Best use of your time; do at beginning of your trip - Rachel is an amazing tour guide! She is equal knowledgeable, engaging and energetic. She breathed life into my two jet lagged adolescents, which is a miracle in itself! We learned so much about the history of Singapore and its culture that we would’ve never known if we hadn’t completed this tour. It was absolutely the best use of our time during our short stopover in Singapore. She also helped us get quickly acclimated to the transportation system here and even made a reservation for dinner that night! Auntie Rach takes great photos of the group and is great with kids. Highly recommend booking with Rachel.

The Best Guide I’ve Had Anywhere - Where do I even start? Rachel was incredible from the very beginning. She reached out the day before to check in and make sure everything was set, which already made me feel taken care of. When I came down to meet her in the lobby, she greeted me with the warmest smile. From that moment on, it felt like I was exploring with an old friend. Rachel is full of knowledge about the country’s history and culture, and she shared it in a way that was engaging and fun. She also had so many little-known facts and took me to places I definitely would have missed on my own. I travel a lot and have hired quite a few guides, but Rachel has been the best by far. I learned so much and had a great time doing it. If you’re considering booking a tour with her, do it. You absolutely will not regret it. She is simply amazing.

Great tour, knowledgeable guide, excellent choice of sites to visit - We had such a wonderful tour with Rachel today. We really appreciated seeing the many highlights of Singapore, including the Temples of Little India and China Town, the eating hall, Singapore’s history and its urban development plan, the waterfront, and the “secret places” she showed us along the way. We also appreciate the information she provided on other sites to see beyond what we had time to cover today. Rachel is an excellent guide, and we would give her a great recommendation.
