We are the top rated Tour Operator in Singapore. We specialize in Free Walking Tours, but do specially curated themed tours and private tours as well. Each of our Free Walking Tours will bring you through an area that we love. Walking the streets gives you the best sense of a city. We want to show you the sights, and also places off the tourist path. Each of the tours seeks to tell you a different part of the Singapore story. Your local guides will also suggest their own secret places (especially hawker stores) to go in Singapore. Come for one tour, or come for all of them!

Tour description

The "Overview" tour. Join us for this 3 hour Free Tour along the Singapore River to the Marina Bay area. We will bring you on a journey through time. You’ll get an overview of Singapore’s 200-year history, during which it was transformed from a fishing village to a vital trading port under the British East India Company; to a Japanese-occupied city; to the modern Singapore that you see today. We hope to show you the evolution of Singapore... from the darkest hours to our brightest moments. We will show you some gorgeous old buildings that have been given a new lease of life. Through them, we hope to be able to give you a glimpse of the Singapore-to-come as well.

Wow what a pleasant surprise and it was an amazing experience! My family and I were absolutely impressed with our tour with Wei. We have done many Free Walking Tours in many different countries and our tour with Wei has to be one of the very best. Wei has a great personality, professional, super knowledgeable, extremely informative and passionate with sharing the history of his country with us. He made the tour really fun. The choice of route was great. Great spots to pause to provide info, photo opportunities and restroom access to balance a 3.5 hour walking tour. We learned so much about the history, culture plus some current events of Singapore from our tour. Wei also gave us good tips and suggestions on where to go and what to do during our stay in Singapore based on our interests and time frame. Took his time to answer all our questions. We are so glad to joined this tour and will highly recommend anyone who is visiting Singapore to join this tour and hope you are lucky enough to have Wei as our guide. Definitely highly of our visit in Singapore! Thank you Wei for giving us such amazing tour!

Eunice was our tour guide for the Overview of Singapore tour. We both enjoyed Eugene’s high level of energy and depth of knowledge of Singaporean history and culture. As we have travelled extensively, we fully appreciate having a guide who is so well-versed in the history of their country. Eunice showed us the highlights of Singapore, while giving us much-appreciated breaks from the heat in air-conditioned venues. She actually remembered everyone’s names and connected with everybody. She also gave us a follow up email of where to go with links. We would highly recommend Eunice as guide for Singapore for Guru walks. Caroline and Henry.
