Good food and good company. - Our guide was great! Ash knew and told us about all sorts of facts about living in Singapore and the food. She was great at explaining to us in a knowledgeable and accessible way. There is someone that organised a table and the food before you get there so it’s well organised. I would recommend!

Ash is the most fun and knowledgeable tour guide ever! - I did this tour with Ash and from the moment I met her I felt relaxed as it was going to be just us 2 gals hanging out and can I say it felt like 2 gals hanging out and about in the streets of Singapore. Ash is the most fun and knowledgeable tour guide ever! I highly, highly recommend you do a tour with Ash as she knows her stuff, she’s got a fun personality, is patient (if you’re someone who loves to take pictures and videos like I do) and she will steer you to the best parts of town for fantastic views and some history. My only disappointment is that I’m not staying longer so that I could do another tour with Ash to get a better feel for Singapore but I will definitely hit her up the next time I’m in town! Thanks Ash for being so awesome!
