Duck & Hippo is one really good way of seeing Singapore when you are there for just about 4 or 5 days in all. We got ourselves the 2 day Singapore Pass that comes for SG$69 per ticket. We got our ticket at the Duck N Hippo counter at Suntec Galleria. The pass is valid for 48 hours so if... More

We bought the multi tour ticket believing that this would be a good way to see different things, however all the tours cover similar areas & repeat the commentary so you end up seeing & hearing the same things. With hindsight we would have been better going on the original tour & then using the MRT to get about

We've all seen the "Hop on Hop Off" tour busses, and generally, I find them a great way to see a new city. If you go on this one, make sure you hop off! I've never been on a double decker that moved so fast from point to point, they were well past any point of interest before the automated... More

Your $18.00, 45 minute river cruise will take 30 mins due to the fact they have lopped off a section of the tour. Although the have not reduced the price of it to take account of the reduction! The 5 stop tour also stops only twice. Even Timeout Magazine Singapore (April 2012, page 12) rates this as the worst cruise... More

This is the best river cruise. We also did the Singapore River Cruise and can say that this cruise is superior. There was $1 difference in price - the Singapore River Cruise took 20 minutes (was supposed to be 30 minutes) and the Hippo River Cruise took 45 minutes. They travelled the same river, but the Hippo Cruise took us... More

I went for the river cruise on 28th April 2012 using Duck & Hippo with my wife and a good friend of ours. Before I go further, let me just state that I had purchased this tour as part of a package deal through Groupon. The details of the deal are as followed: $38 for the following: Singapore Flyer Ride... More

We purchased a Multi pass which allowed us 2 day's access to the hop-on hop-off bus and boat, as well as a ride on the Singapore Flyer and a trip on the Singapore Trolley. The highlight for us was the Singapore Trolley tour which was brilliant. It's a 75 minute tour with live commentary around the highlights of the city.... More

I recommend this tour to friends who have a layover and just want a quick tour of Singapore. like all the duck tours, it's fun when the amphibious ride goes in the water and you circle the water and see the Merlion and the Esplanade. Fun for children and adults. go for it!
