I am a Tour Guide
Hey there, I'm a born and bred Singaporean who's bursting with pride and enthusiasm for my hometown! As your local host, I'm eager to show you all of our city's highlights and give you a truly authentic Singaporean experience. Our small but vibrant country boasts an incredible blend of cultures, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian, and the unique Peranakan culture. As a local expert, I'm thrilled to share the history, food, lifestyle, and fashion of the Peranakan culture with you - it's a true gem that you won't find anywhere else in the world. And, of course, we can't talk about Singapore without mentioning our beloved founding father, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, whose legacy still resonates throughout the city. During our time together, we'll explore all the must-visit spots in Singapore - and thanks to our convenient and centrally located attractions, you'll have plenty of time to take it all in. From the civic district to the museums and botanic gardens, there's no shortage of incredible sights to see and experiences to be had. So what are you waiting for? Come experience Singapore's beauty, culture, and excitement with me as your local host - I can't wait to show you around!

Our group had requested for an “off-the-beaten path” tour and Jon delivered! We had a very eventful half-day learning about some of Singapore’s culture and recent history while receiving tips on how to spend the rest of our time in the city. Highly recommended guide!

The Singapore Street Food Tour was one of the most enjoyable food tours we’ve experienced. Jon was an informative, fun, and knowledgeable guide. He made the experience memorable.

I was alone with the guide Jon all day. He is a pleasant, uncomplicated and very knowledgeable local who gave me a great introduction to the city and the local street food. We had a lot of fun. He responded to my individual needs/wishes and we were able to adapt the tour to suit our current needs at any time. There is a huge difference between exploring a city with a guide or going out on your own. Even an experience in a larger group cannot be compared to this individual support. Thank you very much, Jon, for this great day. 100% recommendation for individual Singapore exploration
