Singapore is definitely my favorite city! I was amazed t the cleanliness and the beautiful architecture. The Chef of the cooking class was really entertaining and funny! We really had a great and fun time preparing ingredients and eating! The night tour was fantastic, and the beautiful light show and The Marina Bay Sands Hotel are not to be missed. It was a great and very worthwhile tour!
Recommended for all! Our guide was excellent! She was knowledgeable, friendly and had a delightful of humor. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour.
We really enjoyed it! Our guide was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and happy to cater to our needs. We learned so much about Singapore, especially the history and cultural information which we both enjoyed. I highly recommend this tour and UME Travel.
David was a wonderful guide. He was both informative and attuned to our needs. He planned the tour to accommodate my wife's wheelchair and mobility issues...always looking for the curb cut and the easiest way around an attraction. He also gave us tips and suggestions for the entire time we were in Singapore. He’s great.
The best way to see a place in a very short time is to be shown around by a local with in depth knowledge. David not only fulfilled this but went beyond by having and itinerary worked out and wasted no time. If it was not for him we would have never seen so much of Singapore and left completely enriched and really enjoyed Singapore. Thank you David for your punctual, honest , tireless efforts.
We were two couples that had the pleasure of having David as our guide in Singapore. He is a very ambitious and flexibel guide that will do anything to accomodate your desires with a guided tour in Singapore. His great knowledge of everything from arcitecture, including etnic culture, food,to the history of Singapore was impressive. All in all, if you want a personalized tour from a proffesionial agent, UME Travel is the one for you.
