5.00Excellent overview tour of Singapore city. Visited several temples from multiple religions in the same day to compare differences and practices. Of course Singapore is a clean and easy to manage city but getting a local insight is very nice. Our guide was very professional keeping things at the right level for an I review experience.
Excellent tour!

5.00Rachel is an outstanding tour guide whose knowledge and passion for Singapore are only enhanced by her organization and adaptability. Her tour included the local attractions along with many off-the-beaten-path interesting places we never would have explored on our own. Rachel is an excellent communicator, and even played the role of official photographer for us! We highly recommend this tour when in Singapore!

5.00A wonderful walking tour of mainly Downtown and Chinatown, Singapore. Rachel was knowledgeable and professional, answering all my questions along the way. The pacing was wonderful, taking into account the hot and humid weather, with adequate stops for coolness and the happy place. Learned a lot about Singapore's history, economy and it's people's. Cannot recommend Rachel enough. She is also a great photographer.
