The challenge was you have to google map first on how to get on to and from back to bus points. But it is easy using M1/ Singtel SIM card with 100GB for 5days is more than enough.

Is Big Bus Singapore worth it? Check out these reviews!
The sightseeing bus currently has an outstanding 4.6 out of 5 star rating and has been booked more than 7k times here, which only means it’s worth taking! Here’s a review by a satisfied traveler:
The starting point wasn’t difficult to find at all. You just show your Klook QR code to one of the Big Bus guys, and they give you a little receipt that you show to the drivers when you get back on. It was raining rather heavily when we did our tour, but the bus was a good way to still go around and sightsee without having to get wet in the rain. Some tips: – Never EVER lose the receipt. Once you lose that, there’s no way they’ll let you back on the bus. – They only allow bottled drinks on the bus. No food either. – If it’s raining heavily and you still want to ride at the top of the bus (that isn’t covered), they do give you a poncho for free! – Headphones are given to you for free as well. But before you decide on the seat you’re taking, make sure the audio jack works where you’re seated! Some of the jacks don’t work and you’ll have to move seats just to hear the guide. It’s well worth listening to! Also, if you lose your headphones, you can buy another one for $2.
Customers also love the Singapore Night Tour, with one writing this helpful review: One of the best experiences we’ve encountered in Singapore. From the peaceful and tranquil Marina Barrage, the magical Gardens Rhapsody @ Gardens by the Bay, to the incredibly satisfying Hainanese Chicken and Iced Milo pairing at the Hawker Center Lau Pa Sat, we were able to breathe in Singapore. It made us fall in love with the city even more. Thank you so much for this experience. Can’t wait to book another bus night city tour with my family next time!
