“All I wanted to know about Singapore...”
Dear Kaerin, Thank you so much for the wonderful tour and for all the fascinating insights you shared about Singapore. From the Chinese clans in Chinatown to the vibrant Little India, and even aspects of urban planning and development – I truly appreciated it all. If my arrival hadn’t been delayed by a day, I would have booked you again right away for the following day. I’ll definitely make up for that the next time I’m in Singapore! Until then, thumbs up – 5/5
