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 awesome! He took myself and two kids (11 & 15) on a great private tour around Singapore during our 8 hour layover after our 16 1/2 hr flight. He met us early in the morning at the airport and took us all over. We were really interested in the different foods at the hawker's centers, so we got to eat everything on our list and get a great tour of the major sites. Roy came with us in the airport to make sure we got on the right bus and made sure everything went incredibly smoothly. He was very friendly, spoke perfect English (he mentioned all the kids in Singapore learn English in school), and had lots of great information about the country and architecture. So glad we turned the layover into an awesome travel experience for the whole family!

Good overview of food markets, good guide to tailor tour to your interests. Also learned a lot about the history of Singapore, saw street art and took the subway. Roy had a great deal of knowledge of the city and the local food specialties.

What an incredible experience on our first evening in Singapore with Roy as our guide. He was personable, warm, so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his city. As a family of four it was a super memorable and special evening. Amazing food steeped in culture. Don’t hesitate, just book this tour.
