Totally enjoyed the Chinatown Night Tour. Trishaw ride was a highlight, our guide Jossie was the best. Would recommend this tour when in Singapore.

The tour represented exceptional value for money.

Firstly a walk around Chinatown with our excellent local guide where she brought the history of the area and the 'chop houses' to life and a visit to a Chinese herbal healing clinic.

A little free time to wander the stalls to buy those great value souvenirs before dinner.

Dinner was a basic, yet tasty affair, again included in the price.

This was followed by a crazy, mad trishaw ride from Chinatown to Clarke Quay where we then boarded a bumboat for a river trip to the bay and back. Complete with interesting commentary!

Finally, the return transport to our hotel, again included in the price.

Great night, great value!

Nice food. In particular the bumboat sail on the Singapore river allowed fantastic views of the Singapore Night Skyline and the laser show from the Marina Bay Sands Hotel

This was an excellent evening excursion. We enjoyed all the separate parts of it. The market was fun to walk around, the Chinese meal was really good, the tri-shaw ride was a good experience and the river trip was stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip.

I found the sight really easy to use and booking was a breeze. A small grip as the city day pass was on special I was unable to book in the time I would be there

Great night out. Visit to Chinatown including dinner and then some free time to investigate the markets. After which we hopped into a Trishaw and led by the tour guide in his, were taken through the city streets (great fun) to Clarke Quay. There we got on board a Bumboat on the river and it went down to Marina Bay and then back, under all the colourful pedestrian bridges with riverside restaurants lining the riverbank on each side. A commentary is provided on the boat which is most informative.
At the end of the night the coach returns you to your hotel.
An absolute 'must do' evening tour.

Very organized. Good customer support when emailed with query.nRequest for confirmation booking 24 hours ahead of tour threw us a little as we were on a cruise prior to our first tour and found it difficult to contact tour office from the hotel upon arrival regarding all tours.nWhen we emailed the office regarding our problems it was promptly dealt with and it was discovered we really had no need to reconfirm booking and all went smoothly.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The fan with the 'sound' of our names on it was a nice touch. The meal was very good, market interesting but the trishaw ride was the highlight. Riding through the market and onto the busy streets was scary but exciting. The bum boat ride gave us a great night view of Singapore. Highly recommend this tour.

This was a great night! Our guide QuTee was lots of fun and everything ran like clockwork. we packed a lot in, but the tour was well paced. The trishaw ride and the river cruise were highlights, and the conclusion at Clarke Quay meant you could keep going if you so desired. Excellent tour, excellent guide and excellent value (if that is an issue for anyone) Thanks for a great time!

Food in china town very ordinary, I personally did not enjoy being pedalled by another person - I felt it a bit demeaning for the pedaller but it was a very different experience. Loved the ferry ride. Loved the Orchid garden. Hated Little India - a waste of time with only a very short walk for the time allowed. A well planned snapshot of Singapore.

My sister and I really enjoyed this tour! You get a hit of history as the coach takes you to the first stop and you score a fan with your name in chinese characters on it, and the bloke there is so sweet. Then you get about half an hour at the Chinatown markets - this is a nice taster but nowhere near long enough to do them properly, if you're a market junkie like me, but quite enough if you're not. Then you all meet up for dinner at a local chinese restaurant which is lovely and clean and blessedly air conditioned! For a table of about 10 you all get a bowl of soup, a bowl of rice and there are three platters to share. We had sweet and sour pork, a sizzling dish of ginger chicken and a massive plate of broccoli. There was plenty to eat (if you're a normal eater). Then you're packed into a whole string of little trishaws (2 to a trishaw) and then you race off through the streets of Chinatown and beyond (in the traffic!) to Clarke Quay. There are a few heart-stopping traffic moments, and the trishaws all play different music and have disco lights. This was my favourite bit! It was awesome fun! They all overtake each other and make it really exciting. Then you all board a very schmick river cruise boat and have a guided tour of the sights of the Singapore River. There are some really interesting facts to learn, without being boring or overdone and the architecture is stunning when seen at night from the river. It was a great way to wind down and finish the tour in a very relaxed way. Then you all get ferried home in little buses. Loved it! Will do it again!

I would have given the market and dinner a miss probably but very much enjoyed the trishaw ride and the boat trip with very interesting audio guide along the river. Seeing the Marina Sands Harbour area all lit up and the laser show and water foundtions etc. was a highlight for me!

Great fun night out we both really enjoyed it.
Very prompt pick up from our hotel by tour operator and excellent guide. There were 44 in our group mostly Australians so it was laughs all night the high light being 22 Tri-shaws racing through China Town and through the City streets. I think the riders had as much fun as us.
The meal and river cruise were also very good. Great value for money and a great way to finish our trip to Asia.
