Jack is funny, engaging and an expert on the city’s history. He seems to know everyone and shows you a side of the city that is not bustling with only tourists. Cannot recommend him enough as a guide. Excellent experience

Leider war die Tour das Geld nicht wert. Jack's Englisch war für uns (obwohl wir gut Englisch sprechen) kaum oder nur sehr schwer zu verstehen. War aber nicht schlimm, weil Jack uns im Grunde nichts erzählte. Wir marschierte vorweg, wir versuchten ihm mühsam im Gedränge von Chinatown zu folgen. Neue Information erhielten wir kaum, auf Fragen ging er kaum ein. Außerdem bot er uns nach kurzer Zeit an, die Tour zu beenden, weil am Vortag des chinesischen Neujahrsfestes in ChinaTown ohnehin alles geschlossen wäre (und - wo unsere Vermutung - er selbst lieber zurück nach Hause wollte). Warum bestätigt er diese Tour an diesem Abend, wenn das ein ungeeignetes Datum ist? Statt dessen überreichte uns zwei (ohnehin kostenlose) Tickets für eine öffentliche Veranstaltung in den Gardens by the Bay. Zu der Veranstaltung konnte er uns wenig sagen. Wegen seiner schlechten Zeitplanung konnten wir dorthin nur noch mit dem Taxi fahren. In Summe die schlechteste Tour ever mit einem unseres Erachtens ungeeigneten Guide - trotz seines offiziellen Tour Guide Zertifikats.Mega-Flop

Although Jack had some very good local knowledge and we were able to prize the information out of him, it was very hard work. He was quite clear that we had chosen the wrong time to do the tour, which made us wonder why he accepted the commission in the first place. Overall, we were able to gain insight into the Hawker centres and some of the local dynamics, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Jack let us eat a full lunch for the first of five courses, which meant every single next course was a struggle to eat and was very uncomfortable. Finally, his English was questionable, and I found it very hard to understand what he said, so consequently missed a loss of the information. Not worth the money.Could do better…

We had a great time with Jack. He is very fun to be around with, takes great pictures, is a knowledgable guide and has good tips. It was no problem to get along and get some good new viewpoints of Singapore. Was a nice trip. Sunny Singapore

This was our second day with Jack and that morning we had already received all the pictures and videos he taken on our day trip to the Singapore Islands. This level of organisation was very important and unable us to have an excellent morning in the gardens by the bay. The choice of what to see in the large area was well done and we came away extremely impressed with both the cloud forest and the flower garden. Overall an excellent day with a very well informed guide. Gradens tour

Jack is a very informative guide and very well organised sending us lots of details in advance of our day out on Singapore Islands. This was important as the islands have limited infrastructure and having information advance on the need for water and the timetables for the ferries was very important. Jack was punctual in collecting us from our hotel and had a well organised day for us on St John’s Island and then Kusu Island. Jack plans the day with an arrival back into our hotel in Singapore for 1630 and we were back on time. Overall an excellent experience with a very knowledgeable guide, who discusses not only Singapore but is interested in your experiences of travel.Sunyy day on Singapore’s islands
