But the surroundings reminded you on an old movie set. My husband was not too well for long walking due to a reasant operation so this trip gave us still time to enjoy Singapore by night and a authentic dinner and a bit markets for 30min.The tour gide gave us incredible comentrie about the how people live in Singapore. For this price it was worth every penny.

Can’t review it

Didn’t go on the tour as it was going to the places we had already done.Had the meal at our hotel which was really good.The tour guide was a really nice man & he was so understanding that where he was taking the tour we had already done.

Anne M, Sept 2018

Dinner was just a simple meal. Tour guide was good and provided an interesting historical narration of the city while we drove through. Then took us to a place to get a view of the city at night which was appreciated as it rained the night before and was not able to get good pictures. Thanks for doing that.

The Dinner was not worth the money...

Meena_C, Apr 2018

The Dinner was not worth the money. There were too many people trying to get round a buffet counter so by the time you sat down to eat the food was cold.Also there was a lot of waiting around to actually board the coach initially.At the end of the trip we were waiting around again to be returned to our hotel as bus wasnt ready and waiting. We stopped at the Bugis Night Market not worth going as 25mins stop not really enough time to do anything worthwhile.Only saving grace fir this tour was the cocktail bar where we were able to get a great panoramic view of Marina Bay at night.

Awful from start to finish. If I...

Teresa S, Apr 2018

Awful from start to finish. If I could give no stars I would. Guide Joseph and I use this term loosely, was rude and was more interested in his mobile phone than his job. Food and restaurant wasn’t nice, cocktail finale was embarrassing as there was a private function so we we shoved in a corner.

Gail A, Mar 2018

Dinner could have been at a better restaurant. It was not the cleanest and the dinner was not the best. Drinks were great at the rooftop terrace.

Really poor tour, very disappointed...

PETER F, Mar 2018

Really poor tour, very disappointed. Our guide was not very knowledgeable and did not give much information about the city. We found out more by ourselves just walking a round the city. The Chinese meal was the worst Chinese I had ever tasted and my wife was ill Following eating hers. This restaurant should not be used for tourists, it is a disgrace. Tour was late collecting us and dropped us off 200 metres from our hotel at the end. This Singapore sling was very nice, but we were led to believe that only tours could access the smoke and mirrors bar, when in fact anyone could walk in there. This tour was not worth the money! Not a good start to our holiday, will not use Viator again anywhere in the world!

Alison, Mar 2018

John K, Mar 2018

The pick up was punctual and basically the tour drove around the city for us to enjoy the evening sights. We stopped for an hour at a bazaar which was entirely too long. The dinner was the worst I have ever encountered on a Viator tour. All the food was prepared and put on serving platters at least an hour before we arrived. The restaurant was filthy and we were the only patrons. Some of the choices were less than desirable as well. We have used Viator for many of our trips and were totally baffled with the choice of restaurants especially that we, later in the trip had the opportunity to eat in some really reasonable and popular venues in the same city. I put in a formal complaint to Viator when we came back and they are dragging their heels with an investigation which also surprises me. There are so many choices of other tours like this that you should check them out in a city as wonderful as this. Dianne Kuzminski
