Maureen is a genius and we would have been lost without her
Exceptionally personalized tour - the day before, we had an itinerary perfect for our tastes and pace. If something in the distance caught our eye or we had a wardrobe malfunction, Maureen pivoted on the fly. It was by far the best tour experience I have ever been on

Perfect Start to your Singapore visit
Kavin of Hello Singapore, a 6hr tour, was the best of the best we’ve enjoyed on our global travels.
Personable, passionate and considerate - an engaging story teller elevating history to memorable light.
When we ran out of our allotted time, Kavin curated an itinerary for us to hit the remaining Singaporean highlights.
Co+Nut+ink became our Kavin rec trip treat !
The photo journaling he captured and shared was the best of our 18day Asian adventure.
Don’t be disappointed - book with Kavin now!

Book Maureen!
Maureen was fantastic! Every need was catered too and she had the patience and skill to adapt our plans at the drop of a hat. And she's a wealth of knowledge! Every question had an answer - and if you, like myself, appreciate a deeper dive, she was happy to launch into a lesson as well.

An excellent personalised tour from Gene
Gene was an excellent guide - he had prepared a custom itinerary based around my interest in Buddhism as well as the history of Singapore. We covered a lot of ground and experienced elements of local life as well as the traditional sights. The logistics were smooth and Gene was great company as well as very informative!

Pam was the best guide on our amazing Singapore Walking Tour!
Pam was an excellent guide on our wonderful 6 hour walking tour of Singapore! She was very knowledgeable and very personable too!! My husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandson and I all really enjoyed the tour. Since my husband and I are seniors, she didn't make it too strenuous, and we got to ride both a scenic bus and a train as well as doing a lot of walking. Singapore is a beautiful, clean, safe and very enjoyable place. We loved the hawker markets, especially in Chinatown, and our great guide, Pam (Ching Pin), directed us to the tastiest food! We especially loved the Carrot Cake, which neither has carrots nor is it cake! It's made from two delicious varieties of sweet radishes! You should try it!

Great tour with Pam
We (my wife and I along with our daughter, son-in-law and 9-year old grandson) went on a 6 hour tour with Pam as our guide. Pam showed up promptly at our hotel and reviewed with us our interests, preferences and food restrictions. She then took us by bus to the civic district, where we visited several sites as she talked about the history and culture of Singapore, freely sharing some of her own family and personal history. Then we walked to and through Chinatown, culminating in a visit to a hawker center where Pam expertly ordered different dishes for us consistent with our preferences and restrictions. Then, since I had expressed a desire to see a housing complex, she took us to The Pinnacle at Buxton, where we went inside and up the roof. Since we were interested, Pam thoroughly explained the government's housing policies and talked about her own housing situation. As were getting tired, and time was up anyway, Pam walked us to the MRT and explained how to take it back to our hotel. But when she saw we were a little apprehensive about it, she led into the station and onto the train and rode back with us to our hotel, which was really above and beyond.
Pam was an extremely knowledgeable, personable and kind guide, and did a great job of molding our tour to fit our interests and needs. I highly recommend a tour with this company and if possible with Pam.

Friendly and knowledgeable guide
Pamela was very friendly and knowledgeable. She gave us a good oversight of Singaporean culture and what it is like to live there. We especially enjoyed eating chicken and rice in the Maxwell Hawker
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Pamela! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed learning about Singaporean culture and local life. Maxwell Food Centre is always a highlight — there's nothing quite like a plate of Hainanese chicken rice to really taste Singapore! We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to your guide. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Singapore tour with Gene
Our tour with Gene was one of the highlights of our visit to Singapore. He was knowledgeable, conscientious, and attentive to every detail throughout the day. His passion for Singapore's history, culture, and people brought each neighborhood to life through fascinating stories and personal insights.
From learning about Peranakan culture in Katong and Joo Chiat to exploring the Merlion, Fullerton area, and Chinatown's historic temples, every stop was informative and enjoyable.
Gene also introduced us to local foods and specialties along the way, explaining their cultural significance and helping us experience Singapore through its diverse culinary traditions. The food recommendations and tastings added another dimension to an already outstanding tour.
As a group of senior travelers, we especially appreciated how thoughtful Gene was in Singapore's tropical heat. He adjusted the pace to our needs, made sure we had opportunities to rest and cool down, and never made us feel rushed. His awareness of our comfort and ability to tailor the tour to our group made the experience even more enjoyable.
Gene's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the experience truly special. We left with a much deeper appreciation of Singapore and wonderful memories. Gene is an outstanding guide, and we highly recommend him.
