Great Walking tour of Singapore - We had an excellent tour with Su Ling. She took us to the places we wanted to see, gave us great explanations and background about Singapore. I would highly recommend this tour, if you do not mind walking or taking public transportation. I liked that the company communicated far in advance of our tour and tailored things to what we wanted to see.

Singapore with Pam, outstanding! - Pam was an excellent guide. We had a half day tour yesterday and full day today. We would never have captured the flavour of Singapore without her expert guidance. She was knowledgeable, worked with our interests, was flexible and showed us what makes Singapore special. Her daily recap and photos are helpful as reminders of our very busy fun days

Delightful walking tour of Singapore - Our tour guide Pam is native Singaporean. Her knowledge of the sights and history was very thorough. She was very attentive to our interests and met and exceeded our expectations. Our only regret was not having enough time to enjoy all of the wonderful food and sights Singapore has to offer. We plan to come back and spend more time.

Su Ling is a terrific guide for your visit to Singapore - Su Ling was a terrific tour guide, for our first visit to Singapore. She showed us all around the city, from the oldest district (started by Sir Stamford Raffles), to the latest, most advanced skyscrapers and shopping districts. Along the way, we toured the financial district, the waterfront, Chinatown, Little India, stopped at the Maxwell Center for an authentic Singapore lunch, and generally enjoyed ourselves all day. Su Ling has a wealth of knowledge and is incredibly friendly and creative. We truly enjoyed our time with her, and we know you will too.

Being a local for the day - Our Singapore private tour with the BEST tour guide (Pamela Loh) and our spectacular driver Bernard. My husband and I have high expectations when traveling. We like to experience as many things as possible in a given day but do not want to be rushed or herded like sheep. We also want a guide that is knowledgeable, friendly and gives you an immersive experience as a local.
I highly recommend Hello Singapore Tours and you will not be disappointed—request Pamela as she was excellent, knowledgeable, respectful, entertaining and just extremely fun to spend the entire day with around the city.
Recap of the tour
First, we checked out the National Orchids Garden where we saw many wild and hybrid orchids.
Then, we stopped at Marina Bay overlooking the iconic Marina Bay Sands and learned of the story of Merlion. We saw Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore and visited the old parliament house before making it along our Singapore River into Fullerton Hotel, the former General Post Office.
Next, Bernard drove us to the oldest Chinese temple in Singapore, Thian Hock Keng. After which, we made our way to the heart of Chinatown. Along the way, you tried the pandan chiffon cake. Then, we also had lunch at Chinatown hawker centre where you tried a local snack, popiah (fresh spring roll), carrot cake, chicken rice where you washed it down with the tiger beer.
Lastly, we visited Gardens by the Bay, the 2 conservatory domes, Flower Dome and Cloud Forest where you saw more cherry blossoms where you thought you were done with in Tokyo and the second tallest indoor waterfall in the world.

Pamela is a tour guide was five stars all the way! - Pamela was an amazing guide and we had a fantastic time seeing the local sites in Singapore. As a Neurosurgeon, I am not easily impressed with the work ethic of other people often come quite disappointed from things like this. Hello Singapore tour guided by Pamela was simply outstanding in my book. We covered a lot of ground in our six hour tour and Pamela was incredibly informative and a real pleasure to work with. From her prompt meeting at the airport and the luxurious van accommodations and outstanding driver during the tour we felt comfortable with her right from the start. Well organized well sold out itinerary and color commentary gave us a good understanding of the history of Singapore.

Go with Hello Singapore to deeply see the city! - We took an amazing 1/2 day private tour with Gee Soo. Not only did he take us to all the main sights, but took us to places we wanted to see. He was so energetic, loved his city and was very thorough. He took pictures of us all along the way which we value greatly. When we finished the tour he sent us an email with all the pictures he had taken along with a summary of our tour. It was one of the most amazing tours we have ever taken anywhere.
