Know that there are 2 buses: 1 of red color: WHICH IS YOURS and another of different light color waiting in the same place at different times. THIS IS NOT THE SAME BUS! Be careful and do not enter this different colored bus because it does not provide an explanatory guide and does not stop anywhere. He's just taking a ride around town. We had some issues, which is why we missed the real Hop on Hop off bus. But you lose your money and your explanatory tour with the other bus. I know the Singapore Hop on Hop off bus and it was exactly what you need to get your bearings and choose the places you want to visit in detail afterwards during your stay. Be careful when choosing a bus. This avoids surprises.

Easy to book on line. Allow time to cross the road to the booth to change on line booking for paper voucher, and then cross back again. The website lead me to believe I did this on the bus itself. I was grateful for the conical hat offered, although the string had been tied in a knot and I had to hold it on my head to stop it blowing off which made my arm ache. Interesting commentary, although lots of silences which could have been filled with further information. Accurate timings. Overall a superb way to get a flavour of the city. I remained on the bus the entire route, popping back to places on foot.

It is an excellent way to navigate the city in the early part of your visit. We first caught the bus at the start at 9 am and did the one hour lap. The next time we got off at a chosen stop and later used the bus to return to our hotel area. We were unable to use the bonus evening trip due to other plans. We were satisfied with the 24 hr ticket because we were happy to use taxis or walk to locations on our other days.

Reallly enjoyed the trip the guide was very very good and he lead us really well. He was really articulate and friendly.

The tour was awesome. We had a great time! The staff were helpful and kind
