Great tour - knowledgeable tour guid3”e (Helen), who was engaging and explained things really well. Fort Canning has so much history.
Peter_D, Apr 2024
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Sui Sui was great and we certainly leant a lot about Singapore's history, not just Fort Canning. This tour doesn't get into the Battlebox but we booked this direct (it's free) for a 12-1pm slot so we could go straight in after the tour finished.

We booked this tour because it included a visit inside the Battle Box Bunker
I downloaded the ticket and noticed it had 2 tour start times 9am and on page 2 of the ticket
2pm. I sent a message to the tour organiser to clarify the 2 tour start times but did not
receive a reply.
Two days before the day of the tour I received a WhatsApp message informing me the tour
of the Battle Box Bunker was no longer on the itinerary as it was closed and under
refurbishment. There was no offer of a refund for missing this vital element of the tour
We arrived at the designated meeting place at 1,40pm as instructed, No one from the Tour
Organiser appeared at 2pm. The receptionist of the Canning Centre “Christina” tried to
contact the tour operator via phone but the number was unobtainable.
We visited the Free Interactive Fort Canning Heritage Centre and we were then directed to
tour the Battle Box Bunker…. Which was fully open and not under refurbishment. Entrance
to the Battle Box Bunker was free, although we did purchase for a small donation a Timed
Audio commentary of the Bunker. The staff at the Bunker were very helpful and they also
tried to contact the Original Tour operator. Again the provided number was unobtainable.
If there's only one tour start time then the Download ticket needs a serious reprint…..

Our guide, Helena, was very personable and friendly, on top of having detailed and in depth knowledge of every location and topic of the tour. She addressed everyone in the group by our names and engaged us all along the tour. Helena provided insight and information that would not be found in a book. I highly recommend taking this tour and especially with Helena.

Our guide, Helena, rounded up the 9 of us booked for the tour. (We and 1 other weren’t on her list). Her excellent commentary and care made the experience one to remember.
We learnt so much of Singapore history.
