I am a local born Chinese and I am a licensed tourist guide in Singapore. I love to share the wonderful mix of Singapore culture, tradition, races and history of Singapore. Singapore is a wonderful city where you will never be bored as she have so much to offer. The food, heritage, attractions and shopping. We have wonderful war museum too and as an in house guide for two of our most wonderful museums, I am sure I can provide you with a better in depth of our war history. Having been borne and live all my life here and as a senior citizen, I witnessed the transformation of Singapore progress from a third world to what we are a first world country. I can share with you little bit of history and experience which will otherwise be lost. Having lived all my life here in Singapore, I have the unfair advantage where I can share with you some my experience where the younger generation would not be able to. Whether you are young or old, there is always something there for you to discover. Our rich diversified culture will leave you amazed as this is probably the only place in planet earth to see various ethnic groups with different religion that can co exist peacefully. Where else can you find people of different ethic, religion and race sitting down together to eat a meal, travel on public transport , living together and even attending the same school? I love to walk and I am willing to do tour without transport. But if you requires transport, I will arrange a comfortable transport that come with a professional driver. In this way, I will be able to give you all full attention as a guide. I look forward to seeing you and I can't wait to tell you my Singapore story.

Overview of your Singapore tour

Join me on a 4-hour journey through Singapore's vibrant Civic District, where we'll uncover the city-state's rich history from colonial times to its modern-day triumphs. As we explore the downtown core, you'll discover the unique charm of each neighborhood, from historic landmarks to cultural hotspots. We'll stop by the iconic Merlion, Singapore's beloved mascot, and I'll share fascinating trivia and personal anecdotes about this symbol of the city. We'll also take a scenic stroll along the riverfront, admiring the stunning architecture and taking in the sights. To add a touch of nostalgia, we can embark on a Singapore River Cruise, which will transport us back to the colonial era. Throughout our journey, I'll share my personal experiences and insights into the multicultural society that defines Singapore, where diverse races, languages, and religions come together in harmony. Get ready for an immersive experience that will leave you with lasting memories of my beloved country !!!

I highly recommend Walter T if you are visiting Singapore! He is very knowledgeable on the history and logistics of the area; he will share all the details you can handle! We went to Little India, Kampong Glam and Chinatown. He showed me Michelin star restaurants in the Hawker Center where food is very inexpensive! In addition, he is flexible on the itinerary – for example, he came early to my hotel and he took me to Raffles as it was on my bucket list- which was a bit impromptu move. We got in as the bar opens at 11AM and it was included as part of my tour! I learned a lot and it was a great experience! Thank you Walter T!!

Walter was a great tour guide in Singapore. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had a great sense of humor. He explained a great deal about the history and ethnicity of the people of Singapore. I recommend his tour. The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 was because it was very hot and humid!

Loved this tour. Walter was amazing. Showed us so many highlights and his knowledge of Singapore’s history was incredible. He was caring, considerate and respectful. His love for Singapore was reflected from the beginning to the end of this tour. He also has a fabulous personality and sense of humor.

We've traveled much of the world, and we've probably taken (and sometimes endured) over 250 tours). This tour with Walter was easily one of the half dozen best we've ever taken. Walter arrived a bit early to pick us up, and we drove to any number of interesting areas with Walter supplying facts and history about each. In just 4 hours, we covered most of the sites of Singapore. I have some mobility issues, but Walter kept the walking to reasonable intervals (along with driving us from one place to another) at a pace I could handle. He also took and sent us terrific pictures of us along the way. I'd give him more than 5 stars if I could.

Walter gave us a great tour. He not only showed us the neighborhoods of Singapore, he also let us experience the culture and understand what makes Singapore such a special place. We'd highly recommend booking this tour.
