Hello from Singapore! I am Michelle, and I am absolutely thrilled just thinking about showing you, and sharing with you, everything about the country that I was born in and grew up in. This is the country that I love and fills me with pride. I am not just a tour guide. I am a storyteller and a creator of experiences. As I take you to visit the sights and places in Singapore, I will bring you on a magical journey to experience and immerse into the Singapore Story. You will be brought into the heart of the fascinating history and heritage of this harmoniously diverse and multi-cultural country. As you explore the city with me, you will see life in Singapore in a new light - from inspiring heritage monuments to amazing modern architectural wonders; from fabulous gardens and unforgettable cultural experiences to unbelievable ethnic culinary delights. I have an unwavering passion for all things uniquely Singaporean and I would love to share them with you. I aspire to inspire you to explore and be curious, to discover and be immersed into the Singaporean way of life, and then leave wanting to come back for more. I am excited to meet you and take you on your journey to discover Singapore. See you soon!

Overview of your Singapore tour

You will be met by your private tour guide and travel by ride-booking car to the Singapore River to begin your journey to the days of princes and colonial governors, the days of war and turmoil, and finally, development and progress . At each historic precinct, walk through time as you explore the sites where history was made and listen to the inspiring stories of the past - of how Singapore got her name, how a British governor changed the fate of Singapore, of the dark days of war and the compelling events that followed. Be awe-inspired by the beautifully preserved and conserved historical monuments and buildings. Let the more-than-century-old walls whisper their stories as you marvel at the architecture and imagine the events that took place within these walls. The tour will end at the Raffles Hotel, where the famous Singapore Sling was created in 1915. If you would like, relax at the Long Bar and try the world-famous cocktail as a fitting end to the day.
