An unique and memorable experience to remind ourselves to appreciate our sight and what we have. The service was good and exceptional even it's in the dark. Thanks to Lynn, Pang and Looi for guided us throughout the journey with very attentive details. Give it a try and definitely recommended!…

A great way to experience the other senses when the sight is turned off. Since this walk in the dark with a cane, following tactiles and green light signals, my kids (4 & 7yo) are more aware of these features in our city.

A very cool idea!…

Truly thought provoking, this experience gives you an idea of what it is like for someone unable to see. From a personal point of view it was a practical experience that helps build empathy for the blind in our community. I also learnt about myself when faced with the loss of the sense of sight. From a professional point of view as a developer of software it provided a valuable insight into how a machine (such as a cash machine) can quickly become impossible to use for a blind person (touch screen versus metal buttons for example). Michelle was an excellent guide, helping me to adjust as we explored the different areas of the tour. I toured solo as my tour time was between other groups. I think that this tour would work really well for team building exercises as you need to speak clearly to make up for your loss of sight.…
