  1. Hi Caroline! Is this tour for SHC members or can anyone register? What’s the maximum pax and when’s the deadline for registration please?

    Thank you
    Ros

  2. Hi Rosalind
    Thanks for your interest. This tour is open to everyone including SHC members. Maximum pax is 45 people. There is no rigid deadline as it is first-come-first-served. So anyone interested just let me know and I will reserve a seat for you.

    Thanks and regards
    Caroline

  4. Hi Jassmine
    Happy New Year to you too! Sorry for the slow response as I was awaiting confirmation from the tour agent, and the guy was on leave. As the route does not pass Serangoon MRT, we will not be able to have a pickup point there. We can however, centralise the pickup point at City Hall MRT station. Hope this is more convenient for everybody.

    Thanks and regards
    Caroline

  5. Hi CarolineL,

    Thanks for your response. Think I’ll give it a miss as it’s quite a hassle getting to City Hall MRT during the morning rush hours. :(

    Rgds.
