I really enjoyed the walking tour in Little India! Ping was so knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories about the place. Her passion for her work is truly inspiring. I loved the vibrant colours, rich culture, and how Indian culture blends beautifully with Singapore’s multicultural identity. A lovely experience!
Ping was amazing! You could tell she loves what she does and it shows in her knowledge of the area and how she tells us about it. I had such a great time on this tour with her. 5 stars
Ping was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide, showing us lots of hidden places
Really good experience. Everything good to know,it was valuable time. Thank you.
Ping was amazing. Great guide. She knows her stuff and very informative. I will definitely love to have her on another again
Thank you for the best experience on the Little India walking tour. Our guide Ping was exceptional and really brought the area to life with her knowledge and enthusiasm. I would go on any tour with her as a guide as she really knows her history and knowledge of the area. Thank you Ping for making my stay in Singapore really fun.
Wonderful tour with a smaller group. The timing of the day was perfect! More shadows and we were able to witness a prayer ceremony. The guide was very knowledgeable of the neighborhood and its history, seemed genuinely interested in what she was talking about. I also enjoyed the female perspective that our guided added, talking about modern indian attire and female shelters. Really worth your time. Though make sure to dress in roomy natural fabrics as you are going to spend the whole time outside wondering the streets. It was a really charming walk and talk, I felt like I was walking not only with a local but a friend.
We loved our tour of Little India. Our guide, Ping, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area. As someone who had lived in the area for many years, she shared many stories and insights. We found the tour very interesting and it was great to be guided through areas that we almost certainly would not have visited if it weren't for the tour. Our tour was a very small group, too, which made things easy. The duration of the tour was excellent at 2.5 hours. It was an easy walk with only a few stairs. If you're interested in learning more about Little India and seeing and hearing about the area, we would definitely recommend!!
We had a wonderful and very informative free walking tour through Little India in Singapore! Our guide Mano was fantastic and made the tour really enjoyable with his personal experiences, interesting stories, and fun anecdotes. He also gave us some great food recommendations to try in the area. A great way to discover Little India — highly recommended!
We had such a wonderful tour of Little India with Ping. We got so many amazing impressions and insights. Ping put so much thought and effort into making the tour truly special. We learned so much about the neighborhood, and everything was enriched with her personal touch and personal stories. It was very important to Ping to get to know the people on her tour and involve them in the experience, and I really, really loved that. You could feel so much heart, genuine interest, and a true desire to share her knowledge with others. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Ping! :) Svenja
Little India tour with Ping was tremendous. Unexpectedly, I got a private tour since I was the only person who joined that day. Ping was very enthusiastic and is a great story teller, one can feel her passion for the area, her city and the community. I had some prejudice for Little India but Ping made me fell in love with the district by the end of the tour.
Very friendly, informative and interesting guide. Explained things with great detail and really strong storytelling skill.
Really good small-group tour. The pace was easy, nobody felt rushed, and our guide was happy to answer whatever we threw at her. We ended up in side lanes and little shops we'd never have found on our own, and the street art alone was worth it. Would definitely do it again.
Exceeding my expectations, such a fun and knowledgable tour! The guide was friendly and shared lots of interesting facts and insights
wonderful walking tour through the little india district. learnt about many things. was almost exactly 2 and a half hours. it was just two of us. Ping was amazing and had so much knowledge of the area, even got us a small snack
Our guide brought Little India to life with fascinating stories about its culture and heritage. We discovered the neighbourhood through its vibrant sights, flavours, architecture, and traditions, experiencing a side of Singapore we would never have found on our own.
This tour exceeded our expectations. Little India is vibrant and full of life. The guide pointed out hidden details, explained local customs, and even recommended excellent places to eat afterwards....
Decided to book the Little India walking tour after an amazing experience with Monster's Kampong Gelam walking tour! This tour was informative and full of fascinating stories about Singapore's Indian community. Some of my family's favourite moments were visiting the temple and tekka centre.
