I absolutely LOVED my full-day customized city walking tour with my tour guide, Sharon! Soon after I booked this tour (about 4 weeks before my trip), Sharon contacted me directly through WhatsApp, to ask me what I would be most interested in seeing and doing in Singapore. After telling her about my interests, Sharon sent me her first draft of her proposed customized itinerary for me. I then modified the itinerary several times, based on her suggestions of certain sites and activities in Singapore that I had never heard about before. Sharon then finalized my itinerary several days before my tour, but also confirmed that she would be flexible with our schedule during the tour, depending on how long I wanted to spend at each site or activity.
Because this was a walking tour, our original plan was to take public transport to get to each site and activity. However, when Sharon mapped out all the things I wanted to see and do, I realized that I wanted to decrease the transit times, in order to fit in everything I wanted to see and do. So I decided to use the Grab app (similar to Uber) to take car rides to each site and activity. Although it was an added expense, it was well worth it, so that I could see and do everything on my itinerary.
Sharon provided me with EXACTLY the customized full-day city tour that I wanted. She is professional, knowledgeable, warm-hearted, and efficient. I will definitely request her as my personal tour guide, whenever I come back to Singapore. I highly recommend her tour services to anyone who wants a comprehensive and customized city tour of Singapore. She will provide you with an amazing, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are glad that Sharon made your time in Singapore so special. We look forward to your another unforgettable tour in the future!

Excellent. Adam was well informed, polite and helpful. My wife panic at the top of an esclaortor and Adam raced back to the top and took her down the elevator.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Adam quick thinking and kindness in a stressful moment show what an exceptional host he is. It’s wonderful to hear that he made your experience not only informative but also reassuring and supportive. Think of us next time you travel, we have hosts worldwide!

Aaron was an excellent guide. He set a reasonable pace and gave us all the time we needed for whatever we wanted to do . He was extremely informative and very knowledgeable about the city, history and culture . We were quite impressed with the diversity of cultures within the city and the ability to see three different countries cultures in only three metro stops. He brought us to several great places to have snacks, both reasonably priced and extremely tasty. He didn't just take us to tourist areas but off the beaten path, for example to a very interesting hotel that looked like something out of Ghostbusters and other interesting sites we wouldn't have seen in a tourist guide. We highly recommend Aaron and this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
I am so happy to hear you had a good time with Aaron, your experience sounds truly exciting! Thank you for sharing your personal recommendations with fellow travelers, and a special thank you for the positive review. It means a lot to us!

What a great way to see Singapore by having your own guide. We had a fun packed day with adventure, beautiful sights and fun. This had to be one of the best tours I have been on. Jay was the best. I feel very lucky I got just as my guide.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We not only highly value your positive review but also want to express how much it means to Jay! We look forward to seeing you on another unforgettable tour with us!

Jon is super nice friendly guide! He showed me many different nice places in 1 day. Also he gave me many tips for my next days and great advices for food/restaurants! Great job Jon! Thanks!
Colleen_M, Dec 2022
Our guide John was super engaging and worked incredibly hard to give us his beloved Singapore in a single day. We worked hard with him - 27,000 steps worth! But we came away with great memories and a good understanding of both Singapore's cultural makeup and extraordinary evolution in just 200 years.

My normally jaded, usually non-communicative teenage son loved this tour. We had some flight problems and ended up getting in late on the day we had booked this for, but the company and the guide were very accommodating in working with us to find an adjusted schedule that worked. We got our heads filled with history, culture, food, art, music, religion, and all the highlights. We used public transportation, and did LOTS of walking. Monica tailored the tour to fit the divergent interests of me and my son, and made sure everyone was happy. In fact, the tour company sent out a questionnaire before assigning a guide to make sure they gave us a person who would best suit our style and interests. They hit it out of the park!

En utrolig hyggelig og kunnskapsrik guide tok oss rundt og viste oss høydepunkter i Singapore .. vi hadde aldri fått så mye ut av vårt korte opphold hvis vi ikke hadde tilbringt dagen vår med Jimmy☀️anbefales.
