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!
Cecilia took the time to add a more personalized tour based on the inclement weather. She was kind and friendly and took her time to provide meaningful and knowledgeable answers. Although I have visited Singapore many times before, she has gems of historical information such as the historical hospital which is now used for shops, and the UAE center tour as well. She was flexible and I highly recommend her tour for those who like to hear the stories of Chinatown and Singapore.
Cecilia was engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. She asked questions and tried to keep us guessing what would happen next. The tour is more informational about the early residents of singapore versus lots of stops. I appreciated her extensive knowledge, but would like a tour that covers more area as the route is fairly short
Wonderful tour, perfect balance between information, sightseeing and stories. The tour started out with an overview over Singapore, its history and how things came to be the way they are today. That was perfect to get a better idea of the country, ideal for the beginning of a visit to Singapore. As the tour only covers Chinatown, this way you also get an idea of what else to explore next. Cecilia did such a great job at giving an insight into people’s lives then and now, culture and history. Walking through Chinatown she pointed out all there was to see while telling stories, making the place’s history come alive. There was just the right amount of facts and information to relate but not to be overwhelmed.Also it was very important to her to cater the tour to what those joining the tour want to see and know. Highly recommend!
Cecilia was lovely and had a lot of interesting facts how locals live and about the history of Singapur, Chinatown etc. Good level of English is required as Singlish sometimes is hard to understand - but other than that an awesome experience. Would recommend it for sure! She knew a lot of secret spots, that we would have missed otherwise (e.g food spots, wall paintings and historical buildings).
