Hop On Hop Off
6 Comments
With the Hippo Tours, it has 2 routes on the Hop On Hop Off double decker bus. The city sightseeing and the heritage route. You can go as many times as you want. It takes 1 hour per route. The top of the bus is the open deck. The sun was scorching hot but yet there are people on the top deck. It will be bbq up there. We took the lower air condition deck to avoid being burnt. When the sun was not that hot, we went to the top to get a breeze.
I took this tour because it is suitable for my children. They don’t have to walk much, they just sit in the bus and admire the journey. The bus also goes to a few attraction spots nearby like the park, museum, china town, orchid garden, art gallery and others. We can hop off anytime and come back on when we finished with it.
At night, there is a free ride up the Hippo bus for any tourist around Orchard admiring the lights on that street. All you need to do is to take your passport to register at the SVC center at Orchard Road.
We also went for the ducktour where it is a vehicle shaped like a duck that can travel on land and river. The river cruise was good because it brings to you all the famous spots like the Merlion, Esplanade, Singapore flyer, the tobe Casino etc… Because everything comes in one package, it is quite worth it. By the way, this vacation, I didn’t do much shopping although Singapore has many mega shopping malls. I just got a present for my mom. I mean what can you buy in Singapore that you cannot get cheaper in Malaysia?

slavemom: The busses are very frequent and the wait is 15-20 minutes. You will be given a timetable so you know when they come. It is pretty accurate n on time.

Singapore seems to be your yearly destination huh? I wonder when I’m going with my kids.

Perhaps I shd bring my kids to S’pore next year. Can stay at my brother’s. The bus ride sounds interesting.

LOL..i bought tonnes of clothes fr there haha

Can’t agree more on the shopping bit. It used to be much more worthwhile buying things from Spore during their sales but last year when we were there, we also didn’t buy much coz things weren’t really that cheap.
