Interesting & super fun - The highlight of our trip to Singapore! We highly recommend Tuan Choon, who adapted this tour to the specific needs of our group (we were slow walkers!) We learned so much about Singapore's history, Chinatown's art and development, Buddhism and its traditions. To top it all off, TC introduced to lovely Chinese snacks in a nearby hawker center. Couldn't have been more pleasant. Thank you!
