What People are Saying About Singapore DUCKtours

“The Duck tour was great. You start on land and then go into the water and then back on land all in the one vehicle. It is a guided tour around some of Singapore's most popular sights. Definitely worth the money and would do it again on our next Singapore trip.”

I love the hop on and off bus! A great way to see Singapore because it hits all the high points that you might not otherwise know to look for. I really recommend this for anyone new to Singapore, but I have enjoyed taking it on subsequent visits as well. Great fun.”

“We boarded the bus then started off to visit the various buildings and beautiful structures of the country. It was so much fun and you get to enjoy the wind in your hair and the sun in your face. It is very nice.”
