Our guide Peng was fantastic! She covered off so much history in our time with her. Lunch included was an added bonus with good choices. Highly recommend this tour
What a treat to accompany Ping on this tour! Her professionalism and passion for Singapore’s history was evident right from the first moments of the tour. The buildings we viewed, the lunch and the commentary were all excellent. We highly recommend this tour; thanks Ping 😀
It was very enjoyable and informative. There were things that I thought I knew about Singapore that was debunked, like before I thought that Singapore is predominantly Malay, turns out it's predominantly Chinese. I learned a lot without it being boring. Ping was really knowledgeable. She's also nice and accommodating to questions.
Great tour, saw amazing things, guide had extensive local knowledge and shared rich and detailed stories. Time well spent, definitely!
Ping was a wonderful guide. Her knowledge of Singapore's cultural and social history was outstanding
