My reviews

We had an incredible time exploring Singapore with our tour guide Joanne. She was friendly, approachable, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the tour. Her knowledge of the city's history and landmarks was impressive, and she shared fascinating insights at every stop. From iconic sights to hidden gems, she showed us so many great places we wouldn't have discovered on our own. She even sent us an email with further recommendations and a summary of how we spent our day. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Singapore

This experience was excellent from start to finish. Joanne is such a great guide. We loved every moment- we went to places we would not have visited and Joanne bought us a selection of foods to try. We were so full by the end of the tour. Great knowledge so history as well as delicious food- thank you Joanne
