What travellers say
Traveller reviews in Singapore
Han was superb. She made our trip memorable. Throughout this day, we felt she was a local member of our family trying both to please us and to tell us her candid views. She went out of her way to tell us what we could do without a guide And what we needed a guide for. A top travel agency couldn't have provided a better guide.

Han was beyond wonderful!!! She took my grandson and me EVERYWHERE & BEYOND... Little India, Kampong Glam, Chinatown, a Buddhist temple, a Mosque, the gorgeous views from Mt Faber Park as well as a fantastic evening light show at Gardens by the Bay. She made certain we tasted Peranakan specialties as well as the famous Chinese Hainese Chicken Rice at Anthony Bourdain's favorite Maxwell Road Hawker Center. She is energetic, personable, knowledgeable...a pure delight!! We truly loved our day with Han!!
