Wonderful night out in Singapore!

Donald_R, Apr 2026

I had a wonderful time with Amy and Allan! They are so knowledgeable about the city from the fauna to the history. They go at your pace and go above and beyond to make you at ease. Whether you are a group of 7 or a couple, they will make sure you get an unforgettable trip in Singapore. 15/10 for kindness, flexibility, and care.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Mary and Donald! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly our pleasure hosting you. Alan and I are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the pace, the stories, and the little details about Singapore’s nature and history. We always aim to make every guest feel comfortable and cared for, whether it’s a couple or a group of seven, so your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you for choosing to explore Singapore with us and we hope to welcome you back again one day. Big Hugz!

5 Stars just isn't enough for Amy and Alan

Larry_M, Feb 2026

It's a shame that we are limited by only 5 stars to rate the time that we spent with Amy and Alan. It just simply does not do justice to the quality of their tour and the insights they shared with us about Singapore. Far beyond what we imagined or expected, not only did we see and experience the "highlights" of Singapore, but we were also introduced to the life of the locals, as well as their culture and their food. Amy and Alan are both delightful and extremely knowledgeable and kind. What a blessing it was for us to see Singapore through their eyes. We can't recommend them enough!!!! What an incredible and memorable experience for us that far exceeded our expectations!!!!
