Hello! My name is Cecilia, and I’m proud to be Singaporean. I’ve always had a passion for travel and have explored many countries over the years starting from 1987, where I embarked on a backpacking journey across Europe to work and travel for three incredible years in my youth. Upon returning, I spent over 20 years working in the travel industry, continuing to fuel my love for exploration. I have learnt so much about the unique cultures, histories, and heritage of different countries.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, I took the opportunity to rediscover my own country. I joined local tours and nature walks, and to my delight, I found that Singapore is rich in history and heritage too. I am now a professional Singapore Tourism Board (STB) registered tour guide and I can’t wait to share the Singapore stories with you!
You have about 45mins inside the URC this has a great model of Singapore and the history, development and future city plans are explained. Then a guided tour around one of the districts of Chinatown with some fantastic murals. Tour finishes at a wet market with many dining options. The market is very clean with fresh produce, unlike some markets we have experienced in Asia. Make sure to bring some water as it’s humid on an easy walk.
Cecilia was an extremely informative, interesting and engaging tour guide who gave us lots of in-depth knowledge and answers. She was fun, upbeat and we really enjoyed our tour with her. We weren’t expecting to have an overview of Singapore in the Singapore City Gallery at the start of the tour but this was really useful as a visual and informative aid and entertaining too. Thanks Cecilia!
Fue muy interesante.
Cecilia is such a gem. She knows so much and was able to show us and teach us about singapore from its history until today. The Spots she took us were interesting and able to give us a well rounded picture of the rich heritage of chinatown in particular. We even had a private tour with cecilia which made it even more special :) and absolutely recommend a tour with Cecilia.
