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!

My wife and I recently enjoyed a fantastic walking tour of Singapore with our local guide Stan. For context, we have traveled extensively to over 100 countries on all seven continents and use local guides in nearly every city that we visit. More often than not, the guides are excellent and embrace their city, country and knowledge of it. Stan is no exception and is among the finest guides that we have had the pleasure of touring with. He is extremely friendly, witty, very knowledgeable and proud of the magnificent city and country of Singapore. I personally engage guides with many questions as I am generally inquisitive about many subjects including history, politics, architecture, nature, food and local culture. Stan was packed with useful information and eager to share it in a friendly and informative manner. He allocated the right amount of time at each site and knew intuitively when to move along to the next site. I wholeheartedly endorse Stan as an excellent local guide and will be sure to share his name with family and friends who plan to visit Singapore…. Stan will make your experience in Singapore a great time….

We spent 4 hours with our tour guide Kk, who gave us several options on where to start. As my partner and I both work in the arts industry, he took us over to the civic district which housed most of Singapore’s major concert halls and galleries. We then made our way over to Haji Lane and Kampong Glam to explore the busy festivities in the lead up to Ramadan. All the time, Kk gave us wonderful insights into the history of the areas we were passing and tailored the stops to our interests. We even made an out of the way stop at the end to a local indie picture house, a real treat for me as I’m a huge cinephile. Would love to do it all again and have Kk as a guide. It was a wonderful way to spend the day in Singapore.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
