I brought Dan and his family on a 2-day private tour of Singapore this weekend. From Helsinki, the Finnish family was in Singapore for a short visit after a long holiday in Australia before returning home. Glad everyone enjoyed the tour including a visit to my apartment to get a sense of how locals live.

This was my second run of the 3hr workshop, "Zoo Declassified", that I conducted for 17 Singapore tourist guides earlier this month.

This workshop teaches guides how the Singapore Zoo exhibits its animals through the "open zoo" concept, about animal behaviour enrichment techniques, exhibit design, animal diet, breeding and more. I have been a Singapore Zoo Docent for 25 years (and counting) and am happy to share zoo insights with fellow guides so that they can lead better tours for their clients.

With Bradley and his family from London, after a 4hr customized private tour of Singapore recently. We included tourist attractions as well as a visit to a local housing town to check out how most Singaporeans typically live. We took the ever-efficient local subway (MRT) and public bus to get around.

Glad everyone had a great time! The tours I conduct usually come with private chartered transport but you may opt for public transport as an alternative. If you are looking for a similar great tour experience like what Bradley had, then drop me an enquiry at [email protected]

With Walter and his son from Texas, and my excellent tour driver and friend, Yasser, after a 6hr Singapore city tour recently. The father and son duo was here for a vacation and were excited to check out Singapore. After checking what they have seen and experienced since arriving in Singapore two days prior to our tour, I customized an itinerary that brought them to off the beaten path places and interesting neighborhoods in the downtown area. Glad to see their grin and appreciation after the tour. 😊

One of my curated training courses for Singapore-licensed tourist guides, "Sustainable Tourism - Preparing for the Future of Tourism", was featured as an example of continuing training opportunities for tourist guides in Singapore. The occasion was a networking event hosted by the Tourism Management Institute of Singapore, targeting newly licensed tourist guides and key stakeholders in the Singapore hospitality and tourism industry.

Didnt know my course was featured! 🤭 Thank you for the publicity, TMIS! Big thank you to a fellow veteran tourist guide who shared with me these photos she took at the event.

I will be teaching a new class for Singapore-licensed tourist guides at the Singapore Tourist Guides Society next weekend. This class draws from my 25 years of accumulated knowledge as a Singapore Zoo Docent. The Singapore Zoo is an open concept zoo and among the best zoos in the world. Looking forward to this class!

Guided Sue, Carol, Mitch and Archie over two tours in Singapore recently. These nice folks are some of my best tour guests, what with their great sense of humour and easy-going demeanour. It makes touring all the more fun for everyone.

We didnt just got off on a right note but a HILARIOUS one too! We were chatting at the hotel lobby for a good 10 minutes while waiting for my guests and them waiting for their guide without knowing we were waiting for each other! They told me they had not seen other fellow Aussies since arriving 3--4 days ago and were excited to hear my guests were Aussies and they were eager to see them. After texting each other and still not seeing "each other", we proceeded to the 2nd floor hotel lobby to check and that was when Sue asked me if I happened to be Edwin....to rapturous laughter!

If you are looking at having a great Singapore tour experience, and maybe a hilarious one to boot, like Sue and company did, then drop me an enquiry at [email protected]

All smiles for Marty and Mary from the US who were in Singapore recently on a vacation and they had engaged me for street food tour of Singapore. Not their first visit, they had decided to do something different this time round - to learn more about Singapore through her signature street food. 😋
