"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new sights, but in looking with new eyes" by Marcel Proust has increasingly shaped my travel approach in recent years. When I recall my most memorable overseas trip experiences, the highlight is often not a mainstream tourist attraction, but a serendipitous encounter off the beaten path. I hope to guide you to your serendipitous encounter. I love to travel ... my style is to spend more time with authentic local neighbourhoods visiting local markets, and shops, speaking to locals (language permitting), blending in (try!) and engaging in the daily activities of the locals. This also shaped my guiding approach; I seek to unearth local stories, unwritten practices, nuances of community dynamics, unique botanical features etc. (not regurgitate info from Google search results). I am equally comfortable discussing policy & governance comparisons, explaining municipal matters, sharing cultural nuances, tracing historical developments or pointing out minutiae like a tile design, a leaf's drip tip, an orchid's sepal. In my free time, I enjoy exploring, learning and sharing insights about this little island of Singapore. I attended UIUC in Illinois, USA for 3 years, worked for a German MNC for 5 years helped coordinate a 100 pax orphanage project in Indonesia for 12 years, so I am passionate with learning and sharing about different cultures. I am an adult educator at a polytechnic in the evening and enjoy guiding during my free time in the mornings. I have been a heritage guide since 2016 and have developed over 15 unique walking tours and clocked over 100 tours for schools, churches, seniors and other social groups. I am also a tourist guide licensed by STB (Singapore Tourism Board).

I am an experienced and licensed tourist guide with years of experience in the tour guiding industry. I love meeting people, guiding them to experience the life, culture and people of my country, Singapore. Having been 'born and bred' here, I have led tours to many business tourists around Singapore during their free time. They love it when I can give them a true-blue Singaporean's view of living in Singapore. Singapore is ever changing and growing, and yet our unique ethnic tapestry, values and traditions remain. I offer many unique, off-the-beaten-path tours and can also customize your very own personal walking tour. I hope to share my passion and knowledge of this great city with you in a fun and non-traditional way. My goal is to send you home with a sense of awe and wonder after visiting this gorgeous and sunny island, Singapore.

I am a passionate biophiliac since I was a child. I am a specialist nature guide and educator since 1994 to the present, based in Singapore. My place of work is in the amazing bio-diversed rainforest, mangrove and coastal forests of my tropical island home of Singapore. I look forward to showing our unique wildlife and ecosystems to you!
Lena K.
Singapore
My passion in guiding comes from my love in traveling over 30 cities and living in 7 cities in Europe and Asia, meeting different people. I am both trained by professional Singapore Tourism Board and heritage associations. I believe one the best ways to know something intimate about a place is to be with a local. I promise to give you a 5 -senses tour experience of taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing and share secrets and folktales that only a native knows. And I am indeed a mini Singapore as my family is of Malay- Chinese-Indian and European heritage so I live and breathe all 4 races.

(2 reviews)Thanks Guy for the good review It is my job to make everybody happy and enjoy during visiting Singapore. Hope you has a good times here.
“Excellent trip with Lim”
I had a great time with Lim. Even though I asked for a customised trip, he still preplanned and visited a lot of places more than what I expected. Great knowledge of the history and the culture of the city. I would highly recommend having Lim with you if you visit Singapore.
“Personalized food and culture-focused day tour”
Fatimah was AMAZING! She easily understood the objectives of our team and helped us plan a productive and fun day. She displayed great knowledge of the Singapore culture, showed us some great sights, helped us arrange dinner reservations and basically made our day seamless, low-stress and easy. Fatimah went above my expectations and helped us arrange a car for the day and it was stocked with cold water too. If we ever come back to Singapore and hire another tour guide, I wouldn't hesitate to look up Fatimah again. 5-Star rating easily.
