One of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia, Singapore is a vibrant metropolis that has both a rich cultural heritage and modern technological advancements that have merged together to provide visitors with a truly fascinating experience. With so much to see and do, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing options and there are many tours that let you soak up the sights and sounds of the city. If however, you are in search of a truly unique sightseeing adventure that provides a captivating perspective on the “Lion City”, then definitely make time to take a Duck Tour!
Duck Tours in Singapore have become a popular way of exploring the city and feature an amphibious vehicle that takes passengers both on land and water. Combining a tour that takes you through the city and along the harbour, Duck Tours are known for the use of vehicles that were originally used in the Vietnam War, but which have now been converted into these one of a kind and colourful sightseeing crafts.
The tour starts at Suntec City from where passengers will be carried away on an unforgettable journey of discovery. It is the perfect way to see the Civic District and such sites as the Cenotaph, while this exciting ride will also take you past such attractions as the City Hall building, the Padang and Victoria Theatre. There is also a tour guide who will help you get a better understanding of the attractions that you will pass.
Of course the most fun part of the tour is when the amphibious vehicle goes right into the Singapore River! As you make your way along the river you can enjoy a unique perspective of the cityscape. Among the other highlights one can expect to see while on this tour include the largest fountain in the world known as the Fountain of Wealth, the towering Singapore Flyer which is the largest observation wheel in the world, the stunning Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay performance venue and the iconic Merlion.
Travellers planning to enjoy this tour as well as explore the metropolis should look to stay at a Singapore city centre hotel such as Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore. Make your Singapore hotel reservation at this property and enjoy a centrally located base ideally situated along the Singapore River.
