Wonderful place to visit! - Just the 2 of us on this tour. TC was wonderfully informative and had an answer for every question I asked, there were many, and was patient with my slower pace on the stairs. This is a great place to escape the crowds for a little while while you are in Singapore. I understand that the best time to visit is in the winter when the migratory birds are stopping over - maybe next time! This is a place you can come on your own but then who would answer all your questions?? :-)

Awesome adventure with TangTang - TC led us, a group of 7 pax, and was an excellent guide. He was very professional as he guided us through the route, patient with those of us who stopped regularly to take pictures, knowledgeable and shared insights and historical background to the places we visited. We love his good nature and humour and our group had so much fun during his tour. We will most definitely sign up for more TangTang Adventure tours in future !
