Hey there! I'm Roy, your easygoing host in the bustling city-state of Singapore. Hawker centers? Oh, they're the heartbeat of our culture! And imagine experiencing the tapestry of our heritage areas, all in just a day. From the magnetic charm of Marina Bay's transformation story to the vibrant pockets of Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam, there's so much to uncover. On a break from city life, I love to embrace Singapore's "City in Nature" ethos with hikes along our southern ridges and Bukit Timah. And if you're keen on exhibitions, tight-budget tips, or a journey through WWII sites, I've got you! Let's embark on a flavorful and fun journey together!

My reviews

The private food tour was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Roy was not only informative in the food of Singapore but also the cultural and history. He contacted prior and asked of our preferences and possible dislike in types of food. A can't miss experience. Not recommended for McDonald Lover's. This is a real food tour.

Roy is amazing. Excellent Singapore knowledge presented perfectly. The food choices were amazing and all of Singaporean or Asian history. He catered to our preferences perfectly. Communicated before trip to ensure are needs and choices were met. An Ambassador of Singapore and the beautiful country. The history and culture development was well presented. He loves his job. Reminder to all the read this, a food culture tour is just that. If you want to go to a McDonalds and fast food then don’t pick this type of tour. Thanks Roy for an unforgettable day

Roy was a very knowledgeable, courteous and entertaining guide and adapted the tour well to suit my personal interests and the time available. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the history and culture of Singapore. This was my first private walking tour but would definitely prefer this format when visiting a new city in the future.
