Disappointing.. Save your money and take a relaxing river boat tour with another company instead. The Ducktour boat engine is LOUD, dangerously loud that the decibels are unhealthy for your ears (take care of your kids hearing please). You cannot hear the commentary from the tour guide. I wish I knew this ahead of time because I wouldn’t have booked it. These boat vehicles are very old and dingy. The speakers are by the floor instead of above, so the commentary coming through them is muffled and covered up by the engine noise. I have seen some nicer looking DuckTour boats in other cities/countries, I think with all the complaints I am now reading about the noise of the engine, its high time DuckTours replaced their ancient vehicles with new ones before they go out of business. If you care about the tour commentary you hear during, then don’t take this tour. I wish I knew beforehand because it was my Fiancé’s first time in Singapore, so I was excited for him to learn about the city of Singapore, but alas, he literally heard nothing. We got some good pictures of the MBS, Merlion, Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the bay from the river (boat) part of the tour, and drove past the civic center area, where again, we couldn’t hear a thing the tour guide was telling us about the city. I was really disappointed. I did tell the lady at the tour desk about it, she didn’t seem to care and was just offering us to take the city hop on hop off bus tour instead, but we don’t have time for it as we have other reservations booked. I guess a partial refund would have been nice..
