Hello everyone, I am Linda, a proud Singaporean who has lived, eaten, and breathed the vibrant life of this city for over 40 years. After more than 20 years in corporate sales, I decided to follow my true passion, sharing my love for Singapore with the world as a full-time tour guide. Engaging with people has always been in my blood, and now I get to do it in the most meaningful way by introducing visitors to the unique blend of culture, food, history, and hidden gems that make Singapore so special. I’m energetic, passionate, and always eager to connect with fellow explorers from around the globe. When I’m not guiding, I enjoy trekking and teaching yoga as a freelance instructor, so expect a fun, active, and enriching experience on my walks. Come join me and see Singapore through the eyes of a local who truly loves this city!
