An absolutely amazing personal tour experience!

5.00My wife and I had been in Singapore 35 years ago and we booked a four-hour private tour to discover the differences in Singapore since 1990. Mark promptly met us at our hotel and we did a four-hour walking tour starting at the Merlion and continuing through the various cultural heritage neighborhoods. We had a fascinating dialogue as we explored the different areas together, sharing the history of each and where the cultures stand today. This tour took us places that we would have never found on our own and provided an opportunity to ask a local about living in Singapore that would not be possible otherwise. We walked 11,000 steps on your four hour tour so if you want to see a lot and learn about Singapore on a truly personal customized tour, we strong recommend asking to tour with Mark. But be prepared to walk and explore!

5.00Roy was an excellent guide. He was informative, energetic and very accommodating to any changes we had. He also spoke English very well and took us to “secret” spots within Singapore that we would not have known to see. He is an expert on Singapore, and I would highly recommend him.
Mark was our guide....

5.00My wife and I spent close to 3 hours with Joanne, who was simply terrific. We have been to Singapore many times, but we learned so much on this trip. She took us on the subway, which we now feel comfortable using on our own. The visit to Tiong Bahru was very interesting, a part of Singapore we did not know existed, full of art deco buildings. We are coming back to Singapore this December and will definitely engage Joanne again for more adventures.
Joanne was great! ...

5.00Joanne was great! From the very beginning, our guide set the tone with warmth, professionalism, and an infectious enthusiasm for the destination. What impressed me most was the balance between deep knowledge and engaging storytelling—every landmark came alive with historical context, and little-known details that made the experience feel truly special. The logistics were handled seamlessly: clear directions, thoughtful pacing, and flexibility.
Joanne Unlocks the joy of Singapore during this walking tour

5.00I highly recommend this private walking tour with Joanne. She is eager to impart the history and cultural traditions of the Chinese, Indian and Malay people who live in Singapore. We were here for the start of the Lunar New Year and Joanne started the tour by giving us two mandarin oranges and explained the customs of gift giving at the new year. We visited the Indian, Malay and Chinese neighborhoods and sampled Teh Tarik (delicious frothy milk and condensed milk), prata (Indian flatbread) and Yusheng, a special dish eaten at the New Year. Joanne explained the symbolism behind each ingredient. Joanne also taught us how to ride the subway and gave us suggestions for the rest of our visit. Joanne's love for Singapore shines through during the tour. Joanne also sent a follow up email detailing where we had visited and what we had eaten, which is very helpful as there was so much great information to absorb. Request Joanne and unlock the joy of Singapore during your visit.

5.00Roy was a very friendly, well informed guide. This was my 7th day in Singapore, so he customized the tour to me. He even knew some special spots that gave incredible views and taught me a lot about Singapore. We started and finished right on time. It was 4 great hours in a city that I have grown to love.
