Private Singapore Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a custom Private & 100% Personalised City Unscripted Tour of Singapore with our guide, Stefan and it was truly unforgettable! From the start, Stefan provided clear and helpful directions to our meeting point and even recommended bringing water and an umbrella to prepare for the day—such a thoughtful touch! The tour was perfectly tailored to our interests, which included learning about Singapore\'s culture, architecture, history, and food. Stefan took the time to ask about any dietary restrictions or allergies, ensuring that the food experiences were both safe and enjoyable. We had so many incredible highlights during the day, including trying durian fruit, enjoying a delicious vegetarian lunch, and participating in a relaxing tea-tasting session. The visit to the Buddha temple was especially memorable, as Stefan shared fascinating stories about its history and significance especially the story of Avalokiteśvara. Throughout the tour, Stefan\'s knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail truly stood out. He made us feel comfortable, curious, and inspired, all while offering insights that deepened our appreciation for Singapore\'s rich heritage.
A Half Day In Naples With A Local: Private & Personalized
We just had one the most wonderful guides in our experience to take us around. Nunzia was so knowledgable, passionate and supportive . She planned the tour so well and was in touch with us couple of days earlier and provided us all the details. She issued the subway tickets in advance , invited us for coffee and gelato !! Overall the tour is highly recommended.

Secret gems of Kanazawa
Our guide, Selda, was informative, knowledgeable and passionate about Kanazawa. This helped us understand more of the ancient traditions and culture as well as the local craftsmanship. We saw so much that we would not have been able to do alone. We have also had terrific communication with her before and after the tour. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous friendly host Wahida was, she certainly gives you some of the great sneaky hide away places that you wouldn\'t have discovered on your own. We certainly enjoyed all the history that she shared with us. Hopefully 1 day we will meet again, im the meantime don\'t hesitate to call on her services.
The most brilliant day!
Alex was a great host and very knowledgeable. We wanted a mixture of landmark temples and off the beaten track and he provided an excellent experience. He accommodated our needs by meeting us at our hotel and finishing our tour at the Imperial Palace. I would recommend Alex, he helped us cover a lot of ground in our 24 hours in Kyoto!
A wonderful tour!
Marta was wonderful! She she brought her experiences growing up in Naples to illuminate the culture and traditions of the city. We saw many things we would have missed on our own. We love you Marta!
Knowledgeable and kindness
Speak well in English and Chinese
Silly jokes, interesting sights, great company!
Matti was a very friendly and gracious guide. He walked us all around the Kensington Market and Chinatown neighborhoods, sharing interesting facts about the city and cracking jokes the whole way. We had a really nice evening walking around and exploring Toronto. Because it was a Monday unfortunately a lot of unique food destinations were closed, but that’s on me for booking the tour on a Monday. We still enjoyed ourselves and I would highly recommend Matti to anyone looking to have fun exploring the Toronto downtown!
Our guide, Selda, was so informative, knowledgeable and passionate about what Kanazawa has to offer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Selda and saw so much of the city that we would not have been able to do without a guide. She also helped us to understand the ancient traditions and culture as well as the local crafts. A fabulous tour.
His knowledge of Singapore is outstanding as well as his friendliness and his eagerness to accommodate us 100%.
He arranged a perfect day tour of Singapore for us. We really got to see a lot and learned so much about the city from him. We are avid world travelers and know that a guide can make or break your tour. He certainly is a maker!
