Hi there! I’m Kavin, your local host in Singapore. I’m passionate about the rich cultural diversity and the amazing variety of food our city has to offer. One of my favorite things about Singapore is the incredible mix of cultures and the delicious food from around the world that you can find here. I love cycling through Singapore’s many beautiful parks, which is a great way to see the city and stay active. When I’m not on my bike, you’ll probably find me checking out the latest gadgets and technology—I'm a bit of a tech enthusiast! I know the neighborhoods like Marina Bay and Chinatown like the back of my hand, so whether you're looking for the best places to eat, shop, or just hang out, I've got you covered. Join me as we uncover the best of Singapore together – there’s so much to see and do, and I can’t wait to share it all with you!

My reviews

We had a wonderful private tour with Kavin. He was super knowledgeable and took great care of us with a tour built around what we wanted to see and learn about. We toured the Colonial District, Chinatown and took a short cruise on the Singapore River.

I booked this tour for my family and we couldn’t have had a better time with Kavin. He completely tailored the experience to what we wanted and told us all about the history of Singapore. The experience was made all the better by his great personality. He made sure we were well fed and hydrated and came prepared with rain ponchos for all of us. You can tell he really knows the history of the place and is extremely passionate when it comes to guiding his guests. We would 100% do another tour with him and can’t recommend him enough!!

One of our companions injured his ankle the day before the tour, and Kavin provided us with options to accommodate the pace we needed to go. My friend didn’t end up joining the tour, and Kavin was ready to adjust our itinerary once again. Kavin gave us insights into the attractions in Singapore as well as give us tips on getting around with the MRT. Overall, the tour was wonderful, and though we were fresh off a 17hr flight, the tour was worth it!
