Stories, Insight, and a Truly Engaging Trip with Raymond

5.00The trip was both dynamic and highly informative. Raymond was extremely attentive throughout, always making sure everyone felt comfortable. He brought the experience to life with engaging stories and shared interesting information, which made the journey not only educational but also very enjoyable. I wish we could have entered the Sri Marimman Temple and also wish we could have entered the Buddha Tooth temple in Chinatown to see the relic and go to the garden on the top.
We managed to cover a huge amount of Singapore on the tour. Raymond also gave us many pointers on places to eat / visit

5.00We enjoyed walking through Chinatown, Little India, and the Malay quarter with Jolynn, who told us about Singapore's history along the way. She was very efficient, guiding us through the streets, stopping in shady spots while helping us stay hydrated in the heat. She gave us interesting personal anecdotes as well since she grew up in Chinatown, showing us the shophouse where she once lived, with a neighbor whose former shop is now preserved as a museum. The first 3 hours went by very quickly! We rode the MRT as well to reduce the walking, and ended the tour near the Sultan Mosque where we had lunch afterwards. This was a great first tour in Singapore!
Great tour

5.00We went on this tour with Jolynn and found the tour very interesting end enjoyable. We learned a lot about Singapore’s history, and the various cultures. We covered a lot of territory in a short period of time. She was well organized, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. After the tour ended she went out of her way to get us to the right point to meet our next activity. Highly recommend the tour and this guide.
