Walking Tour - First visit to Singapore and thought a guided walking tour would be a good introduction. Picked Jack. He was the perfect guide, so friendly and knowledgeable. Showed us places we would never had thought of from the guide books.

Grayson the Great Guide. - Grayson met us at Sentosa Island and gave us an individualized tour by taking us to the Imbiah Trail, by the beach and the Sensory Scape walk. He was very informative and we appreciated the details of the island, and this tour since we were staying on Sentosa Island in Singapore.

Great initial tour of Singapore - We loved our tour with Monica. She is so passionate about all things Singapore. She did an amazing job giving us our bearings in this great town and we really enjoyed learning the history, culture, and backstory for what we saw. She took care of every detail and set us up for success with the rest of our visit. Thanks so much Monica!

First-rate City Kickstart Tour by Grayson - The City Kickstart Tour was an excellent introduction to Singapore. It was the best way to experience the city on our first day. Our tour guide, Grayson was very professional, friendly and highly knowledgeable. We learnt history, culture, government and many more! We enjoyed the Merlion Park, the former City Hall, Cavenagh Bridge, thé Parliament House, Victoria Theater and Concert Hall. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our favorite place was the Fullerton Hotel for its grandeur, historic architecture and its importance to the history of Singapore. We highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit Singapore for the first time. We appreciate Grayson’s ability to make us feel welcome. Thank you Grayson for the wonderful tour!

Good way as an introduction to the city. - We sort of mucked Jack around with start times, and he was super chill about it (we did get there on time in the end). As we had spent 40 hours without sleep (thank you Emirates!), we didn't have any real direction for Jack, but he managed to show us some of the history and certainly his knowledge of Singapore is second to none. At the end of the 90 minute introduction to Singapore he even hand delivered us to Raffles and told us about the history of it on the way!

Expensive cup of tea - Some hiccups with communication so our “tour” started over an hour late. Was not what we expected based on reviews. We thought it was a small walking tour to orient visitors , but if we had known we were expected to come with a list of questions we would have probably thought twice. Jack was very pleasant, bought us a cup of tea. Walked us to closest MRT station and that was it. $155 for a cup of tea a few warnings and info we could have googled like population of Singapore. I think the description of tour is lacking important detail, calling it a tour is also misleading.
