Hi, I'm Jimmy, a passionate local host in Singapore with a deep love for the city's vibrant culture and rich history. My day often starts with savoring delightful street food like Chwee Kueh or Bak Chor Mee in the charming Tiong Bahru neighborhood, where I reminisce about my childhood. I enjoy exploring the city’s diverse neighborhoods, from the bustling streets of Chinatown to the serene Botanical Gardens, all while indulging in our renowned street food and hawker culture. I also take great pleasure in understanding and sharing Singapore's incredible journey from a third-world to a first-world country. Whether you're interested in our historical sites in the Civic District, the dynamic Marina Bay area, or the hidden gems of the local heartlands, I’m here to show you it all. My goal is to provide a unique, enriching experience that highlights Singapore's multicultural harmony, rich history, and, of course, its status as a food paradise.

Had a fantastic time with Jimmy who took us to so many stalls within Chinatown where we ate some unique food. Cannot recommend this trip enough - it’s fantastic and going with someone with the knowledge he has is a must. If you go listen to Jimmy’s advice and pace yourself with the food. I lost count of the number of dishes we ate but you will not be left wanting more. A fantastic culinary journey and my thanks goes out to Jimmy !!!!!

Jimmy was a fantastic guide. After the tour with him, I feel like I would qualify to be a local. He showed me everything I requested and gave me all the details possible. I know Singapore more than I could have read in a book. He was so patient with answering my questions and taking my pictures. The tour guide can make or break your experience, Jimmy definitely made my Singapore experience.
