The Real Singapore - If you want to get away from the city, away from the typical tourist stops, and experience how the locals live, Richard is your guide.
Full of historical knowledge, a deep appreciation of nature, and a very friendly nature, Richard's tour was engaging and thought provoking.
I can't recommend Richard highly enough. Thank you!

Fabulous tour of Local life in Singapore - Monica was the tour guide extraordinaire!!
She is passionate, dedicated and has a great sense of humor. Our family of 5 adults , thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her.
We learnt so much about life for ordinary Singaporeans.
Having visited Singapore several times we were unaware of so many facts. Even our friends who are 3rd generation Singaporeans were surprised at how much we learnt !!
Monica made the tour so interesting- we learnt about Taoism and experienced how locals live and spend their time.
We highly recommend Monica….you will have a lot of fun and appreciate the tour.

Wonderful Tour in Singapore With Monica - Monica is one of the best and kindest tour guides that we have met! She took us on a special journey of how the local Singaporeans live. Due to the hot weather, Monica was able to navigate our tour by alternating walking with a few comfortable air conditioned bus rides. We would not be able to explore these interesting but less traveled districts without Monica’s expert guidance. In addition, she was so kind to share her helpful food suggestions, special landmarks, and a “secret” air conditioned underground passage to the Merlion statue. If you are seeking a knowledgeable guide in Singapore, Monica has my highest recommendation.

Monica is amazing - Monica was a fantastic guide and we learned so much walking around with her. Make sure to bring lots of water and wear cool clothes, we thought we did but we got quite over-heated. Monica took good care of us and we had a great time!

Great tour of a different part of Singapore most tourists never see - This was a great tour. Richard was a great guide, he was articulate, tried to connect with each of us, showed us cool tricks, shared interesting facts about both the past of Singapore and its present, and made great jokes. Richard was a great guy, showed us how he lived, gave us refreshments while talking about the housing situation of Singapore, and gave us fun facts that even the average Singaporean might not know. Over all, 10/10 tour.
Tip. Bring water.

A Fantastic Tour - Monica was the perfect guide for us, kind, thoughtful, happy and informative. She gave us a wonderful insight to how the locals live. We rode by public bus and subway, visited two temples, the oldest village in Singapore, had refreshments with the locals in a coffee shop, walked through a public housing development and saw so much more. Monica answered all our questions and was enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge. For something a little different and a great experience we would definitely recommend doing the “Off the Beaten Track in Singapore” tour especially with Monica.

Off the beaten track in Singapore, spending time with the locals. - Richard was a very attentive, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable host with a true passion to preserve his heritage. We were taken back in time to a simpler way of life, living off the land in simple homes following a trail through the local community. We were introduced to several species of plants and fruits, which we tasted with Richard’s guidance and knowledge. During our tour we came across many birds, insects and even saw Turtles in the local river. Our journey ended in a modern community, where Richard explained the interaction on all levels of how people live today. We finished our journey with a very tasty local meal. Needless to say this was a fantastic experience off the beaten track not to be missed.

Great tour off the beaten path in Singapore - Monica was just great! She led us through a tour of her own neighborhood, giving us a glimpse of what real life in Singapore is. She answered all our questions and conversation was always interesting. She really has a passion to tell and show others a little bit of real Singapore. We highly recommend her tour and herself as your friendly guide in Singapore.
