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!

We had our tour with Roy, and he was absolutely AMAZING!! He made us feel welcome and tailored the tour to fit our first-time visit to Singapore. We tried a variety of dishes and were not disappointed one bit! We learned a lot about Singaporean culture and history and how food has evolved over the years. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn and enjoy the food and history of Singapore. Thank you again to Roy for making our trip to Singapore an unforgettable one!

We had a short stopover in Singapore and decided to do a 3-hour tour to get an overview of the city and its history. Roy was fantastic – friendly, informative, and incredibly helpful. There’s no way we would have discovered so many sights on our own, especially in such a limited time. The tour gave us a great overview and will really help us make the most of our short stay. This was our first City Unscripted tour and it was absolutely worth it. Thanks, Roy – highly recommended!

We spent a day of our Singapore holiday with Roy. We found him to be timely, accommodating, reliable, and interesting. We managed to 'tick off' all the things we wanted to see. Roy went out of his way to accommodate our last-minute ideas and helped us find a specific shop in Little India which we wanted to visit. Roy joined us for a curry at a Michelin recommended Hawker stall in Little India, although he proved to be a lightweight with the curry heat
