This was really good for giving me tourist ideas for spending a few days in Singapore. My only qualm was that the maps are not detailed enough, some street names are not mentioned and the pull-out map did not show much outside the main area of Singapore. This edition is now two years old and two sites I wanted to see are closed for renovations - but I guess outdated information can be the nature of travel guides!

Good guide book that’s already proved its usefulness on just our 2nd day in Singapore.

Whenever I travel I like to get an idea of what to expect when I arrive at my destination. Lonely Planet always helps me assimilate to my surroundings and gives me great ideas of things to do. It also gives me a bit of history and allows me to understand the location better. One of my favorite parts is where they tell me what not to do. It's important when traveling to know what's illegal or offensive.

I picked this up at a second hand book store in anticipation of a week-long trip to Singapore. I found it very useful and fascinating. Will definitely be holding on to this one for all the long layovers I'm bound to have in the future!

I love Lonely Planet guides, and this one has all the things I was hoping for. Good info about cultural and natural attractions, places to eat and stay. My only complaint is that the ebook version doesn’t allow zooming in on the maps, so it’s kind of hard to follow the walking tour directions.

Lonely Planet travel guides are a lifesaver ♥️

Mediocre, but the tear-out map (paper!!) with MRT on one side & street map on the other is worth the price imo.

Informative and very helpful for planning my trip.

Good overviews, many ideas and good size for a book to have in your purse when walking around the city.
