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.

Jimmy was an amazing tour guide. As a Singaporean having lived his entire life in Singapore he had great stories and knowledge to share! He took the time prior to our trip to ensure that the plan he put together was what we were looking for. He was patient and kind and had great food recommendations! I would highly recommend requesting him on your next trip to Singapore!

Jimmy was a wealth of information and took us off the beaten track to view areas nobody would see without local input. Other tourists heard Jimmys detailed knowledge and were in awe at what he had to tell us. All in all a great experience and we have an appreciation what makes Singapore great which is the people.
