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._br/_ 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 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.

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.

Welll organised tour, downside was the food included in the dinner was very poor.
Review by: PETER F, March 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.

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

Dinner was OK if you liked fish, everything was fish just one portion of chicken. Trip to the market was a waste of time hardly any one stayed longer than 10 minutes. We never saw the Marina Bay area or the Gardens by the Bay which are probably the highlights of Singapore.

Quite a good night, but bussed around in a mini van, so not conducive for sightseeing

The guide was great, knew his stuff, he was funny. Had a great Singapore sling in a bar with views looking over the Marins bay sands labour show. Unfortunately the Chinese restaurant we had our meal at was poor. To start we had soup which was fine, our main course we had battered lemon chicken, battered sweet sour prawn and mushroom dish with rice. It was disappointing seeing as it was Chinese New Year and was expecting something authentic and delicious. We had a mango ice cream to finish. I would recommend they change the restaurant. Bugis Street good expeience of a market but mostly selling souvenirs. Poor quality clothes etc.

Guide was good, Singapore Sling was good, dinner at Chinese restaurant was absolutely terrible.Food choice very poor, no taste, cold and scant, service poor, 7 of us sitting in a large room by ourselves - no atmosphere at all.
Review by: David T, February 2018
Disappointing. Restaurant was very poor, students passing through in constant stream, food poor. Had expected decent location with decent food. Missed most of light show, had to stand for Singapore Sling after paying 20 extra for it.

The tour is good because the company did what it has to do. although, there are some which are not so good:_br/_ 1 Bus smells terrible. it smell smoke/cigar._br/_ 2 food although, tastes good but not enough for everyone.
Review by: Larry K, February 2018
I would pass on this tour, a few of the sights were good but most of the things we did were covered on another tour,which I felt was better._br/_ The dinner was too early in the tour, and the place we had dinner was empty, it would have been better to go to a place where at least a few other customers were there

The tour got off to a good start with a very smart minibus picking us up from our hotel right on time. The friendly driver dropped us at a meeting point in Chinatown where we were allocated to a coach for the tour itself. Although our accompanying guide had a good command of English, he was difficult to understand due to a very heavy accent that made many words hard to recognise. _br/_ Shortly after the commencement of the tour we went to a Chinese restaurant for our meal - not a good experience - it was shabby and grubby and we were seated on large tables of 8 or 9 with a revolving centre with dishes holding not very large portions of food to be shared among us all. It was difficult to judge how much to take and not leave complete strangers without a helping. However the food was replenished so plentiful in the end but voted by most people on our table as probably the worst Chinese food they had ever eaten and to add insult to injury it was lukewarm. This was very disappointing when there are so many restaurants serving wonderful local food to choose from. A change of venue is highly recommended. From the meal we were taken directly to a night market and left for half an hour to shop. It was very typical of the many street markets that everyone had visited previously and not what we expected from the name of the trip Singapore by night. We thought we would have much more of a sightseeing drive around that beautiful city that has so much to offer. At this point we almost abandoned the trip to make our way back to the hotel as we were so disappointed and in fact a large group of 8 or so didn't rejoin the coach after the market stop. _br/_ They, however, missed the best part of the evening by far! Although we hadn't ordered the optional Singapore Sling, the driver invited us to join those who had on the rooftop terrace of the library/art gallery, the venue for the drinks. The view was stunning and an experience not to be missed. We bought drinks that we sipped as we soaked up the amazing spectacle before our eyes and took loads of photos. That part of the evening, in elegant and relaxing surroundings eclipsed the rest of the tour by far and made us glad we had remained with it. Eventually our guide gathered us up to return to the coach which he summoned and directed us to when it arrived. Once settled on the coach, we discovered that he hadn't joined us. There was no explanation. He didn't say goodbye or give us a chance to thank him for his efforts. The driver took us straight back to our hotel and dropped us more or less at the door._br/_ So to summarise - overall it wasn't a great trip that we'd recommend BUT the redeeming factor was the wonderful rooftop experience that made us feel it had been worthwhile putting up with the rest of it. If we ever revisit Singapore we'd definitely make our way up to the fifth floor of that building, have the drink and enjoy the view again but would give the rest of the evening a definite miss!

we had to wait a lot of time for the bus every time ._br/_ the night tour stoped for diner in a very poor restorant and brought us into a food mall as part of the tour ._br/_ we left there becauuse it was a wast of time
Review by: Elizabeth H, January 2018
The tour did not take us to many places, the dinner was fine. However, upon reaching the bar for our view of Singapore by night very breathe-catching and our Singapore Sling, there was no-where to sit as the venue was booked up!! We were hastily brought stools but guys - not really good enough!!
