It was such fun exploring Singapore with Rachel. Her energy and knowledge created a unique and personal experience for my wife and me. The walk through Chinatown, the Temples, and not to mention the education about the mass transit system made this ann unforgettable experience!
My wife and I decided to book this walking tour as we wanted to experience Singapore in greater detail and learn more of its history and culture. With Rachel we certainly got that. She took us to places we wouldn’t have experienced had we simply tried getting around on our own. Rachel was very friendly and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed our time in her company. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough if you want to see the real Singapore!
Rachel was amazing from start to finish, reached out to me confirming Hotel I was at well as sharing weather info, met me in the lobby and started our tour, explained where Singapore started from, visited temples, chinatown, visited MND and how the city is going to be developed, all the street art and views over the city, a river walk and then the Merlion, that was all amazing, but its the extra details she sent me after, what to do, where to go, and of course, where to get Irvins salted egg chips from !
Our tour with Rachel was a fantastic experience for our party of four. Rachel was an absolute delight—so lovely, warm, and engaging throughout, and her English was great too. She provided lots of contact before our trip via WhatsApp to help us plan it, and she was wonderful at adapting the tour during the day to what we wanted. She took us to lots of non-touristy spots and hidden gems, and she is incredibly knowledgeable with lots of fascinating facts, making it a truly sweet and wonderful experience from start to finish.
Amazing girl, the best experience of my life
Great experience with a knowledgeable guide. She tailored the experience to match our needs. I traveled with my elderly mom who needed some breaks from the 90 degree (F) heat. Swee Lin’s knowledge of the city with its history and culture made for a fascinating walking tour. She was quite engaging and listened well. We got back to the hotel tired, hot, and happy, and would definitely book another tour with this company.
Loved Rachel - our tour guide. Easy to work with and super knowledgeable. A great way to learn about the area and the history.
Fantastic tour with Rachel who adapted and tailored the tour around our interest In Singapore history and culture. We'd visited 30 years ago and much had changed and in other ways not. Visiting China Town, the Singapore City gallery fascinating to learn about the city's development and approach to planning. The Hindu temple we popped into was conducting a lively and beautiful ceremony. We finished off with a visit to the top floor of a public housing building which was really interesting and offered great city skyline views. I had a bit of a sore throat and Rachel took me to a herbalist in China town for cough syrup and throat sweets. What a wonderful memorable afternoon. Thank you
We had Rachel as our private guide. She was excellent and we got to see parts of Singapore we hadn’t experienced yet. It was nice having a private guide as we were able to tweak certain sites we wanted to see. Rachel then gave us an excellent recommendation for eating a late lunch.

We had such a wonderful tour with Rachel today. We really appreciated seeing the many highlights of Singapore, including the Temples of Little India and China Town, the eating hall, Singapore’s history and its urban development plan, the waterfront, and the “secret places” she showed us along the way. We also appreciate the information she provided on other sites to see beyond what we had time to cover today. Rachel is an excellent guide, and we would give her a great recommendation.
