Hi there! Nice to meet you

Grayson

Grayson is a 4th generation Singaporean born into a Peranakan (Straits-born Chinese) heritage.

After graduating from university, he has left the biomedical industry to pursue his passion in tourism. Grayson has been a licensed Singapore tourist guide for many years now and has hosted visitors from various countries in Asia, Australia/New Zealand, Europe, North America, South America and Africa.

Every tour by Grayson is designed to be insightful, immersive, customisable and fun.

"I love meeting and connecting with people from different cultures. With every tour that I host, I make sure my guests receive the authentic Singapore experience and discover new things about this vibrant city that they would not have discovered otherwise. "

Born and bred in Singapore, Grayson is not only fluent in English but also in Singlish and he knows the hidden gems within the city.

"Whenever I travel overseas, fellow Singaporeans would recognise me as a Singaporean just by the way I talk, my choices of food and the way I bargain. But when I'm not talking, I might just be mistaken for someone from China, Japan or Korea. "

Even though he's a true-blue Singaporean, Grayson is well-travelled, studied in Australia, and has a Filipina wife and a toddler daughter. With a busy schedule hosting tours, he still tries to make time for his personal interests.

"During my free time, I'd love to travel if I can afford to. My interests include playing the guitar, learning new languages, enjoying drinks with friends and letting my family be guinea pigs for new recipes I cook. "

I had a great time with Grayson! He was highly communicative leading up to the tour, which was fantastic. I was flying solo, so it was just me and Grayson. He was really chill, great to talk to, and funny to boot. He is a wealth of information about the local food and culture. As we walked around the city he discussed the history, culture, and architecture along the way. I highly recommend booking with Grayson! Fantastic Experience

Four of us, with little knowledge of Singapore, spent a full day exploring and learning with Grayson. We had visited Marina Bay the previous evening so Grayson immersed us in the history and diverse cultures. Whether it was orchids in the garden, the legal system, or Buddhist temples, Grayson was a wealth of information. We ask a lot of questions and Grayson was so good natured and entertaining and flexibly altered our tour to accommodate us. We highly recommend Grayson for everyone!!Delightful day with Grayson!

Grayson was a very engaging host with a quiet sense of humour. He took us to 3 different hawkers markets each with a different type of Singapore eats - Malay, Indian and Chinese. Our family tasted food we would not have otherwise tried. served as the Singaporeans would. Our favourites were the Teh Tanik and the Kueh Dadar. He also gave us quite a bit of history and took us to an apartment complex to explain the housing in Singapore. The whole tour was highly entertaining and we would recommend both the tour and Grayson.Loved this tour

We had a great time on our tastings tour with Grayson. Grayson had a wealth of knowledge in relation to both the food we tried and Singapore generally. The tour was a great way to see a number of neighbourhoods and taste a range of Singaporean food that we would not normally select. Highly recommend.Knowledgeable guide, wonderful food

Our group of 4 enjoyed the experience with Grayson. He combined historical context to the foods we ate, provided history of the quarters we visited, and gave us plenty of good eats. He was professional and such a gracious guide. Food, Fun, Facts

Grayson gave us a wonderful tour at Singapore including sights, food, history and architecture. Because we had seen some of the city sights before, he adjusted the tour. We understood Grayson easily and he answered all of our questions. We enjoyed the tour, learned a lot, had fun and we can really recommend Grayson as a tour guide.Excellent tailored Singapore tour

We loved our tour with Grayson, we enjoyed every minute. He's extremely knowledgeable about Singapore, we saw/learnt so much we wouldn't have even thought to ask about on our own. We would highly recommend choosing him as your guide. Great tour with Grayson

Grayson gave our family a great walking tour of Singapore. We learned a lot about Singapore’s neighborhoods and history. He went at a good pace and pointed out things we would not have learnt about it on our own. He was also flexible with our start time since one of my sons was not feeling well and even met us at our hotel. Thank you, Grayson, for giving us a great tour! Enjoy your family holiday! Very knowledgeable guide!
