Explore Singapore Beyond the Tourist Spots

My husband and I visited Singapore for the very first time in March. I reserved a 3.5 hour walking tour with a great guide named Stan. He corresponded with me prior to leaving the US in order to plan our trip. I felt comfortable asking him advice on other areas prior to arriving, and he was happy to provide the information. He met us right on time the day of our tour at our hotel. Together we used the Grab app which I downloaded prior to arriving in Singapore. This is Singapore’s Uber. We took our first ride to the Gardens by the Bay. Stan was so knowledgeable about every aspect of this beautiful garden area. He matched our pace for walking through the gardens. He wanted his clients to be engaged. After the Gardens, we took another Grab ride to Chinatown. Before walking through Chinatown, we went into a City Center area on the second floor where we saw a huge model of city of Singapore. It was so interesting to be able to see the entire city, by walking around this model. Highly recommend this stop. Next, we walked around this area until our time was up. He shared the history of the various temples, churches, and mosques. Stan is a very smart and enthusiastic guide! The perfect combination. We loved our time with him. We ended our day with a lunch. We enjoyed our time with Stan. He became our friend! Thank you, Stan.

Jack put together a great tour which he designed based on our feedback--good communication and a great way to see exactly what YOU want to see on a tour. Highly recommend Jack!

From the start, Stan (our wonderful guide) corresponded with me to plan the 3.5 hour tour in Singapore. If I had ANY question while still in the US, I felt comfortable to ask Stan. He helped me prepare for our arrival at the Changi airport Jewel Rain Vortex, for he highly recommend we see it upon our arrival. So glad we did! During our tour, he took us to the Gardens on the Bay and into Chinatown. Both locations filled our tour time frame. Stan was extremely knowledgeable about these areas. He is so smart, but doesn’t talk over your head. He asked great questions, and he listened. He wanted our tour to be enjoyable! And it truly was! We matched his pace perfectly, so we were able to do a lot in those 3.5 hours cause he has lots of energy. We like to be on the move, so it was a perfect experience. Thank you, Stan!

Had a guided tour with Adam Chay in Singapore. Thanks to efficient communication with Adam before the tour he was able to focus on the areas of the city that we weren’t otherwise visiting. This made for a very effective use of time as we took in Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam and other gems. Adam is extremely knowledgeable about the history and creation of Singapore and had answers for all of my questions during the 5 hours. You really get the sense of embedding yourself into the culture of Singapore and that’s surely why we all like travelling and visiting new places. Adam was first class, friendly, knowledgeable and good fun!
