Hi

I'm booked on Wild Borneo with Singapore Add-on leaving 21st Sept. I can't believe it's just over six weeks away..........

Can you let me know how many people are booked on the main tour and the add on and the age, M/F split?

Also can you confirm what is included in the optional excursion in Singapore (Gardens by the Bay)?

If I look directly on the Gardens by the Bay website it's seems to work out at about £15. 

Is transport etc.........included in the £55 Just You price? 

Thanks Paula

Good Morning Paula,

I am so excited for you! Not long to go now.

I am happy to tell you that this tout is fully booked with 19 travellers and the group is made up of 5 men and 14 women. The age ranges from late-30s to early-80s.

6 of the 19 travellers are booked on the add on.

On the Garden Bay excursion, the package price includes guide service, return transfer and all entrance fees.

Kind Regards,

Mildred

Hi Paula,

I did this tour last year and the Gardens by the Bay was a particular highlight, not to be missed!  A unique experience, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Best wishes,

Hi Paula

I also did this tour last year and can say that Gardens by the Bay was a memorable highlight, you'll love it, I guess if you did it yourself as well as finding your own way there and back once inside you'll be on your own whilst we had a guide to take us round and give us useful information, you'll also have some time to wander by yourself and time for a little shopping

all the best

Dave

Hi Dave,

I'll never forget our bossy guide telling you to put down the stuffed toy in the shop at the Gardens, that you'd have time to go shopping later!  So funny....

Cheers,

Bob

Hi Paula,

I too did the Borneo & Singapore add-on with Bob and AbbaDave. I did the Gardens by the Bay on my own, which I think was probably much cheaper than the paid excursion! I just took a taxi from the hotel and back. I managed to get a taxi no problem from the Marina Bay Sands hotel - it is worth going up to the 57th (?) floor for fantastic views (not particularly cheap but well worth it). It's up to you, but whichever way, I really really recommend the Gardens by the Bay, but if the weather is not good (thunder and lightening) you can't do the Sky Walk.

Enjoy! Singapore is wonderful.

Cheers,

Hils
