Boo and our driver Bernie did a 5 star job with our tour and went way above to make our experience great. Our main contact at PE dropped the ball and scheduled a five mile walk when we asked for limited walking day 2 was great but day 1 we couldn't do. Boo worked with his company and Bernie and saved the day and did the tour wr needed. The great pictures were a real plus. Thanks again Boo and Bernie at Hello Singapore

Our experience with Richard was amazing. He is a very knowledgeable and educated tour guide answering every question we asked. It was extremely humid so I suggest taking plenty of water and a powered portable fan. Comfortable shoes is a must because of all of the walking. We had a wonderful time and highly recommended this excursion. Thank you Richard☺️

Richard was punctual and well prepared for the tour. He made sure we got a good mix of exposure to food, architecture, and local culture.
Richard was courteous, engaged, and answered all of our questions.
Tea tasting was a lot of fun. I also particularly enjoyed all the sustainability facts he was sharing.
After the tour, he got a detailed overview of everything that we saw and some recommendations for a good meal and drink.
Highly recommend Richard for private tours.

What a wonderful day we spent with Pam. Not only is she knowledgeable about the history and culture of Singapore, she is a pleasure to be with and learn from. The river cruise was great and gave a full sense of the changes Singapore has gone through and the growth and change that has been experienced. Loved the tea tasting. A lovely way to end a great tour. Pam was very conscious of the pace that worked best and any requests we had. She was a joy to be with! Highly recommend this tour!

Good morning,
Some days ago we have made some excursions in Singapore with the Company Hello Singapore, specifically we had Gee Soo as our guide. We are very happy to having him as our tour guide because he always had a true smile on his faces, he is a very nice person with a great heart and very positive. So, we had 3 excursions for 3 days with Gee Soo.
One curious thing is that during the trip Gee Soo took us some photos in his phone and at the afternoon of the same day he emails you sending them, so you do not need to worry to take photos during the excursions.
We really liked him very much because he explained all the history of Singapore, also explained very interesting things from this place. We could see that he loves his job as a tour guide and it is amazing. The trips that we most liked were the food tour because is a combination of food and history and the cruise river because you could see from the river Singapore.
We are really happy to have him as our guide, we spent a wonderful time knowing Singapore with Gee Soo. We recommend him 100%, he is very flexible and a great person.
Thank you very much Gee Soo for being with us. You are a great guide! Continue working from your heart!

Our guide Richard was amazing. So kind knowledgeable and tireless in showing us Singapore telling us about its history and culture and making sure we had the best time and fantastic experience. He was extremely well versed in the city’s latest past and present events and did not rest until we did everything we wanted, answered all our questions and felt like locals. He shared his personal experiences and family history which was so enriching as well. Lastly, Richard spent more than 8 hrs w us! He’s the best Singapore guide and a tour w him is not 5 but 10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
