We had an impressive day with Jimmy, our guide, who also took us to the most hidden corners of Singapore that we would never have found alone. Thank you also for the comprehensive explanations of many sights of the city. We can fully recommend this excursion to all visitors of Singapore who want to get a first impression. A thousand thanks, Jimmy, also for the video of our day sent to us afterwards, about which we were very happy!!!
One of the best tours in a long time!

Jimmy is very personable and he knows the history of Singapore like the back of his hand. I always have lots of questions and he could answer everything, unscripted.

We had a wonderful tour with Jimmy and learned a lot about Singapore's history. Jimmy has a very pleasant way of sharing his knowledge, and we felt in good hands. We got a good overview of the city, and he also gave us some good tips for the rest of our stay. We enjoyed the tour and can definitely recommend him.

An informative peek into the past of an area with deep cultural diversity. Story mosaics painted from a point of view of a young person snap shots the past.

The guide just cancelled on me at the last minute with no explanation whatsoever. Not sure why this person advertises on Trip Advisor if he’s going to act this way.
Really enjoyable tour

The thing we liked about this tour was how Jimmy balanced his talk to combine both history and present day Singapore. The tour went so quickly and nothing was too much bother for him. We would thoroughly recommend booking this tour - it was really interesting and informative in an enjoyable way. Thank you Jimmy for a great morning 🙏
