Justin was a great tour guide, from the communications about logistics leading up to the tour date all the way through recommendations on how to spend the rest of my time in Singapore. He not only was very knowledgeable about the stops on the tour but also provided additional information about the history of Singapore while we were traversing the city between Little India and Kampong Glam. Highly recommend this tour and suggest bringing an empty stomach! 😅
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad that you had a great tour with Justin and got to learn about the history of Singapore while walking around Little India and Kampong Glam. We would love to host you again on another tour in the future!
William was the perfect tour guide - very friendly; was obviously keen to share about his culture; was able to accommodate our two young boys by condensing the information component of our tour; introduced us to numerous delicious local dishes (which we wouldn’t have otherwise tried); and even made contact with us before our tour, sending us directions and a map so that we were able to negotiate the MRT with confidence to our meeting point. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him for your Little India and Kampong Glam walking tour - it was a real highlight of our Singapore stay. Thank you so much William.

Our tour guide Justin was great, he met us on time at our hotel and explained what we would be going to do and see before we left. He was very informative and made sure we had lots of regular refreshments as it was so hot. We ate lots of the local food and each one was explained by him. He explained how to use the underground so that we'd have the confidence to use it to get around by ourselves after the tour. Highly recommend, lovely chap xx

Our Guide Christine was amazing. Friendly, professional, highly knowledgeable and great customer service. She was easy to speak to, gave us some interesting insights and made the whole trip very enjoyable. She often stopped to ask if we had any questions. She tailored to food portions of the outing to my food allergies and preferences. I give her a 5 star rating. Thanks Christine for making out day special. Wayne and Linnet Western Australia
Dear Wayne and Linnet, thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed your tour and got to try local dishes while learning more about Singapore. We would love to welcome you again the next time you're in Singapore!
William was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. He gave us a great overview of the history of Singapore overall and more specifics on little India and Kampong Glam. This tour was more focused on history and culture but also included breakfast at a hawker center where we sampled Chinese, Malay and Indian breakfasts. Highly recommend, though will note may want to dress modestly to enter Hindu temple and Mosque ( both do provide coverings, but gets pretty hot in extra layers)
