Amazng day with Leo!
Where do I begin? It was excellent! Being a solo traveler I like having tour guides and Leo is one of my top 5 memorable guides of all time. He met me at my hotel (very kind of him and convenient for me) and had a loaded metro card ready for me to use. We used the clean and air conditioned underground train and walked for our tour. He knows the Downtown Core like the back of his hand and shared all the past, present and future facts of Singapore with me. He is extremely knowledgeable and enjoys questions. He taught me about their judicial government, Chinese history, educational system, food, religion and even Formula 1 (I’m a big fan). His way of sharing all this information was interesting, personal and timed to perfection so that when we discussed a topic, we were literally standing in that spot. I don’t think there are many places in the world where a tour like this one can exist. Leo and I had a fabulous day together and I was sad for it to end. He gave me valuable information to continue my day and evening. I highly recommend this tour and definitely with Leo. By the way, my metro card still had money left on it so I gave it to a worker at my hotel. It’s good to pay it forward.

Best personal family tour
Our family of 4 from Brisbane with 2 teenagers spent a wonderful afternoon with William. He went above and beyond to look after us (keeping us hydrated and as cool as possible), provide us with the most amazing food experiences Singapore has to offer and overall, just so friendly and sweet. He gave us a real insight into life in Singapore, how the different cultures work together, lessons on how to order at Hawker markets and use the MRT network. We could not have asked for a kinder, friendlier guide to welcome us to Singapore. And considering we only had a few days to explore the island, we felt like he fitted at least 2 days of experiences into one afternoon. It was the highlight of our brief holiday and I have already recommended William to many friends back home in Australia.

Top-notch Food Tour
We had a great food tour with Grayson. In addition to being knowledgeable about the food, he shared lots of good information about Singapore and the history of the area. The foods he chose for us to sample were delicious and he provided a wide range of new flavours for us to try. He was great company all day and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a tour!

Wonderful afternoon, wonderful host!
My friend and I had a private tour of the hawker centres in Kampong Glam, Little India and Chinatown arranged within a day's notice. We had great food and lots of insights into both historical and modern Singapore. Grayson was kind, funny, considerate and so knowledgeable. This was the highlight of our trip.
