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.

5.00Our guide, Rachel Chen, really knows her city. She took us to all the expected areas, but supplemented that to good effect by showing us into interesting places we would never have found on our own. She is full of information, and clearly likes what she does. If our experience is anything to go by, she is very adaptable and readily adjusts her plan to her client's capabilities and interests.
The joy of togetherness

5.00We had with Rachel a very empathetic, understanding and attentive companion to our individual needs. The tour was very varied and entertaining. Rachel was able to impart a lot of interesting information to us with her immense knowledge and answer all our questions. We had Rachel, an expert, competent and lively guide who had a lot of fun with her work and had a great spirit. We got a great insight into the history of Singapore, get to experience local life and learn a lot about different cultures and religions through them. She also gave us great tips on what else we should see for ourselves individually. I can only recommend a tour with Rachel from the bottom of my soul. Thank you Rachel for everything you showed us and motivated me despite illness and handicap, distracted me and gave me an unforgettable day.
