5.00The tour guides you through the history and locations of the three main communities of Singapore. We found the tour well organized, extremely informative and interesting. Our guide Mr. Quek, a third generation Singaporean, was very knowledgeable about the history and particularities of the island. We really enjoyed the experience and would warmly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Singapore. Thanks a lot for the lovely trip!

5.00Jolynn was a perfect guide: she showed me treasures I would not have discovered on my own, told me the historic background and its context and encouraged me to eat some specialities. We saw the relevant spots in all of Chinatown, Little India as well as Arab Street. Although the tour lasted several hours, it was interesting and informative all way through. Thanks to the smart usage of public transportation between the three areas, it was neither tiredsome. I enjoyed the tour with Jolynn a lot.
We had fun

We really enjoyed her style of guiding and we are grateful for the knowledge she shared with us. It was a hot day and she was always aware of the heat and comfort breaks. Well done!!!

4.00This walking tour was great . I thoroughly enjoyed Chinatown .. the temples we visited were amazing . Little India and Arab Street were super as well . Our guide was great . He showed a different side to the history of Singapore which I enjoyed . I would highly recommend this walk . The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I felt it needed a small break of around 15 mins in the middle . It’s definitely 4hrs long .
Chris is a very motivated, dedicated guide with a great knowledge of Singapore. Thank you, we have received more

5.00Chris Lim was our guide and we really enjoyed his knowledge and how comprehensive this tour was. He was a great guide. My partner and I had both been to Singapore before but saw so much on this tour that we hadn’t experienced before. If u want to get a really good insight into the various cultures making up Singapore, you will find this trip great. I really enjoyed the visit to the Hawker centre and tasting the Michelin Star spring rolls and the traditional coconut jam and butter toast with egg at the local cafe. This was something I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. We made our way between areas by public transport which was also great The tour is long in the Singapore humidity but the various breaks gave some respite along the way. I would recommended adding Socks to the list of trip notes. I wore Birkenstocks that were very comfy but it meant I had to go barefooted in some of the temples which I would have preferred not to.
Thoroughly enjoyable tour of Singapore

5.00This tour with Janet was the highlight of my solo Singapore business trip, exceeding all my expectations. If I coud adopt Janet as my "Singapore Mom" I would because she treated me like family, going above and beyond the role of tour guide. She was prompt, an excellent communicator, extremely knowledgeable about history, area, the people. I learned so much. She was a pleasure and a delight! She took photos for me since I was alone and tailored our day to my interests. I am so thankful that the universe and fate paired us together! I highly recommend this trip with Janet!
