Hello and thank you for taking time to read my profile. I am an experienced and licensed tourist guide with years of experience in the tour guiding industry. I love meeting people, guiding them to experience the life, culture and people of my country, Singapore. Having been 'born and bred' here, I have led tours to many business tourists around Singapore during their free time. They love it when I can give them a true-blue Singaporean's view of living in Singapore. I was inspired to become a private guide with ToursByLocals and hope to offer my true-blue Singaporean's view to leisure tourists too. Singapore is ever changing and growing, and yet our unique ethnic tapestry, values and traditions remain. I offer many unique, off-the-beaten-path tours and can also customize your very own personal walking tour. I hope to share my passion and knowledge of this great city with you in a fun and non-traditional way. Please take a look at my itineraries and see if there is anything that piques your interest. This is your tour and my goal is to send you home with a sense of awe and wonder after visiting this gorgeous and sunny island, Singapore. Licensed Singapore Tourism Board Tourist Guide I can arrange for you a car/mini van/mini bus/bus and a driver. I am not a driver.

Overview of your Singapore tour

You will hear some of my childhood shenanigans as we have a leisurely stroll along the historic Singapore River. I used to fish here when I was a kid. Although I had been to the Merlion Park umpteen times, it is still my favorite part of Singapore because it shows the old and new of Singapore. To me, this is the best photography spot. At the Civic District, I will share the unique details and stories about the colonial buildings. This district was where my family used to hang out for weekend picnic when I was a kid. Art works are one of my favorite ways to discover a city's street scene. When we arrive at Chinatown , I will show you some incredible mural and make them come to life by sharing about the background to the work. Book this tour to gain lots of deep insight while having lots of fun.

Monica was so entertaining while giving us incredible information on our walking tour thru city center singapore as well as touring where regular Singaporeans live. Her thoughtfulness included going thru as many air conditioned places as possible to make sightseeing tolerable in the incredible humidity & treating us to the best local ice cream. She is plain fun to be with. You must tour with her!

We had Monica for two days of touring in March in Singapore. I emailed her a list of must see places in the city. She fulfilled all of them plus she added in extra stops that were really great that we did think about we rode the subway like locals, she hailed cabs for us when we wanted to take a break from walking or to get to a location faster. She shared what living in Singapore was like for her and her family and we shared things about the U.S. You will have a great tour and fun time with Monica.

This was an excellent way to get oriented to and see much of Singapore in just a few hours. Monica is knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. She made a point to hit everything that we wanted to see, and knew how to do it in such as way that we didn't bake in the sun. In particular, she engaged with my children and held their attention. Highly recommend for a shore excursion or as a way to jumpstart your time Singapore.

Monica is a great tour guide with a wonderful sense of humor. We had an intensive four hour tour of the Singapore highlights. We visited the gardens by the sea, the art and science museum along with colonial Singapore. We even had time for a meal in the Hawking market. Monica was a lot of fun. She knows her way around town. She tried to keep us air-conditioned as much as possible because it was hot. Don't hesitate to book a tour with her, we will when we get back to Singapore.
