Insightful visit to WW2 locations
Great experience. Our guide Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable about all things Singapore- including the WW2 history. He was happy to answer questions, and didn’t rush us at all. Our group had o my 4 participants, we travelled in an air conditioned minibus between the locations. A bottle of water was provided, and toilets identified when required. I would happily recommend this tour to others. My only suggestions would be to identify the meeting place within the Paradox hotel & better clarification on the meeting time ( we were given three different times).

Shadows of War, Lessons of Peace: A Phenomenal Tour
If you want to understand the real heartbeat of Singapore beyond the modern skyline, you have to do this tour. It was an absolutely incredible experience. We learned so much more about the country’s wartime history than we ever could have on our own. Our guide, Paul, was fantastic. His depth of knowledge was amazing, but what truly elevated the day was his immense pride in his country—it shone through in every story he told. He didn't just give us facts; he made the history feel alive. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and cannot recommend Paul and this tour highly enough to any traveler!
Response from the operator: Dear Jenni, Thank you very much for your positive review and your kind feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the tour and had a memorable experience. Paul is one of our long service Tour Guide and he is always very passionate with his job and amazing experience. We hope to see you again next time. With best regards, Fay

Singapore: Battlefield Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore: Battlefield Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Singapore: Battlefield Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is Singapore: Battlefield Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Singapore: Battlefield Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Singapore: Battlefield Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore: Battlefield Tour?
+
Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore: Battlefield Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

What languages is Singapore: Battlefield Tour offered in?
+
