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.

Hello and welcome. Selamat Datang! I’m Khairil, a licensed tourist guide born and raised in Singapore. I enjoy showing visitors the Singapore I know, from the famous sights to the stories, cultures, food and everyday life behind them. Singapore may be a small island, but there’s a surprising amount to discover. We can be talking about colonial history along the river one moment, exploring the traditions of an old neighbourhood the next, and probably discussing what we should eat somewhere in between! I especially enjoy the questions visitors ask. Why is Singapore like this? How did that neighbourhood develop? What do locals actually think about something? Those conversations often become some of the most enjoyable parts of a tour. So come curious, ask me anything, and let’s explore Singapore together. See you in Singapore!

Greetings from sunny Singapore! I was born in Singapore, and I grew up along with Singapore, witnessing the transformation of this little island I call home. As I grew, I have discovered that though this island in the sun is small, it is filled to the brim with nature, history, culture, unique foods and stories which even I, as a Singaporean, am amazed by, and I'm eager to share with others who come to visit. I love exploring the world, and my favourite holidays involve taking time to experience the country that I'm visiting, meeting the locals, trying the local food, and being immersed in the local culture, history, and beauty of the landscape. This is the wonder that I hope to share with my tourist-friends who come to visit Singapore. So, when you come to Singapore, I'd love to introduce you to our rich nature, multicultural heritage, people, history, and food. Despite being a tiny country, we have so much to offer beyond the usual tourist highlights like the Marina Bay Sands, Universal Studios Singapore, or the zoo. I would like to share with you the wonder of the world-renowned tourist sights, and also the extraordinary in the ordinary places of Singapore! To enable you to experience Singapore like a local even if for a few hours. Come and discover Singapore with me!