My Wife and I enjoyed exploring Little India with our guide. The tour was extremely engaging and many stories about Singapore's Indian community that I have not heard of before. I would highly recommend everyone to drop by to do this tour! 5/5 for sure.
I was actually recommended to try this Little India Walking Tour after joining their Kampung Glam Walking tour. So glad I went because it was definitely worth it! We got to explore places like Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and Tekka Centre, while learning more about the history and culture of the area. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable and also showed us some hidden gems along the way.
Ping was truly FANTASTIC. She allowed Little India to come alive and be explored at a depth you would never be able to replicate on your own.
The Little India Tour with Ping was awesome! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour a part of my trip to Singapore which I wouldn't want to miss. It was very interactive and interesting. Ping did a wonderful job and made everyone feel more than welcome! Thank you!
We joined Ping for the Little India walking tour. Her subject knowledge was amazing. She took us to so many interesting places in Little India including markets, shops, churches, temples, mosques, houses, hotels and lots more. She answered all our questions and imparted so much of her personal history, and that of her city.
Ping was a great guide, really passionate about her job and Singapore history. I took part in the little India tour she could provide some personal insights on the area and bought some delicious Indian snack for us!
Very informative. Great balance of information and stories. Gene was very respectful, cheerful, and giving of his time and personal life experience. We would definitely do another tour with him.
Just did the free walking tour of Little India with Heng which I would highly recommend. He kept us inside or in the shade as much as possible which was really appreciated on a hot day!
The free walking tour of Little India with Gene was both informative and entertaining. We explored the markets, temples and restaurants, learned about the cultural context and history of Singapore and its Indian heritage. Gene is a great guide and his knowledge is extensive, with lots of good recommendations. A great way to explore Singapore's Little India neighborhood!
I did the Little India walking tour with our guide Ping and loved it. I’ve been on a lot of walking tours all around the world and this is definitely one of my favourite ones. Ping takes you to very interesting spots and knows the neighborhood really well. 10/10 :)
My colleague and I participated in a Little India walking tour guided by Ping. Ping's expertise, professionalism, and engaging presentation were exemplary. I found the tour highly informative and enriching, providing valuable insight into Singapore's diverse cultural heritage. The tour offered a concise yet compelling exploration of Little India's hidden gems. The historical accounts and anecdotes were particularly captivating.
Went on the Little India Free Walking Tour. The stories and history told by guide Ping was really interesting. Even though I am born and raised in Singapore, there was so much that I learnt on the tour. The part that amazed me the most was the personal passion and connection that Ping had with the area. Although she’s not Indian by race, she genuinely loved the culture and it was evident from her commentary. I’m pretty sure the tourists in the group enjoyed it too. Would recommend!
I did a free walking tour of Little India. There were only two of us in the group. My guide , Ping, was excellent. She provided a lot of rich historical detail about the area and Singapore, pointing out many architectural and other features of interest both in the main streets and in the back streets. She gave us a rundown of local foods and drinks in the Tecca food centre (where we tried beverages and sampled other foods) she recommended, as well as having other well regarded restaurants pointed out to us for us to try later. We experienced the evening prayers at the local Temple, arriving just as prayers were beginning, with a full explanation of symbols, and the associated stories/context. Overall it was clear Ping was both knowledgeable and passionate about showing guests around an area she has worked in for over 20 years. She took the trouble to take photos of us during the tour, provided to us via google photos after the tour. I highly recommend this tour.
We did the little India tour with Manu, and he was so knowledgeable, fun, and kind to share a lot of stories about Indian culture, life, religion, including personal stories, he was just amazing!
I took the Little India group walking tour with Ping as our guide. I was a solo traveller, and was joined by others for the tour. Ping was wonderful. She was energetic, knowledgeable, and attentive.
Interesting, informative, with a sip of humor ;) We learned about the history how Indian people came to Singapore, the architecture, gastronomy and so on
Today I attended the Little India walking tour with Mano as our guide. He was excellent! He shared so many details and stories that made the tour more interesting. I learned so much on this that I totally recommend it!!
