Hi, I’m Wahida
I’ve lived in Singapore for 44 years
I speak English, Tamil and Malay
I am Tour Guide
I have a keen interest in and knowledge of various ethnic groups and their culture in Singapore like festivals, food, practices, religion and customs. So you can ask me about the ins and outs of various cultures. Hidden are the stories to be told while exploring the streets of many forefathers. I am a Chindian (mixed parentage of Chinese and Indian) and a Muslim by religion, so I can give a wonderful insight into everything local from heritage, history, cheap and branded shopping, hawker food to restaurants and places of worship. Visiting the local wet markets is one of my favourite pastimes. I enjoy looking for fresh ingredients and getting a good bargain. You could join me on a leisure walk in Fort Canning Park or the Gardens by the Bay. Flower Dome is my favourite as it has seasonal flower exhibitions throughout the year. Some of my favourite spots are Kampong Glam, Little India and Chinatown. There is just so much to love about Singapore!

I had an AMAZING food tour with Wahida! It wasn't « just » about food at all! Wahida had such a great knowledge of history, geography, culture, trends and recommendations,…... She is a 100% native with a lot of love for her country. Wahida is so nice, fun and yet very professional, can answer ALL your questions, open and all people in Singapore like her. You feel like a cool kid travelling around the city with her because she knows so many people and everybody is happy to see her. She also took really great photos and videos of me, I was so lucky. The communication and whole organisation of the tour was flawless too. She also customised the tour for me and my gluten intolerance, which was a FIRST CLASS service and she made me feel very understood! I was able to enjoy super tasty local gluten-free food, which is otherwise not so easy to find in the city. She really went above and beyond for me. So you see, it's much more than just a 'food tour.

Wahida was a wonderful guide. Lucky me! She was flexible with my interests and very knowledgeable of local cultures and history. It was a good balance of some touristy and not so typical tourist stops.
