Good introductory tour
I took a three hour tour as an introduction to Singapore. Mostly we walked around the downtown area, with some much-needed air conditioning stops. My guide, Ernest, while knowledgable, didn’t provide enough historical background info or local detail to really make the tour interesting or worthwhile.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad to hear that Ernest made your introduction to Singapore comfortable and helped keep you cool with well-timed air conditioning stops.
At Lokafy, our goal is to connect travelers with local hosts who share their city from a personal, authentic perspective, rather than providing a traditional, history-heavy tour guide experience. However, we always strive to ensure every walk is engaging and filled with rich local insights. We appreciate your constructive comments regarding the depth of historical and local details, and we will pass this feedback along to Ernest to help refine future tours.

Touring Singapore by foot!
Had an amazing 1:1 tour with Julia! She was so friendly and knowledgeable! I learned so much visiting Chinatown, the temples and a visit to the Hawker food stands!

An Outstanding Walking Tour of Singapore
Our local tour guide was Juliet and she was outstanding. Our two-hour tour with her passed by very quickly given her insider knowledge of Signapore and the many sites we would never have seen without her. We have been on walking tours in many cities which were all great, but Juliet is the best. We booked with Tripadvisor but Lokafy scheduled our time with Juliet. Lokafy pairs you with local residents who may not be professional guides, but they provide an insiders perspective. Lokafy and guides like Juliet are highly recommended. Thank you Juliet!

Our Singapore tour with Brian.
Brian was an attentive and knowledgeable and patient guide. He took us to some key sites including the Gardens by the Bay and the Hindu and Buddhist Temples as we had requested.
All in all, a great tour and a great guide.

Terrible experience
The tour of the city was quickly postponed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the afternoon by the assigned guide, Daryl Pohl. That was a serious and costly mistake that I agreed to. By the way, he was late!
The assigned person named Deryl Pohl had the task as part of his guided tour to get us to a specific address on time, namely at 18.30 on the island of Sentosa. A yacht tour was waiting for us afterwards. That failed him thoroughly and we arrived 30 minutes=19.00 o'clock late , 119€ damage to us. There was no time management of the man. The man is not suitable as a tourist guide! He became entangled in contradictions that could already be described as conjectures, better known as lies. Quote Daryl: "A woman would have heard that the yacht tour would be cancelled due to bad weather" By the way, there was best boat excursion weather : no wind and no rain in sight
He screwed up our Singapore stay thoroughly!
It would have been no problem to shorten the city tour so that we are on time on Sentosa. I had trusted him for what I had to pay dearly! Never again.

Hallo Bernd,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir bedauern die Erfahrung mit unserem Reiseleiter sehr. Er hatte Sie laut eigenen Angaben einen Tag zuvor über die Änderung Ihrer Tourzeit informiert, da es in Singapur aufgrund der Feierlichkeiten zum Nationalfeiertag zu Straßensperren kam, die den Ablauf Ihrer Tour möglicherweise beeinträchtigt hätten.
Wir dulden jedoch kein schlechtes Zeitmanagement und bedauern, dass Ihnen dadurch zusätzliche Kosten für Ihre Yachttour entstanden sind, insbesondere nachdem Sie seinem Urteil vertraut haben. Obwohl Daryl ein erfahrener lokaler Reiseleiter ist, mit dem wir schon seit einiger Zeit zusammenarbeiten, werden wir uns direkt an ihn wenden, um die Angelegenheit zu klären und unsere weitere Zusammenarbeit sorgfältig zu prüfen.
Wir entschuldigen uns nochmals aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Unser einziger Trost ist, dass Sie für Ihr Yachterlebnis gutes Wetter hatten. Wir hoffen, Ihnen in Zukunft eine reibungslose und unvergessliche Tour bieten zu können.
