From the very first communication with John from Historic War Tours and my initial inquiry about the tour, this has been an extremely positive experience. This was a well planned 2-Day tour and we had a truly memorable time. Our driver was a very safe driver and our guide was enthusiastic and very helpful. So many experiences and sites related to a family member who was a POW on the railway ... immersing ourselves in the history of the war and experiences of the prisoners of war was informative and deeply moving. Traveling along a section of the Burma-Thailand Railway and walking through Hellfire Pass was surreal. The highlight was walking across the bridge over the River Kwai and also the boat ride on the River Kwai to a floating restaurant which served delicious food. This is history that more people need to be aware of and should be a must see/do for any traveler in South East Asia.

A decisive battle. This tour guide knows his history and that of broader WWII. Personalized the visit. Half-day was just right for a quick study. Kranji War Memorial & Singapore Memorial was moving. Some Operation Jaywick heroes interned there.

We had a great time. Ms Mam our guide was extremely knowledge and passionate. The service was moving and being able to attend at such a sight and pay respects to the POWs was a privilege I will forever be thankful of. Visiting these sights was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone that is able.

From beginning to end, our experience with Historic War Tours was first class. John responded immediately to all queries with clear information. The tour was exactly as detailed and our guide and driver were pleasant, professional and extremely good. I would absolutely recommend this company.
