Best personalized tour of Singapore. If you get matched with Liang, you’re in for real treat. He set up a detailed tour based on our interests and what we wanted to see and he delivered. He met us at our hotel ( you can change the meet up point if you’re staying in the city) and took us around from to every site we wanted to see and arranged all the tickets for any attractions ( you have to pay for certain attractions like a bum boat ride or entry to the Gardens by the Bay). The tour is totally customizable so you can do as little or as much as you want. We definitely would not have been able to get around the city and learn as much as we did and try as much food as we did with him. Thanks so much to our friend Liang.

Liang curated the perfect day in Singapore for us and we got to see everything on our list plus more. You can tell Liang is a proud Singaporean and takes pride in his work as tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, culture and food and even shared his own personal family history. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Liang and we can’t wait to come back to Singapore!

I had an excellent experience. My guide was thoughtful and extremely helpful. This tour was an excellent introduction to Singapore and I would happily recommend this experience.

Jon started the tour by helping me fix my SIM card, which was greatly appreciated. Somehow, we still managed to see everything as planned. I very much appreciated the assistance with this matter, as I had no cell service whatsoever until Jon helped me sort it out. As for the tour itself, I enjoyed every minute. Jon was personable and informative, and the custom itinerary was perfect.

Adam was a great tour guide, he was very informative and had a great sense of humour! It was great to get a feel for Singapore and different areas, both touristy and local. It was interesting trying some local food and the ease of catching public transport. Although it was very hot, we had a great day! Thank you! Highly recommend!