Roy was very friendly, informative, and we enjoyed our time walking around Little India. With the tour providing us with a far deeper understanding of Singapore’s history and in particular the history of Little India. The food highlights in the market area ensured that we tried food options that we would not have known about. A very enjoyable tour.
My partner and I did the Little India walking tour yesterday morning with the fabulous Leonard! It was conducted at a gentle pace, lots of stops for photos etc and Leonard was a wealth of information from the history of Singapore, living in Singapore, food, shopping, religions etc etc….. there was a small group of 8 of us. Highly recommend this tour for an insider view of an interesting area of Singapore.
We did the Little India tour with Bernard and had a great time. Bernard is very friendly and very knowledgeable about Singapore and an excellent tour guide. We visited the dry and wet market, the hawkers. Bernard showed us some traditional shops for spices and jewelry and provided some insights into the Indian culture and the development of little India as well. We also visited an temple together. Overall a great experience that I would highly recommend.
We experienced a great walking tour of Little India with Ping and Lisa (who was training to take the tour but added great insights and fun too!) The tour was fun, informative, interactive and really engaging. We take lots of free walking tours and this was one of the best. 5/5!
I had an incredible time on the free walking tour of Little India during my 10-hour layover in Singapore! Our guide was a wealth of knowledge, sharing fascinating insights about the culture and history of the area. I especially loved that she treated us to a small bite of local cuisine—it was such a thoughtful touch! This tour was the perfect way to make the most of my layover. Highly recommend this tour with Ping.
We have visited little India and the surrounding with Ping and she was really interesting. She gave us a great overview of the indian town and it's history .
We did the Little India walking tour today (27th Oct). Our guide, Roy, is fantastic. Engaging with a sense of humor. He even bought us little treats for sampling. Thank you.
We did the Little India walking tour with Ping and she's such a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. She makes learning a lot of fun and I learnt so much during the tour. Ping is also extremely thoughtful and caring. She was constantly looking out for us, and in particular, an elderly couple that have a bad knee and back. She makes sure that they are feeling alright and looking for seats for them. Ping also ensured that we had a full cultural experience and bought us some Indian snacks to try. I had an amazing time and hope to go on more tours and adventure with Ping in the future
I was recommended this walking tour of Little India by a friend. We had Ping as our guide and I really appreciated her knowledge and passion for guiding. I believe we got a much different experience with her off the beaten path tour. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to see Singapore from a different aspect.
We did the Little India Tour with Gene on Friday 11th October. Gene got us all to introduce ourselves which was a good start to the tour. He was very knowledgeable when he was showing us round. We stopped for snacks and drinks which was tasty. He was humorous and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Would definitely recommend.
We went on the Little India tour with guide Angel who was very bright and bubbly. She explained a lot of the history of how the area became known as Little India which was very interesting. Angel was excellent and made sure that everyone on the tour was comfortable and and answered any queries that were asked. Really enjoyed our tour with Angel and would thoroughly recommend her.
Good knowledge with entertaining India custom and stories sharing from guide as usual. Enjoyed my walk and recommended to all :)
Little India Walking Tour. This was an amazing tour. Ping, our tour guide, shared her great knowledge of the area and of Singapore with us. Ping shared her knowledge very enthusiastically and answered our group’s questions. Ping got breakfast for us in a Hawker Market which was delicious and lots of fun eating and hearing about the food. Definitely choose this tour when in Singapore.
I've just done the Little India free walking tour with Ping. Ping is a brilliant guide, she knows so much about Singapire & Little India and shares it in an interesting & enjoyable way. If I was here for longer I would definitely like to do more tours with Ping.
Ping was the perfect guide on our Free walking tour through little India! She was full of energy, while explaining us interesting and cool facts and stories about little India :) We learnt a lot of new stuff and had a very pleasant tour! Thanks again :))
