Hello! I’m Wahida, also known as Angel, a professional Singapore tour guide with 7 years of guiding experience and a lifelong foodie who truly lives, breathes and eats this city. I grew up in a family that has been part of Singapore’s food industry for years, so hawker culture has always felt like home. As a passionate home cook, I love sharing how our dishes are prepared, the stories behind them, and where to find the flavours locals actually eat. With me, you won’t just try food, you’ll understand it. Before guiding, I spent 10 years as a humanities teacher. Experiences gained taught me how to connect with people, explain culture clearly, and organise smooth, engaging tours. I’m honoured to have been a Best Tour Guide nominee in 2022 and a finalist in 2023, and I bring the same passion to every guest on my walks. If you join my tours, expect: ✅ fun stories, history and cultural insights ✅ hidden gems you’d never find alone ✅ real local hawker recommendations ✅ a relaxed & friendly experience Come curious, Come hungry and let me show you Singapore through the flavours I grew up with!

Tour description

The Singapore Story: Meet Me at Raffles

Forget the diamonds - the real sparkle is in Singapore’s stories. Meet me at Raffles Hotel and get ready for a fun, must-do walking adventure through a city that went from zero to global icon. Whether you’re here for Insta-worthy colonial backdrops or the epic journey of its pioneers, this 2.45-hour Tip Based Walking tour brings it all to life.
We kick things off under Raffles’ iconic white arches, where the “Singapore Sling” story begins. Then we dive into history at the Civilian War Memorial, soak in the stunning National Gallery Singapore, and say hello to Sir Stamford Raffles. After a breezy stroll through Fullerton Square, we wrap up at Merlion Park with the best skyline views in town. 
From wartime grit to billionaire glitz, it’s a story better than any movie - it’s Singapore!
What to expect: Chill vibes, great stories, hidden gems, and plenty of photo stops. Rain or shine, we roll on! Wear comfy shoes, stay hydrated, and bring your curiosity.
Good to know: This is a tip-based tour. Most guests contribute between $30-$50 per person to support the depth of research and professional storytelling provided.
