What Our Travelers Say

I joined the Little India walking tour after exploring alone the day before, and the difference was huge. Leonard knowledge and stories brought the area alive. With a group size of about 15, it felt personal yet lively. It’s free to join but tipping is expected, and easily worth it. I only wish I had time to join all three walking tours offered. Definitely worth it.

Little India Free Walking Tour

We joined three tours, the Chinatown walking tour, Kampong Glam walking tour, and Little India walking tour. Each revealed different sides of Singapore’s history and culture. 


Angel was enthusiastic and engaging, mixing humor with facts that stuck with us. These tours enriched our 7-day stay, especially in food and culture. A wonderful way to experience Singapore.
