Guiding since 2025PRO
Singapore has over 6 million people... you only need to know one!
I'm Wahida Angel, the local behind I Know A Gal SIN Tours. I believe the best way to experience Singapore isn't through a script or a checklist of attractions, it's through its people, stories, food, and hidden corners.
As your guide, I'll take you beyond the usual tourist spots to discover the Singapore locals know and love. Whether we're wandering through Little India, admiring colourful street art, uncovering forgotten history, or hunting for the best local eats, I want you to feel like you're exploring with a friend rather than following a guide.
My tours are relaxed, interactive, and full of stories, humour, cultural insights, and practical tips to help you make the most of your time in Singapore. No two groups are the same, so every tour is shaped by your curiosity and interests.
If you're looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable experience, I'd love to show you around.
Come as a traveller. Leave feeling like a local.
