  This is a great way to get an education on how Singaporeans live outside the tourist bubble of the central city

  Chester (gray shirt guy), his wife Wen Tong, and their children were excellent guides! We learned so much about local culture, way of life, habits, societal mindset, and their values. They were all very informative and added their own character and important information to the tour. We really felt like we got a well-rounded look at the different aspects of their lives with great history lesson additions. The lesson about local vendor ordering of tea was really interesting. We figured the tour would be good based on what we read and how well Chester communicated with us ahead of time, but it exceeded our expectations. By the end, it felt like we were almost talking with old friends. We would highly recommend the tour and a trip to the gardens nearby afterwards as a combo.

• A unique opportunity to learn more about life in Singapore

  We can only echo what other reviewers have commented about this trip. It was the highlight of our 4 days in Singapore and a wonderful chance to see and learn more about the country. We spent 4 hours with Chester and his family, where they showed us around their local neighbourhood. It was a real privilege to be given the chance to spend time with this wonderful family who so generously provided their time and shared their knowledge about the Jurong area. We also very much enjoyed playing a game which taught us how to order coffee in their local language at their neighbourhood café. We even managed to order the right drink 😊 Chester is a dedicated teaching professional who was able to share his knowledge and passion about Singapore. He provided a great overview of the history of the local area and patiently answered all of our questions. We had a wonderful time comparing our respective cultures. Chester was also providing detailed instructions of how to get to the meeting point and even sent us links to other cultural events in Singapore, which was off the usual tourist track. We took the super-efficient MRT to Lakeside station and had a lovely walk through Jurong Lake Gardens on the way to the meeting point. It was also fascinating to see the area from the train with the huge numbers of tower blocks. Overall we were hugely impressed by this trip and absolutely loved safe, beautiful Singapore. Chester and family - we would like to reiterate our invite to visit us in Northern Ireland if you get the chance and we will show you around our little country. You certainly did your country proud! Thank you! Lilian and Meredith
