I'm Wahida aka 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. 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 as a local friend. Come as a traveller. Leave feeling like a local.
