Phil was personable and knowledgable! The tour was very informative and a lot of fun. If you want to know about the lives of Rich Singaporeans, this is tour for you. Phil drive us all over...out and away from the usual tourist spots so you'll get a different perspective of the country.

Phil's perfectly curated "Crazy Rich Asians" tour helped us make the most of it and I can truly say it is now one of my best travel memories ever.
