There is no way we could have done this on our own. Excellent!!!! - We had the privilege to spend a day with Meng Teck as he showed us around his beautiful city of Singapore. He was thorough, patient and informative. I have a diabetic daughter and two hours into the tour, she realized she left some of her medicine at the hotel. Although it was out of the way, we back-tracked to get her medicine. For Meng, it was not a problem. He didn't say "Well sorry, we'll have to cut some stuff out of the end." He let us continue on right where we left off. We've travelled a lot, but in researching our trip, I found Singapore challenging. Hiring Meng was the best decision we could have made. Prior to our arrival, he asked about some things we wanted to see. He then made other suggestions and tailor-made our trip. It was perfect. He treated us to an awesome ice cream sandwich. It was literally an ice cream (ice cream) sandwich (slice of bread). So interesting. He showed us pictures of old Singapore on his phone so we could compare what it was like now. He never got tired of our questions or in wanting to stop for a water (it was hot). For lunch, he took us to a restaurant in Chinatown and ordered for us. We would have never found the cool restaurant he took us to. After a day with Meng, we felt comfortable navigating the city. This was one of those trips where you feel like you just spent a day with a friend. We hope to see Meng in the future and we would encourage all to use him for your trip to Singapore. Thanks Meng!!!

Singapore is amazing! - We like Leo! He made our trip to Singapore, much more enjoyable, as we got a great understanding of the history of the city and its people. Like most people, we did the hop on hop off bus, which was great, and it showed us a lot of geography. But Leo’s tour gave us a lot of the rich history and insights into this fantastic city/country that we will have never known just riding by on a bus. We enjoyed getting a better understanding of the history and plans for the future. We enjoyed his personal insights, his humor, and the way he approached our tour. We would highly recommend using Leo.

Our Day with Jon - Jon's guided tour through Singapore was nothing short of extraordinary! His in-depth knowledge and passion for the city's history brought every location to life. From the iconic Raffles Hotel and the Long Bar, where they invented the Singapore Slings, to the vibrant Haji Lane and Kampong Glam Malay Cultural Heritage, Jon seamlessly navigated us through the rich tapestry of Singapore's past and present. The journey continued through Little India, Clarke Quay, Fort Canning Spices Garden, St Andrew Cathedral, Former Supreme Court, City Hall, Padang, Suntec City, Singapore Flyer, Merlion Park, and the Bayfront Area. Each stop was a captivating chapter in Singapore's story, and Jon's expertise made it an unforgettable experience. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made the tour not just informative but truly enlightening. A heartfelt thank you to Jon for making our exploration of Singapore an absolute delight!

The best tour - Leo is an amazing tour guide and taught us so much about Singapore. All of the stops he planned were fun and interesting. His local knowledge was way above our expectations and we learned so much! Leo was flexible when our travel made us late to the tour starting and was willing to stay later to accommodate which was so kind. Our tour with Leo was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip around Asia. He truly made it special! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Singapore.

Walking with Leo - Four of us took the Full Coverage Singapore City Tour with Leo on 26 Nov 2023. We had very full, fast-paced day with Leo. Leo was terrific at keeping in touch and adjusted his Tour plan based on what we had already seen on our own. This was a great way to see many of the Singapore sites, but beware, it is a long walking tour. I'm sure Leo may be able to adjust if needed, and he is very good at communicating, so feel free to reach out for alternatives if you think an all-day walking tour may be too much. At our request, Leo adjusted the tour times to begin after lunch and end after dark, in time to see the light shows at Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands. Terrific ambassador for Singapore with a wealth of knowledge about culture, geography and history. I would highly recommend.

Amazing Introduction to Singapore - The tour with HJ was such an amazing introduction to our stay in Singapore! We learned so much about Singapore's culture and lifestyle. He gauged our interests during the tour and took us to places that truly made us feel the tour was tailored to what we wanted to explore in Singapore. We visited places we wouldn't have though to visit and we're so lucky to have him show us those gems! Book him now!

Oustanding blitskrieg tour of Singapore - From start to finish Jon was a five star guide. Great communication prior to landing and efficient for airport pick up. In three hours he was able to show us the highlights of Singapore, while entertaining us with interesting stories and background. His timing was excellent and we were able to make it back on time for our flight. Highly recommended.

Great tour with a great guide - We had a great tour of Singapore with HJ. We customized the tour a bit at the beginning which was nice and spent the entire day getting to know Singapore from both a tourist and local perspective, including checking out how public housing works on the country. In all I came away with a greater understanding of Singapore and it's people. Highly recommend this tour.
