Highlights of Singapore 2024 (Merlion Park, Civic District, Little India, Chinatown, Orchard Road)

What a great trip down memory lane! I remember we were on the 10th floor of Elizabeth Towers. Is CK Tang still there and the Marriott skyscraper with the pagoda roof?

CK Tang is still there, it’s one and the same building as the Marriott with the Pagoda Roof. Most of Orchard is different than what you’d probably remember. It’s changed a lot. We didn’t really spend much time there though since we weren’t too interested in shopping.

You should get her name and complain to the Singapore Tourism Board. It is not appropriate to ask for tips for a free tour.

We don't think it's necessary to out someone like that. Judging from the strangely few negative reviews I've seen on this company, this is a recurring theme and isn't an isolated incident. It apparently is an issue with other guides as well so it's really the company as a whole rather than just one individual. Also, this sort of practice may not bother some people. Our warning is hopefully enough. Thanks for watching!

@Kenshirokan As a Singaporean, whether it is an individual or a company, this kind of behavior cannot be advocated or encouraged. It is neither the practice that the tourism board (STB) will encourage since it is labelled as free tour. Your reach is limited, so I suggest you should write to the STB to lodge a complaint so they are aware of it and can take the necessary action.
