Gerry, did an excellent job. This tour was over and beyond what I was expecting. I highly recommend doing this tour if your in Singapore. The tour started out with Gerry meeting us at our hotel. He then took us to China town where he explained the culture and heritage of the Chinese people. We did some food sampling, which was a lot of food so be prepared to eat. We then headed to Little India and the Maylay Quarters and went down Haji Street. The tour ended in Kampong Glam and he took us back to our hotel. We loved the tour so much we ended up going back to some of the places after the tour ended.

Our tour guide Gerry was very personable and caring. The arranged pickup and ride back to our hotel was very good. The food was fantastic.

Gerry was a fantastic guide! Very personable, and lots of light hearted fun along the way, while sharing his knowledge and culture with us all. Was a brilliant oversight of the history and different cultural areas of Singapore, along with experiencing their amazing food! Highly recommend this tour! Was such a great day!

This is an outstanding tour and the best I have ever been on. It's obvious Gerry is very proud of Singapore and comes his compassion comes through with talks. This is the ideal first day tour, picked up at the hotel, oriented to the variety of districts, learn how to use the MRT and bus system. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Gerry Tan was an excellent tour guide. He made sure all our needs were fully met. He provided friendly, personalized tour information. His communications were excellent and responded immediately to any questions we had. Well worth the money we paid.
