About Tour Guide Lena K.
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.

“Awesome walking tour in Singapore!”
Our amazing tour guide gave us an incredibly thorough tour of Singapore. Our tour lasted over four hours and we covered everything from historic sites to a Buddhist temple to the Chinese market. We learned a lot about Singapore and its history. Definitely suggest wearing comfortable shoes because we walked all over. It was great. Highly recommend.

As a Licensed Tourist Guide in Singapore with over 8 years of experience, I have had the privilege of sharing the stories, heritage, and culture that shape our island nation. Before guiding, I spent 15 years in the education sector, where I served as an Institution Archivist. In that role, I researched and preserved the history of the Institution and highlighted its deep connections to Singapore’s own journey. As a 5th-generation Singaporean, my family’s roots stretch back almost to the founding of modern Singapore. Today, I bring that heritage to life by sharing not only the history of my city-state but also my personal background as a member of the Peranakan community. Join me on a journey to uncover the vibrant stories, unique traditions, and hidden gems of Singapore — our Little Red Dot.

Richard K is a Tourist & Nature Guide licensed by Singapore Tourism Board. He is a nature lover and also a wildlife photographer. He grew up in a rural area known at a kampong at the North Eastern part of Singapore. His family practised living off the land and off the sea where he acquired the practical knowledge on the “way of nature”. He enjoys living a healthy and adventurous lifestyle and love meeting people and sharing personal experiences. When he became a senior citizen, he could not retire as he was still very active. So he took up the Tourist Guide Course, partly to know more about Singapore and partly a strong passion to share Singapore success story to visitors and locals.
