Even though I wasn’t the most cooperative (didn’t complete the questionnaire) I had a great time. The tour was catered to my likes and the history information was great.

Joanne was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and gave us such a detailed tour of Singapore. She was very friendly and went out of her way to help us by recommending other places to visit whilst in Singapore.

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
