5.00As a first-time visitor to Singapore from the United States, I wanted a guide who could help me truly understand and appreciate the city—and Joanne exceeded all my expectations. Joanne is warm, friendly, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about Singapore. She not only showed me many of the city’s iconic landmarks, but also introduced me to hidden gems and local places that most tourists would never discover on their own. Her knowledge of Singapore’s history, culture, and development is impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and historical facts that brought each location to life. What I appreciated most was how engaging and personable she was throughout the tour. She made the experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable from start to finish. It was clear that she genuinely loves sharing her city with visitors. In fact, I enjoyed my first day with Joanne so much that I hired her again for a second tour the very next day! That’s probably the strongest endorsement I can give. Thanks to Joanne, I gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Singapore than I ever could have on my own. If you’re visiting Singapore and want a knowledgeable, professional, and passionate guide who can show you both the famous sights and the hidden treasures, I highly recommend Joanne. She made my first trip to Singapore an unforgettable experience.

5.00A fabulous day out with Roy, enjoying the gorgeous different areas of Singapore. Roy was friendly and engaging and tailored our tour according to our preferences perfectly! The Michelin star soy sauce chicken and Hainan chicken were the absolute highlights, but he also took us to places to try other delicacies that we never would've tried without his encouragement! Highly recommend this fabulous day out with Roy!!
Fantastic tour with Jon

5.00From the very first point where Big Jon was assigned as our guide on this tour, everything was extremely easy and fantastic. We created the itinerary, the timing, the additional points to partake in, etc. together. In fact, he was able to assist us in other tours that we booked in Singapore via different travel methods by recommending things to see. The fact that we also got to experience the MRT while on the tour with him, added an additional highlight to the tour. He was so insightful in providing us stories and information that made it all tie together and was so well laid out and informational. If we ever get back to Singapore, we would want to extend our journeys here with Jon. This tour is for anyone that wants to understand this island country and is will to walk to see the sites.
