The hop-on hop-off bus is a good cheap way to see Singapore. There are a couple of different routes to choose from - we did both. Throughout the tour, there is a running commentary providing interesting and useful information not only about the sites of Singapore, but also Singapore's history and future. We have been on the bus twice now... More

We decided to hop on hop off as we had a bus stop right at the front door of our hotel. We used it to get to Little India, Botanic Gardens, Chinatown and Orchard Road. Not bad for the $23SGD it cost, we used it through out the day, we did miss the announcement that the bus would be stopped... More

Although we got half price with our Singapore Airlines boarding pass we were not impressed. We had to get off our first bus and wait for the next one, as the busses/drivers were changing. Then later the bus ran very late. When it eventually arrived, we were kicked off that one too for the same reason. All in all a... More

We did two days worth and it was great, especially when it rained. The narration was very helpful and we loved the interesting tidbits. The drivers were helpful as far as which bus to take to see which attraction interested you and the buses were fairly timely. We had one incident where there was a pile up in Chinatown and... More

City Sightseeing tour takes many stops on Orchard road, but once you get out of the city center, you get to see the most remarkable tourist attractions. Took the Yellow City Route (East - West) for 18 SGD per person and I stayed on the bus all the way; too hot to get off :). The audio guide is difficult... More

For $23 pp adults (cash singapore money) we started on the city route and then crossed over to the Heritage route. The Heritage route had a guide talking about the... More

We would not recommend this hop on/ off bus. We thought it would be a good way to see the city. This may be true if you don't hop off anywhere. These buses take a lot of lunch breaks! We took the bus marked "The Original Tour". We paid $18 each and spent our day waiting on buses which was... More

I never covered so much of downtown Singapore with so few steps walked. The best part of the SIA Hop-on Hop-off tour is that it stops at the doorsteps of practically all tourist attractions in downtown Singapore, plus several stops along the Orchard Road shopping belt. I made stops at the Botanic Gardens/National Orchid Gardens, Clarke Quay, the legendary Raffles... More

I am not 100% sure which hop on / off bus company we used as there are several. It was the main one though and we purchased the red route. THe bus is fine when it arrives, but it certainly wasn't running every 30 minutes as advertised. We waited nearly 50 minutes at one stop only then to find it... More
