Australian’s on a Korean bus tour
Interesting tour , we were placed on a tour with a bus full of Korean tourists. With 5 people speaking English . They put a Korean tour guide and the wonderful Kelly as the English tour guide. They were meant to share the microphone. The Korean guide dominated the whole tour and barely gave Kelly the chance to speak . The Korean guide was extremely rude to a Kelly saying we need to share when she talked non stop !!!! For an hour . She gave no consideration to the other guests on the tour as she spoke at 100 miles an hour in Korean . Kelly was so lovely and helpful it was sad to see her treated so poorly. Not something you expect on a tour . After an hour , Kelly organised for another bus to take the 5 of us on a personal tour.which we really appreciated. It was a shame as the other guide left a real sour taste , but we don’t wish to take away from what Kelly did as she was wonderful and very informative. I hope the company considers this in the future. Ps we didn’t mind being with other Nationalities, it was more the dominance and rudeness of the guide , who obviously didn’t want English speaking people on the tour .

Terrible Service. Don't Expect a Refund
Might be one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a tour company. I booked 2 tickets for the 13th of Jan through their website. They then called me up the next day saying that no tours were available on the 13th (then why make it available on the website?). They then asked me if they can move my tour to end of next week. I told them I couldn’t as I was flying out of Singapore Monday 17th. They said ok, they’ll then refund me the money. It’s been more than a month since then and I’m still yet to receive a simple refund for 2 tickets. This is after multiple emails and phone calls. Each time they said they would give me an update soon, I wouldn’t hear anything from them until I chased them up a week or two later. Save yourself the time and money. Don’t book through them.

Disastorous Experience
Complete waste of valuable time in Singapore. You are told tom attend an office in Marina Square for pickup then driven to the light show in the park {which is free to attend!!} then driven to China town to get on a boat ride which is worth $5 and the guide abandons you there. Complete disaster and waste of valuable time and money.

Left Dissapointed
A waste of time & money. Tour guide was rude, rushed everywhere and allowed littel time to enjoy sights as she constantly babbled on about nothing e.g. China Town is called China Town because its China Town. it was pouring rain.. not companys fault but guide kept tellimg people if you have rain coat just go up stairs and sit down. finally got to river cruise but couldnt take anymore rudeness...... Tried to ask questions about cruised but could not answer she just rushed off. Go with another company.

Waste of money
Very unorganised you get rushed around told when you can and can’t use the bathroom, the bus speakers were obviously very old and you couldn’t hear a thing. We paid an extra $21 each for meal vouchers which only had the value of $5 and we were told we had to go there ourselves another day. To finish the trip we went to hop on the boat and the guide left and told us taxi stands were not far away and just took off in the bus. Do not waste your time and money on this tour!!!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 420 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night Tour?
+
Around 147 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Singapore City Lights 1Hour Open Top Night 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.
