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!
I recently joined the free walking tour of Chinatown, and it was a highlight of my trip to Singapore! Our guide, Cecilia, was absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sharing the rich history and hidden gems of this vibrant neighborhood. From the stunning temples to the fascinating stories behind the traditional shophouses, Cecilia made the heritage of the area come alive. You can tell she puts a lot of heart into her storytelling, and she was more than happy to answer everyone’s questions. Overall, this was an excellent experience. If you want to truly understand the soul of Chinatown, definitely ask for Cecilia!
Cecilia was great, we learned a lot and really enjoyed the tour
Cecilia was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. We visited places I wouldn’t have found on my own and we had a lot of interesting information about the history and development of Singapore. I’m keen to learn more about Singapores history - it’s a fascinating country.
Gute Führung, ergibt einen tolle Übersicht über Chinatown.
