Hi there! I’m Kavin, your local host in Singapore. I’m passionate about the rich cultural diversity and the amazing variety of food our city has to offer. One of my favorite things about Singapore is the incredible mix of cultures and the delicious food from around the world that you can find here. I love cycling through Singapore’s many beautiful parks, which is a great way to see the city and stay active. When I’m not on my bike, you’ll probably find me checking out the latest gadgets and technology—I'm a bit of a tech enthusiast! I know the neighborhoods like Marina Bay and Chinatown like the back of my hand, so whether you're looking for the best places to eat, shop, or just hang out, I've got you covered. Join me as we uncover the best of Singapore together – there’s so much to see and do, and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

Kavin was extremely personable and we really liked that we were able to let him know the things we wanted to see.

Kavin was incredible. He made the experience entirely customisable. He gave us plenty of options and let us take the tour at our place. He was extremely friendly and patient, took amazing photos, and was a joy to be around. It was above and beyond our expectations. He was well prepared with handheld fans, hand wipes, sun blocking umbrellas, and cooling mist to ensure we were comfortable. When we began to get hot, Kavin found us air-conditioned restaurants. We feel incredibly lucky to have been paired with such an amazing tour guide. He really made this experience for us. We left the tour with very full bellies and plenty of food to take home. Kavin helped us hail a taxi to ensure we were safely on our way. Extremely glad we booked this tour.

This was the best layover I ever had in my entire life! We had a seven hour layover in Singapore and did this on whim. Our guide gave us an amazing tour -- we saw all the highlights -- and he did a great job of making it low stress and super enjoyable. Despite have a jam packed list (which we came up with) -- we never felt rushed and eve stopped for a leisurely cocktail to see the skyline. We also got to see things we never would have thought to see by just flipping through trip advisor. Highly, highly recommend. Inspired me to do this for any long layover we ever have...

Kavin made contact well before the trip. We spent a very enjoyable few hours with Kavin who was informative, pleasant and went out of his way to make sure we got 100% out of our experience. We felt like we made a new best friend. I highly recommend this trip and Kavin.
