An EXCELLENT way to see the city and learn some interesting nuggets about Singapore - Monica was amazing. She totally "read" the audience and made the tour interesting for all ages. She had great interesting facts, a great sense of humor and also did her research on where we were coming from so that she knew a few things about our home town. The pace of the tour was perfect and we appreciated the underground air conditioned parts of the tour.

Wonderful Tour - Ronnie, my tour guide, was fabulous and told me so much about Singapore I never would have known. I only had 24 hours there, so this was well worth it!

For fans of culture and history - My family went on a city highlights tour with Grayson and it was an awesome experience. We were able to soak up so much of the rich history thanks to Grayson. The tour features plenty of air conditioned sections, which is a huge bonus. He was also very mindful of my parents, who are in their 60s/70s, making sure they got breaks during the walking tour. I highly recommend doing this tour!

Highly recommend! - Monica is a fantastic guide! Friendly, easy going, full of facts, interesting information and stories. She will teach you how to get around on the MRT system. She has great tips for the rest of your stay. As a solo female traveler I found her super helpful! I moved around more comfortable on my own afterwards. I can’t recommend her enough. It is obvious she loves what she does and she’s great at it! Thank you again Monica, an unforgettable morning!

HJ gave us a fantastic introduction to Singapore - Our four hour tour with HJ gave us a fantastic introduction to Singapore. HJ was a great guide, thoughtful, happy and he clearly enjoyed sharing his extensive knowledge of Singapore with us. We visited many interesting places, had a super lunch in one of the hawker markets, walked some fascinating streets we would never have found on our own and learnt plenty about Singapore. Due to the extreme heat HJ kindly drove us in his new car to some of the sights which was a welcome relief. Thank you HJ for a wonderful afternoon.

Excellent Tour - My husband and I booked a very last minute 4 hour tour of the sights of Singapore with HJ it turned out to be a great decision. We saw so many unexpected parts of the city that only a local would know about. HJ was knowledgeable, friendly and kept a pace that was comfortable for us in the warm Singapore weather. Highly recommend

Two Thums Up for Mr. Ronnie Tan, our superb Tour Guide - It was a superb tour hosted by super tour guide, Mr. Ronnie Tan. He is a true gentleman dedicated to his task and always went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Due to short time stay in Singapore, our guests could only enjoy this half day tour with Ronnie who explained every crook and cranny we came across during the tour, bringing an added interesting dimension to the experience. Excellent Job Ronnie and hope to engage your services in the near future when we have out of town guests coming to Singapore again!

Disappointing! It was cancelled but I was not notified! - Apparently the tour was cancelled the night before but I didn’t get the cancellation. So I rushed to the venue but there was no one there and after 30mins of messaging group and stressing for potentially missing my tour, doubting I had gone to correct location, I managed to get hold of the booked guide who advised the tour had been cancelled the night before due to an emergency. I had really been looking forward to tour and hadn’t made alternative plans so now I’m leaving the country with a sense of disappointment, regret and no fond memories. If I had been told of this cancellation in advance, I would have made alternative plans.
