Best tour of Singapore ! - Our Guide Monica was extremely flexible, she met us at a site of our choice, and then came earlier than planned since we had arrived early. She asked us what pace we wanted go at and listened to our request. Monica knew every short cut, every shaded walkway, and every air conditioned path we could take. We covered every major site, saw fantastic hotels, experienced a Buddhist service, and learned a lot of history along the way. Her english was excellent and she truly loved being a tour guide. We would STRONGLY suggest you book her for your Singapore Tour, it was worth every penny. After many years of international travel, we would say she was THE BEST tour guide we have ever had!!!!

Great tour - We had a great day with Jossie in Singapore. She led us to unexpected locations and great views. She shared her broad knowledge about her hometown and gave useful hints and tips for enjoying Singapore the best way. We loved her stories about Singapore‘s history and the architectural features the town has to offer. We won‘t have been to all the spots Jossie led us to and enjoyed the time with her very much. She showed us how to enjoy a hawker visit and introduced us to some new food experiences. Thanks once again for a time totally opposite of boring. All the best from us.

Wonderful Singapore - It was loads of fun and very informative Singapore is a wonderful city, full of so many different nationalities and religions. The city is spotlessly clean, people are delightful and, apart from the heat, I love coming back here

Fantastic introduction to Singapore - Our 4 hour tour of Singapore with Grayson was great. He provided a very understandable review of its complicated history. He gave us a comprehensive tour of important sites including great neighborhoods and important sites not mentioned in the guide books or blogs. He also provided valuable insights and information as to what we should visit on our own. He is thoughtful, patient, very helpful and very well spoken. He provided a suggested tour for his 4 hours with us and was also very flexible

Best Tour in Singapore! - Ang was one of the best tour guides we've had. He is full of knowledge, takes guests to a number of "off the beaten path" sites, and even provides a few local gifts. He is very proud of Singapore and his excitement for showing others around is quite evident. I highly recommend this tour!

The Best of Singapore - Michelle Chen of Tours by Locals provided 4 older women an outstanding custom tour of Singapore. We were arriving by plane in the early morning and were due to check onto a cruise ship that afternoon in Singapore. Knowing that the time between the airplane and the cruise ship was the only time available to see Singapore, we engaged Michelle. She was waiting for us when we appeared in the Arrivals hall of the Airport and immediately engaged us by directing us to look at the famous airport waterfall and visit a restroom before we loaded our luggage in the van. We had a wonderful time. Balancing our desire to see as much as possible in the few hours we had with the needs of weary travelers was clearly thought through and managed well. The drive by through the center city worked well to be able to view the parliament, supreme court (old and new), various museums, the wonderful Raffles Hotel, the financial district, and the hotel district. We appreciated very much the photo stop at the Raffles and the details like the canoe on the top of the hotel. The drive gave us time to catch our breath and be ready to walk the waterfront area. Michelle was ready with umbrellas and paced our walk to the famous Merlion statute. The walk in Chinatown was just right to let us experience the area and learn about the nature of the Chinese New Year celebration, the kinds of food available like dorian fruit and dried sausages and whole dried ducks. The stop for tea and treats was a wonderful experience and timed just right to give us a moments rest. And the visit to the Buddhist temple and the garden stroll before the drop off at the ship's port terminal was lovely and very interesting. Michelle's excellent English, warm and charming personality, and considerate planning made her company easy and made this tour a delight and more than we could have hoped for particularly given the pressure of picking us up directly from 35 hours of flight travel. We finished feeling that we had some familiarity with Singapore, had learned a lot, and had a very good time. There is nothing about this tour experience I would change and Michelle has my highest recommendation for anyone seeking to experience Singapore.

Helpful, considerate and professional. - Peter was knowledgeable about the history and culture of Singapore. Very considerate and professional guide in every way. He showed us the in’s and out’s of the transportation system in Singapore-a big savings over a taxi. Lots of extras after the tour on things to see and do in Singapore.
