Unsere Kick-off Singapur Tour mit Tricia war einfach großartig. Sie hat uns bereits am Vortag via WhatsApp in Singapur Willkommen geheissen und am Tag der Tour sehr herzlich empfangen. Tricia hat uns ihre Stadt und Kultur mit so vielen Tips und Infos näher gebracht. Wir haben mit ihr viel gesehen und traditionellen Kaffe, sugar cane juice und sogar Durian probiert. Unsere ganze Familie kann die Tour mit Tricia nur empfehlen.Super Start in Singapur

We had a 7 hour layover in Singapore on our way back to San Francisco. We chose the 1.5 hour tour because we wanted to get back to the airport on time although on a Sunday it was a quick taxi ride there and back. Stefan was our tour guide and he took us around some of the buildings in downtown while giving us history about Singapore and its path to independence. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture and history of the buildings we sa. Stefan was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Quick Singapore Walk

We had the pleasure of spending a day in Singapore with Peter as our tour guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start, Peter impressed us with his extensive knowledge and thoughtful insights. He arranged private transport for us, making the day seamless and comfortable. What truly stood out was Peter’s inspiring perspective on life and his respectful approach to sharing the local way of living. He gave us a deep understanding of the city's diverse cultures, beliefs, and how these communities coexist harmoniously. His explanations about the different districts and the main attractions were both informative and engaging. Peter was attentive to our preferences, ensuring the tour was tailored to our interests.

We sort of mucked Jack around with start times, and he was super chill about it (we did get there on time in the end). As we had spent 40 hours without sleep (thank you Emirates!), we didn't have any real direction for Jack, but he managed to show us some of the history and certainly his knowledge of Singapore is second to none. At the end of the 90 minute introduction to Singapore he even hand delivered us to Raffles and told us about the history of it on the way!Knowledgeable and accommodating.

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!First-rate City Kickstart Tour by Grayson!

Wir haben mit Jack eine City Kickstarttour gebucht. Die Tour war super, Jack hat uns im Vorfeld nach unseren Interessen gefragt und die Tour nach unseren individuellen Wünschen gestaltet. Wir wurden am Hotel abgeholt und Jack hat uns eine Stunde länger durch Singapur geführt als wir gebucht hatten ohne einen Aufpreis zu verlangen. Wenn man die Kickstarttour bucht sollten man vorher genau überlegen was man sehen möchte, in 90 Minuten kann man sich nur auf 1-2 Highlights in Singapur konzentrieren. Prima Tour

We had been given a 90 min tour with Kenny as a Christmas gift and also as a way of providing us with an introduction to Singapore as we had just arrived the previous day. Kenny was excellent, really very knowledgeable about the history of Singapore right up to the present day. The tour self focused on the Chinatown area given we only had 90 mins (given the quality of the tour we wished we had longer) and it was exceptionally interesting. Kenny showed us areas, buildings and important symbols and temples that we would never have come across ourselves. Would highly recommend Kenny if you want a really quality tour and introduction to Singapore.Introduction to Singapore with Kenny

It was my first time in Singapore (and to be honest Asia), I wasn't sure what, where, how to start. The kickstart tour was perfect to do so, especially thanks to Monica. First of all, she found many ways to avoid the heat and the crowds. Then, she is so outgoing and passionate about her city and country, it's a true joy to walk around with her! She talked about the history, the daily life and so many other things about Singapore, it made my day and the rest of my stay there, as I could easily navigate the city with all the info and tips she kindly gave me. :) Many kudos to her, I will keep a great memory of this tour and the city! What a great introduction to Singapore!

Couldn't believe how much we covered in 90 minutes while not being rushed at all. Kenny was extremely knowledgeable and provided great information all the way through the tour. He even provided great information about how to get the most out of the rest of the time we had in Singapore. I just wish we scheduled a longer tour in order to have more time with Kenny. Wish we had scheduled more time

Met de tour van Peter begrijp je in korte tijd veel meer van de stad Singapore en haar bewoners. Peter neemt je aan de hand van een aantal mooie plekken in de stad mee in de huidige en vroegere ontwikkelingen van de stad. Hij schakelt moeiteloos tussen economische, politieke en culturele onderwerpen. Hij weet enorm veel en neemt de tijd om een stukje van die kennus met je te delen. En heel attent en behulpzaam voor een goede start in deze voor ons nieuwe en vreemde stad. Verassende inkijk Singapore

We had such a great time with Grayson! He’s super friendly, very thoughtful, and his English is excellent – he’s got such a rich vocabulary. What really stood out was that he didn’t just tell us about the dishes we tried, but also shared so much about life in Singapore and its different cultures. The food was amazing – every dish was tasty and the order they came in made perfect sense. Our top favorites were definitely the curry puffs, ondeh-ondeh, and the popiah. All in all, it was a really fun and delicious experience. We’d 100% recommend doing this tour with Grayson!More Than Just Food – A Fantastic Tour!

We have just finished a wonderful walking tour through Gardens of the Bay with Marcus and cannot express how happy and satisfied we felt after the tour. Marcus was incredibly knowledgeable about Singapore and the Gardens and was very caring and ensured we remained comfortable in the heat. He obliged by taking many pictures of us and we have a great photographic record of the visit. We were very impressed by his courtesy and friendliness and if you are booking a tour through the Gardens make sure Marcus is your allocated guide.Ernest and Adrianne

We will definitely be sampling some of these delights again before we leave Singapore!!Knowledgable local, super chill

The places we visited on the tour were really interesting and I wouldn’t have found them by myself. And the tips on where to have lunch and what local specialties to try were awesome! Go with Kang, he is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable person who will look after you!

I recently took part in a walking tour of Singapore and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. Our guide Jack was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly, making the history and culture of the city come alive at every stop. From the bustling streets of Chinatown to the serene gardens of the Colonial District, each location had its own fascinating story, which the guide explained with clarity and enthusiasm. One of the highlights was learning about Singapore’s multicultural heritage and how the city has evolved over the years. The guide also shared insider tips on local food stalls and hidden gems, which made the experience feel personal and unique.Excellent Walking Tour in Singapore!
