What Our Guests Say
Posted on A W What a fascinating private 4 hour tour we had with Swee Lin who shared intriguing historical facts, while we explored so much of Singapore's vibrant multiculturalism. We opted for Grab transport to make the most of our time, so worth it. On our next visit to Singapore we'll definitely book another tour with Rachel and Swee Lin. Thanks for a great tour!Posted on Ellen R We had 4 excellent days of touring with Culture Curious Singapore Tours … starting with an outstanding architectural tour which doubled as a great introduction to Singapore followed by a wonderful food tour, a cultural neighborhood tour, and finally a tour centered on WW II history in Singapore. We have had *many* tours around the world and I can say with confidence that these were some of the best. Not only are Rachel, Kelvin and Chris highly knowledgeable, they went above and beyond taking care of us with tips, links, taxi help, and much much more. We felt completely welcomed and comfortable with all of them, so not only did we learn what we came for, but we chatted about anything else that came up … from how real Singaporeans afford to live, to wedding customs, to durian tasting, to public transportation and so much more!!! Consummate professionals, Rachel and co personified gracious hospitality and joy in sharing their city and country with us. We would highly recommend Culture Curious to anyone.Posted on cody engle As a very seasoned world traveler, I have interacted with local guides across the world. That said, Culture Curious is among the best guiding experiences I have ever had! Owner, Rachel Chen and her team provide me and my family a world class experience over 3 days of guiding.Knowledgable both of history and current conditions, all questions (I ask a lot) were answered with wisdom and insight. Our family group ranged from 22years to 85. All physical and culinary needs, while diverse, were handled with grace. I sought proposals from three local guiding companies. Culture Curious promptly provided a comprehensive proposal at very reasonable pricing. As ann added bonus, Rachel quickly responded to my pre-arrival emails seeking restaurant, taxi and other advice. If you need guiding services in Singapore, Culture Curious is your best choice.Posted on Elizabeth Brown (Liz) Wonderful tour - do not hesitate to book this. We booked a four hour option. It was a great day, even with the 90 degrees F heat. My mom, who is 86, was on the tour with me. Working with Swee Lin, we modified the initial itinerary to add some breaks and some indooor walking. Swee Lin’s cultural and historical knowledge is unparalleled. We learned a lot, and ended the tour with an even greater appreciation of this unique country and its blend of cultures. We only wish she was available for another tour tomorrow!Posted on Gary Winch An amazing private tour with Rachel who shared very interesting parts of the city with us as well as history and cultural details. She followed up with links for some of the places we visited and suggestions for us during our day of touring Singapore tomorrow. I would definitely sign up for this private tour in the future and would request Rachel if I could.Posted on 이정빈 이번 싱가포르 답사에서 가장 인상 깊었던 프로그램 중 하나였습니다. Singapore City Gallery와 Pinnacle @ Duxton을 함께 방문하며 싱가포르의 도시계획과 공공주택을 깊이 있게 이해할 수 있었습니다. 단순한 관광 투어가 아니라 도시의 발전 과정, 주거, 공동체, 삶의 질까지 함께 생각해볼 수 있는 매우 의미 있는 시간이었습니다. 가이드는 모든 질문에 성실하고 구체적으로 답변해주었고, 설명도 매우 체계적이고 이해하기 쉬웠습니다. 한국어 통역사분도 매우 전문적이고 자연스럽게 통역해주셔서 전체 내용을 편하게 따라갈 수 있었습니다. 준비 과정부터 현장 진행까지 모두 친절하고 세심해서 저희 일행 모두가 매우 만족했습니다. 도시계획, 공공주택, placemaking, 커뮤니티 개발에 관심 있는 분들께 정말 추천하고 싶습니다. This was one of the most memorable parts of our visit to Singapore. Through visits to Singapore City Gallery and Pinnacle @ Duxton, we were able to gain a much deeper understanding of Singapore’s urban planning and public housing system. It was far more than a typical sightseeing tour — it was a meaningful learning experience about the city’s development, housing, community, and liveability. The guide answered every question sincerely and in great detail, and the explanations were clear, thoughtful, and well structured. The Korean interpreter was also highly professional and made the tour much easier and more comfortable to follow. From the booking process to the tour itself, everything was handled with kindness and care. Our whole group was very satisfied, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in urban planning, public housing, placemaking, and community development.Posted on betty ann robustelli Amazing Tour with Kelvin !! He’s a wealth of knowledge about Singapore History, culture, food, and infrastructure. He’s very funny and charming on top of everything.!Posted on Molly Harwood Had an amazing experience on our tour with Kelvin! Multiple markets, incredible bites, and thorough cultural and historical lessons along the way! Kelvin was fun balanced with exceptional knowledge of the country, the region, the cultures, and the food! Each stall has its own history, which Kelvin always made a point to ensure we understood. We met the people behind the food and watched as Kelvin engaged with a community he’s clearly built over years of being wonderful at his work! Deeply recommend!
