Hello! I'm Joanne, your go-to guide in the heart of Singapore. Although many see our nation as a tiny red dot, I'm always in awe of its vastness in culture, history, and innovation. There's a beautiful balance here – we're ever-changing yet rooted in tradition. Food is my passion, and I can't wait to take you on a culinary journey through our city's diverse flavors, all while sharing my latest finds on Instagram. A supermarket connoisseur? You bet! From Chinatown's vibrant streets to Kampong Gelam's historic lanes and Bukit Timah's scenic routes, I've got insider tips just for you. Whether you're after a comprehensive city tour or a delicious escapade, let's explore Singapore's treasures together!

Joanne was amazing! She customized the tour to our preference and shared additional information about the culture and history of Singapore. She was patient with us and answered all our questions. She was so amazing with knowledge and facts and sharing the rich culture of Singapore I think she has convinced my spouse to move to Singapore lol

Highly recommended. The highlight of this tour was Joanne, our guide. Joanne is a proud Singaporean, is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She gave us tips for the rest of our time in Singapore & made sure we knew how to get around. We visited places we would never have found ourselves, and we had a great time. Having Joanne as our guide was incredible - she had the tissues, the wet wipes, the water, recommended local food and really looked after us. She also took great photos for us. Ask for Joanne as your guide & you'll be well looked after!
