I am a tour guide passionate about sharing my love for the beautiful city-state of Singapore.

Join me for a tour of the city for an initial introduction, which will help you understand how Singapore turned from a poor fishing village into one of the most important cities in the world economically. Come and discover the rich history and heritage of this fantastic island.

We took this tour today. The route of the tour was pretty good- all the places located in the City Center. We were with a baby in a stroller and the Guru changed his route in accordance with our needs despite there were another 13 participants. There was a lot of quizzes and anecdotes which I found little bit annoying. As I am not so fluent in English, the pronouncing of some words was strange and I cannot understand some information. At the end of the tour the Guru gave us a tip where to eat and this is a great Hawker Center. We appreciate this. All in all, i can recommend this tour.

Tour hat leider nicht stattgefunden, da nur 3 Teilnehmer zur vereinbarten Zeit am Treffpunkt erschienen waren. Keine Kritik am Guide, eher an den Teilnehmern, die entweder zu spät kommen oder erst ein paar Minuten vorher absagen. Dann hätte ich mit den Weg dorthin gespart und meinen Tag anders verplant / nach einer alternativen Tour geschaut.
