5.00We chose this tour because we wanted to learn more about the different cultural districts in Singapore. Our tour guide Jolynn was so funny and interesting, and grew up in one of the shop houses in Chinatown so was able to tell us so much about how things had changed over the years which was very cool! She also bought us some Pandan cake, and helped us talk to local stall holders to buy water which was appreciated! We covered Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam and despite the heat we had a great time!

5.00We had an amazing 5-hour tour in Singapore covering Chinatown, Little India, and Arab Street, and it truly exceeded our expectations. Our guide was incredible—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the city’s history and culture. What stood out most was the depth of detail he provided. He didn’t just show us the main sights, but also took us to hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. Every stop came with fascinating stories, historical context, and thoughtful explanations that made each neighborhoods come alive.
Top rated tour - do it!

5.00We have just finished our tour with Chris Lim. Last time we were in Singapore a couple we met recommended it to us. This was, indeed, one of the best walking tours we have ever been on. It covers Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Although we have visited Singapore several times a lot of this was new to us. Chris was extremely engaging, and kindly even escorted us to the Atlas Bar once our tour was finished! It was four hours long and worth every penny. We recommend it highly!
Singapore spectacular

5.00Loved it. Sanjiv is a lovely, funny, knowledgeable and helpful guide 😁 He showed us a Singapore we could never have found on our own. He explained the history of the region and the amiable society that is constantly developing. Make sure you wear comfy shoes and sensible clothing. This is a 4-5 hour walking experience second to none.
Three cultural flavours in a morning.
