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

I will share with you why many Singaporeans live in flats and how we cope with limited spaces. Have fun visiting a 'town centre' I will share entertaining anecdotes and trivia with you such as the lifestyle of a typical Singaporean 3 -tier generation family living under the same roof. My grandparents used to live with my family during my teenage years. You will get a bit of a thrill when I show to some you some of my hidden gems of this neighborhood. You will 'go native' further by visiting a 'hawker centre' (food centre) and neighborhood shops. I will share with you about the importance of ingredients and dishes to the local people. Some of the shopkeepers are very friendly and I had been patronizing their shops for many years. I will teach you some local dialect. You may even get a chance to chat with the locals using Singapore's local language. You will love this tour because it is a great way to get more insights of what everyday life is like for the locals while having lots of fun.
