Hey there, I'm a born and bred Singaporean who's bursting with pride and enthusiasm for my hometown! As your local host, I'm eager to show you all of our city's highlights and give you a truly authentic Singaporean experience. Our small but vibrant country boasts an incredible blend of cultures, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian, and the unique Peranakan culture. As a local expert, I'm thrilled to share the history, food, lifestyle, and fashion of the Peranakan culture with you - it's a true gem that you won't find anywhere else in the world. And, of course, we can't talk about Singapore without mentioning our beloved founding father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, whose legacy still resonates throughout the city. During our time together, we'll explore all the must-visit spots in Singapore - and thanks to our convenient and centrally located attractions, you'll have plenty of time to take it all in. From the civic district to the museums and botanic gardens, there's no shortage of incredible sights to see and experiences to be had. So what are you waiting for? Come experience Singapore's beauty, culture, and excitement with me as your local host - I can't wait to show you around!

My reviews

    Jon provided us with an amazing, unforgettable day & evening tour of Singapore, as only a native guide could. He is funny, personable, chock full of local history, culture (all of them!), traditions , local cuisine, even traditional medicines & herbs, which he graciously allowed us to sample. Jon graciously guided us through the hustle and bustle, of old & new Singapore, all the while regaining us with the citybthatvhe is so passionate about.. We learned so much- the traditions around the Singapore Sling, were expertly guided , as we shopped in little India, while no question was left unanswered... The walking tour Jon provided us with was simply unforgettable, as were the use of the mass transit system... we simply learned so much, under Jon's considerate & comprehensive tutelage. Capping this phenomenal day was the spectacular light show at the Bayside Garden. Jon was considerate enough o provide us with snacks & beverages for the light show. What a Guy! I strongly recommend Jon's tour unabridgedly and without reservation. I would repeat it in a heartbeat !!!

    Our guide was Jon Xu. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever used (and we travel quite a bit)!!! He was not only our tour guide but also our driver. He took us around Singapore in his vehicle (which we had arranged with him). He was very prompt, in fact, he picked us up early when we told him we are available early. Jon had a very good command of the English language so he was easy to understand. In addition, he was very friendly and very accommodating as well as fun and entertaining! We had booked a 4-hour tour with him but it actually was at least 4 1/2 hours. Jon took us to all of the major attractions of Singapore and did an excellent job of explaining all of the details related to each one, he was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot from what he told us during the tour. He never seemed rushed, in fact, he even took the time to take several pictures in various places of my wife and I using my camera. This was very nice because I am usually not in the pictures because I am taking them. It was quite evident he was very familiar with using cameras because of the shots he took and the way he took them similar to a professional photographer. Jon gave each of us two souvenirs from Singapore and even bought us ice cream!! He also gave us enough free time at each location to explore a little on our own. He customized our tour to what we were especially interested in seeing. This tour was well worth the cost!
