First time to Singapore and it was a wonderful experience. We stayed for 3 days and I guess it was enough time. Tried to visit all the tourist areas as we could. I think we sorta didm I hope. As far as we saw, I guess it was kinda crowded, but not too bad. Where ever we went the staff, for all the places were great. Very helpful and friendly people. A lot of places had entrance fees, but worthwhile. User friendly public transportation, taxis and grab ride share.
We’re so happy to hear your first visit to Singapore was such a wonderful experience!

It was a very relaxed walk about learning unique aspects that I otherwise never would have experienced.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed such a relaxed and unique walking experience — discovering aspects you might not have found on your own is exactly what makes these tours so special. Thanks for sharing your feedback!
From the start, Stan (our wonderful guide) corresponded with me to plan the 3.5 hour tour in Singapore. If I had ANY question while still in the US, I felt comfortable to ask Stan. He helped me prepare for our arrival at the Changi airport Jewel Rain Vortex, for he highly recommend we see it upon our arrival. So glad we did! During our tour, he took us to the Gardens on the Bay and into Chinatown. Both locations filled our tour time frame. Stan was extremely knowledgeable about these areas. He is so smart, but doesn’t talk over your head. He asked great questions, and he listened. He wanted our tour to be enjoyable! And it truly was! We matched his pace perfectly, so we were able to do a lot in those 3.5 hours cause he has lots of energy. We like to be on the move, so it was a perfect experience. Thank you, Stan!
From the moment you connected, it’s wonderful that he was there to help with every detail, making you feel at ease even before your arrival. Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad to hear that Stan made your experience in Singapore such a seamless and enjoyable experience.
A great introduction to Singapore - tailored to your specific interests. Our day was unforgettable - all due to our amazing guide Joanne!

There is a survey you take prior to your tour to help the guide build an itinerary for you. My amazing tour guide was Joanne, she took me through Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam. She was very knowledgeable about the areas and was able to give me some historical information about how they developed. She also pointed out some places she thought would interest me as we chatted throughout the morning. I felt like she went above and beyond to give recommendations for solo exploring in the upcoming days. What I like the most about this tour is that it’s catered to your interests, the personal feel and local recommendations really put this over the top for me. I’m so glad I did this on my first day in Singapore.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Joanne provided such an insightful and personalized experience. We're glad you enjoyed exploring Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Gelam, and that her recommendations enhanced your time in Singapore.
