We had an awesome day with our tour guide Pam and driver Bernie.
Pam was professional and so personable. She made our day so much fun. Touring the colonial section and Chinatown, we learned so much about Singapore’s history. We ate lunch at the Hawker’s food court in Chinatown. Pam had us sample three dishes. So yummy.
We ended the day with a visit to see the waterfall at the airport. Spectacular! She also took photos of us at various locations and emailed them to us. I highly recommend booking this tour.

This 6-hour private family tour allowed us to have an overview of the city/state of Singapore. Our guide knows the city perfectly, the visit was intense. We had planned a 45-minute river cruise, so we discovered ancient Singapore. We had not planned the Marina Bay Sand SkyPark because of the waiting time, the guide found a better solution to access this bridge: go eat a pizza on the 57th floor and there we were able to enjoy a superb view . Overall it was great, only small downside, the guide spoke really a lot and quickly which made translation difficult for the 2 children.
Thank you Hello Singapore for this discovery.

Thank you so so much for the amazing tour. Gee Soo was very knowledgeable and amazing with our request. Our request to know about the culture, history, and even how locals lived were all accomplished within the 8-hour tour. Gee Soo was really amazing and accommodating. He took us from the north (sembawang and kranji war memorial park) down to the south (all the famous cities up to passing by mt. Faber). His tandem with Uncle Bernie was so efficient.

Words cannot fully describe my family's appreciation to this tour group and our tour guide for fulfilling our wishlist. Because of our shared heritage, Gee Soo felt more like a local friend taking us on a customized tour. He also allowed us to see his nice home with a scenic view over Malaysia and even sent us off towards Sentosa boardwalk via Vivocity. Truly an amazing person with a broad range of skills.

Through this tour, we saw a deeper glimpse of Singapore that ordinary touristy tours will not provide. If I could give a higher score than 5 stars, I'd give double or even triple this score. It was really that good! The heat was a little difficult but the company made it worth it.

Once again, thank you so much Hello! Tours. This will not be our only visit back to Singapore. Lastly, to Gee Soo, all the best to you, your family, and career. Let's have that tea when we meet again!

We had a wonderful finish to our two day Singapore visit with a 6 hour tour with Su Ling. With help designing our tour, to its execution, it was perfect. We explored some of the neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little India. and the Muslim Quarter, tried foods, explored outdoor markets and spent some time at the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay. Su Ling was informative and engaging, and took pictures along the way which are a great memory for us. All in all, I would recommend this tour whole heartily.
