Love the overall experience- About ticketing I feel it was unnecessary to get the ticket printed and can be done just by scanning a QR code or something which happens usually around the world

The water tour was really good as I got to see all of the main attractions but from a different perspective. Some of the history relating to the buildings and areas was also very good. In all it was a nice and relaxing way to see Singapore
