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!

A Day with Leo - We enjoyed Singapore in a Day with Leo. Leo arrived promptly at our hotel at the agreed pickup time and before we set off he took the time at the start of our tour to discuss with us our interests so he could tailor the day to us. The whole tour was done at our pace and we covered everything we wanted to see and then some. He took us to some excellent local food establishments and showed us some great sights. We really enjoyed stopping at Maxwell Hawker Centre for lunch and finishing the day in nature (Mount Faber, Henderson Waves and Southern Reaches Walk). Leo was friendly, passionate, and was hugely knowledgeable and full of information about Singapore and gave us a great overview of the history through to current day. We felt in great hands with Leo and can highly recommend him as your guide.

Singapore with Leo - We had a great day with Leo in Singapore. From pick up at the ship to baggage check at the airport - Leo has given us an unforgettable day. We got to know Singapore, even corners that no one else sees. The selection of all delicacies was great. Freshly showered, we could start the long flight home. Thanks Leo for this great day. We will definitely recommend you. Maybe we'll meet again someday, that would be great.

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.
