Hey there! I'm Roy, your easygoing host in the bustling city-state of Singapore. Hawker centers? Oh, they're the heartbeat of our culture! And imagine experiencing the tapestry of our heritage areas, all in just a day. From the magnetic charm of Marina Bay's transformation story to the vibrant pockets of Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam, there's so much to uncover. On a break from city life, I love to embrace Singapore's "City in Nature" ethos with hikes along our southern ridges and Bukit Timah. And if you're keen on exhibitions, tight-budget tips, or a journey through WWII sites, I've got you! Let's embark on a flavorful and fun journey together!

Roy was an excellent guide. He is very thorough and knowledgeable; additionally, he is very passionate about his job. I would definitely recommend taking this tour the first or second day in Singapore; it provides an ideal overview and introduction to the city. Lastly, I saw parts of the city on this tour that I did not see on any other tours and which, had I not taken this tour with Roy, I would not have seen: e.g., the view of Chinatown from the top of an public housing apartment building, the inside of the lobbies of some of the city’s iconic hotels. Overall, this tour is a great value and a highly recommended experience.
