Hi, I’m Colin, a long-time resident of Singapore who’s deeply in love with everything this modern, dynamic city has to offer. What I find most fascinating about Singapore is how it’s both a bustling cosmopolitan hub and a city rich in history, with plenty of hidden gems to find. One of my favorite things to do is explore the endless variety of food options. Whether it’s laksa, satay, or chicken rice, I’m always on the hunt for the next great meal. When I’m not enjoying the food scene, I love visiting museums and galleries in the Civic District, where Singapore’s rich heritage and history come to life through art and cultural exhibits. I can offer visitors a unique perspective on the city's development, the stories behind its iconic buildings, and how it continues to balance progress with tradition. If you’re looking for a local host who knows the ins and outs of Singapore’s history, architecture, and, of course, food, I’d be thrilled to show you around!

Absolutely loved the tour! We covered a lot in a small time window (2hrs) and Colin could not be any more helpful! Would definitely recommend.

My Partner & I had a 2 hour tour around Singapore with Colin. Not honey did he provide an excellent tour for the amount of time required but he also left us with memories forever. Colin assisted in planning a proposal for me and it worked out exactly like I’d imagined.
