A selection of past experiences we've delivered
Overseas University for their MBA Programme
We customised a holistic Singapore educational tour focussing on two main areas - Singapore's development, and city highlights with street food tastings for over 120 MBA students. Honing in on our professional expertise in public education within city planning and development, the tour focussed on the challenges and milestones in Singapore's urban transformation journey. In addition to showing students around Little India, Kampong Glam and Chinatown Singapore, we included street food tastings so they get to eat like a local in a popular hawker centre.
Overseas University for their MBA Programme
The client wanted a tour that combines hidden gems with architectural highlights within the city. We designed a tour that only covered key areas such as Civic District and Marina Bay but also went off the tourist trail to a hyperlocal neighbourhood so the students got to visit a public housing estate and understand the local life.
Local Arts Institution
The arts institution hosted ASEAN student delegates in a festival led by local students and local teaching faculty. The brief was to customise an art-focussed tour experience. We designed a trail that enabled students to explore the history and lesser known stories of key arts venues including National Gallery Singapore, Art House and select art sites. We also topped off the experience with tour of the city as most delegates were new to Singapore, and commented that they had a wonderful and enriching experience immersing in Singapore's arts and culture.
Local Primary School
For a local primary school, we curated a comprehensive tour of of Tiong Bahru that highlighted its history and lesser known stories. The educators also wanted to pair the experience with Chinatown that culminated with a food tasting and tea appreciation session.
Local Secondary School
Educators were treated to a morning of curious exploration in the charming neighbourhood of Little India. We adapted the Tea & Tiffin: Little India Walking Tours for the educators who were mostly from Singapore so they get to discover lesser known stories of the historic streets and traditions that immigrants introduced to Singapore.

Testimonials from Some of Our Clients
We engaged Rachel and her team for the tours of Singapore City Gallery and City Highlights and were extremely pleased with her team's delivery! Our MBA students learnt a lot about Singapore's development at Singapore City Gallery as the guides highlighted innovative solutions that Singapore undertakes to tackle land scarcity through a series of exhibits, including the large architectural model of Singapore's central area. We also visited must-see places and of course Marina Bay where we learnt about its urban transformation over the years. Rachel and her team were outstanding and knowledgeable, I would request them again!
- WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management
We had an amazing afternoon spending time learning the history of Tiong Bahru followed by a cultural immersion tour in Chinatown. In addition, the street food tasting was an excellent experience. Thank you Culture Curious!
- Ministry of Education
Little India Walking Tour was an eye-opening experience even for our group comprising mainly locals. Rachel shared passionately about the lesser known stories of the communities living and working in the area, allowing us to better appreciate the diverse cultures in Singapore. We enjoyed the tasting and a special DIY popiah session, a wonderful end to our walking tour in Little India.

Highly Interesting and Relevant to Our Interests In Understanding Culture, Visual Arts and Architecture
penny, Australia
Curious about the Singaporean Art scene, we were looking to increase our knowledge and also seek hints and tips of how to spend our remaking days here. Rachel was most informative and clear in her descriptions of historical facts, with relevant visuals to support each topic. We were enamoured by the content she spoke of and she was happy to answer the MANY questions we had that deviated from her intial plan. This was a most enjoyable half day tour and we have loads of links to further sites to visit. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a clear grounding in Singaporean history, culture, art and architecture, it was totally enjoyable.
If the Best is Not Enough, Rachel Sure is!
- Christian, Austria
I hardly write a review, but when I do, then it's because the experience/service delivered was outstanding. Rachel is not just a tour guide who shows you around to places. She is a very kind and well educated person which attributes tremendously to the experience. I contacted her with my wishes and the itinerary couldn't have matched better than what I'd expected. She also has a very calm personality which helps to fully immerse in the scenery where she shows you around and the information she provides with it. Never I got the feeling it's just a run-of-the-mill and rushing to the next place. At different points throughout the tour I enjoyed to discuss with her several topics like education system in Singapore or in general social topics but also environmental ones. And for each topic she also provided knowledgeable information and integrated it seamlessly into the tour (like public subsidised housing). Rachel is really a gem and I can recommend her tour to anyone in a heartbeat.
A well-crafted tour with a refreshing perspective of Historical Singapore
- Archblood, Singapore
Tour guide Rachel has shown much zest in helping us to understand more about historical Singapore. Her energetic delivery of the past behind each place that we went — whether it’s Thian Hock Keng Temple, the Fullerton Building, or National Gallery Singapore — filled us up with little known facts that you may not find in a generalised presentation of the city-state. And she was very confident to answer our questions in respect to these things. Highly recommended if you want a refreshed perspective of familiar and lesser-known places.
