Hi, I’m Mark, your local host in Singapore who loves sharing the vibrant charm of this incredible city! One of my favorite pastimes is exploring Singapore’s diverse food scene.

I also enjoy discovering cozy cafes to catch up with friends or just relax with a good cup of coffee. On weekends, you’ll often find me visiting museums, art galleries, or uncovering the rich history of neighborhoods like Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Little India, Toa Payoh, and Punggol. As a passionate explorer of Singapore’s architecture and engineering marvels, from iconic buildings to hidden gems, I can guide you through the stories behind them. I’d love to show you the best of Singapore through my eyes. Let’s make your visit unforgettable!

What My Guests Think of Me

Janet 1 March 2026

We have been to Singapore several times before but weren’t sure what to order at the Hawker markets. Mark was a great guide, really informative about Singapore overall as well as the cuisine. He arranged for us to taste lots of different foods which we would never had the opportunity to try if we were on our own. We had a really great trip and would highly recommend giving it a try.

Orla 1 March 2026

Mark was our guide. Excellent guide, great knowledge. Courteous and on time. Went out of his way to show us places we could not have seen on our own.

Janet 1 March 2026

We loved our tour with Mark, he was really informative, good fun and we ate some fab food. We would definitely recommend this to others.
