We had a fantastic time! Our guide, Joanne, was fantastic. She arrived prepared with visuals to help us learn about Singapore’s history and umbrellas and wet wipes to keep us comfortable. She even had Lunar New Year gifts. The food choices were delicious and well chosen according to our preferences. It really was a great evening and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend both the tour and Joanne as your guide.
