The private tour was the way to go the tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us freedom also to wander along the paths at night. I really enjoyed the tribal men and the show they put on, that topped it in my opinion.

We took the private tour and were very rushed around and felt pressured, but the tour itself was very good.

The Night Safari Zoo was great, but when something is listed as a private tour you don't tend think of yourself on the Night Safari Tour with everybody else. The only part of the tour that is private is really the transportation. The guide helped a little around the zoo but everything is in English to start with. So you really don't need a English speaking guide. Create your own private tour and get a taxi, they are very cheap in Singapore.
