Shane was a great tour guide and gave us a fantastic insight into Singapore's history.

Rui Heng was in an amazing tour guide. He brought us all around the most popular places and gave us so much backstory. I learned so much with my familyand I had an amazing time. He was super friendly and his attitude was so awesome. He also made sure that when anyone was hot, would go into AC to explain into the explaining outside in the heat. He was very aware of everyone’s needs and was just overall an amazing tour guide.
A big thank you to Shane, our guide for the Kampong Gelam / Haji Lane tour! We really enjoyed learning about Singapore’s rich history, its continuous evolution, and how the government has intentionally invested in the arts, heritage, and public spaces to create a well-balanced city for Singaporeans. Highly recommended!
