“It was such a fun ride!... - “It was such a fun ride! My cycling skills were pretty bad at first due to unfamiliarity, but Aaron was quite patient and supportive, helping me get comfortable as the tour went on.

Quick bike tour! - Aaron provided great info on the dynamics of Singapore! The tour was really enjoyable. All other tours were a bit to long so the two hour time at 930 was perfect. The ride stops often for photo opportunities too

Great activity, would highly recommend. - Can't rate them highly enough, there was a bit of a mix up on the booking (our error) but they could not have been more helpful in sorting it. We ended up doing a self tour all the way round the marina which was great and would highly recommend. Apart from the Merlion and Marina Sands Bay hotel the route was very quiet and gave a really good overview of the whole marina area.

What a Great Way to See the City - What a fantastic 3hr cycle tour with Gene around Singapore. Firstly, they ensure that the bike is set up correctly for you and you test the bike on a short ride. The route is very safe and all off the roads. Gene has all the knowledge, history and fun facts. What a great way to see the city.
