AustraliaWalter was very knowledgeable about the history of the little India area. He was very engaging with the students and had a great sense of humour. Food tastings which were organised were appreciated by all. Our group may have been a bit large (18) for just 1 guide but Walter did a great job keeping all together and informed. Scott

Susan Lemkin
United StatesI had the most wonderful tour experience with Walter today. It's my first visit to Singapore and I had only two days so wanted to see as much as I could. I had some definite must sees...hawker food court and wet markets...and was open for anything else Walter suggested. We walked the Chinese,, Indian and Malay neighborhoods and saw many other sights. We talked about many things about Singapore and through Walter,s insight I have a much better idea of what Singapore is all about and now the people live.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Susan.. You are easy and friendly and that make my job easy. I enjoy out walk today. I am glad you enjoyed it too. Wishing you all the best. Thank you

Cypress, TX, United StatesI had one day to see Singapore. I was able to schedule on short notice a tour by Walter Tan. I spent the morning and early afternoon with one tour guide and finished the day with Walter. Walter was a champ! He knows the Singapore history well. We finished the day with more sightseeing, enjoyed a good meal, and took the river cruise to see the city lights. I highly recommend Walter as your guide and would request him again. Thank you Walter for the great tour and conversation!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much Mark. I am glad I did not disappoint. Remember you mentioned Wan Ling set a high standard and it will be hard for me to follow. I enjoyed the tour too and I hope to see you again in Singapore. All the best to you.

Arlene Gilbert
United StatesWalter MADE our visit to Singapore. We came away loving the city-state because of his wonderful tour. His English is as excellent as his disposition. He was very flexible and changed the tour as we went along and he learned more of our interests. An example was his bringing us to the Urban Redevelopment Authority which houses incredible exhibits of Singapore's past, present, and future. We think a MUST for anyone's visit. Our tour was the "Made to Order" and we left it to him...a great decision!!

David Pauldine
United StatesWalter is energetic, lively and passionate about his city. As newcomers to Singapore, we knew very little. Walter filled the gap nicely while taking us around and showing us the key sites. More importantly than just seeing the sites, Walter told us the story, gave us the background and provided a narrative that brought meaning to what we were seeing.

Simone Calderon
BrazilOverall, a nice tour, but there wasn't enough time to see everything that was previously scheduled with the guide. When it was almost 5 p.m., we were informed that the tour should be ended by that time, otherwise, the driver of the van would put an extra charge. We ended up not visiting the Botanical Gardens (just the Orchid Garden), which was kinda disappointing. If it wasn't for that, we would put 5 stars, because the rest of the tour was excellent.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank-you for taking the time to leave your feedback, I am glad you enjoyed the tour! I believe you misunderstood the itinerary as the Orchid Garden is the Botanical garden and if you require more time there than we planned, we would need to hire the driver for more time which in turn would cost more. I do hope you understand and thanks again.

Bill Harley
United KingdomDespite giving details of the purpose of the visit to Singapore our guide failed to address the information requested. Eg the Jalan Besar Stadium was closed at the time of our visit and the Researcher at Changi Museum was not available at the time of our visit and has not been in contact since to seek further information, despite contact details being given to our guide.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank-you for your feedback.There was a misunderstanding which resulted in the dissatisfaction of the tour and I do apologize. It is correct that the stadium was closed and for this I am sorry and I would like to compensate you for this. As the Researcher visit was not in the tour, I did not arrange for any meeting. I was unaware you wanted this info until the day of the tour. The researcher was contacted for you after and he was supposed to get in touch with you, I'm sorry if he hasn't contacted you yet
TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: The customer has been provided a partial refund due to the fact that the Stadium was closed unexpectedly. The guide has acknowledged his fault and has been coached to prevent issues such as this one from happening again in the future.

While he was giving us the start of an excellent tour of "Little India" I became quite ill with what turned out to be a bacterial infection. Walter loaded me as well as my wife, who uses a wheelchair, into his van and took me to an excellent private hospital. Walter stayed with us well past the tour time and got us to our ship in time for our cruise. I highly recommend Walter!

The car driver, Mr Fung was very polite and took a keen interest in the history also. I could not recommend Walter more highly. Truely Thank you.
