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.

Reviews
“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.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline, may call me "Jac" in short, given a nickname Sister Haha. Why this nickname, will let you know when you "book" me. I loves to meet new friends, not only able to befriend friends throughout the world. At the same time, I loves to share what I know about Singapore, a beautiful small island to all of you so that you will get to know Singapore more. Handling different types of tour such as Educational school learning journey, MICE, Private, Disposal and group Tour, let me get to know all different levels of people, that after each tour I led, we became closer, more as a friend rather than Hi-Bye contact. So why wait, looking forward to meet you. Hear from you ya
