About Tour Guide Khairil A.
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!

“Khai made me fall in love with Singapore”
I had an incredible day with Khai touring Singapore for my first visit. Because he is native to this city, he really knows and loves his city. That matters to me. We saw each section of Singapore and his explanations were very insightful into timelines and evolution. My interest is always in culture and architecture, and he made sure I got a sense of both in each part of the city which I was ethnically defined when established. We also ate and drank refreshing drinks particular to Singapore, a very welcomed treat on a humid day. If you are looking for a one day, 6 to 8 hour tour of this fantastic city built around your particular interests, Khai is the guide for you!

Thank you so much, Rosemary! It was an absolute pleasure spending these two days with you and Anne. I really enjoyed putting together the tours around the places you wanted to discover, especially our little Joo Chiat and Kopi Khoo adventure! I'm so glad we managed to make everything work at such short notice. Next time you're both in Singapore, you know where to find me. There is still plenty more to explore! Safe travels and take care, Khai

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!

Hello! I’m a proud Singaporean, born and raised in Singapore, with over 10 years of experience working in the Civic District area. My journey in tourism has been both exciting and fulfilling—I’ve spent the past decade as a tour leader, and for the last year, I’ve been a licensed Singapore tour guide. I am passionate about sharing the rich history, culture, and stories of Singapore with travelers from around the world. I specialize in creating memorable and enjoyable experiences, especially for guests who want to explore Singapore’s four most popular and iconic districts. In the Civic District, I guide visitors through landmarks such as the Merlion Park, Singapore River, the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, historic early warehouses, the old and new Supreme Courts, Fullerton Hotel, and the breathtaking Marina Bay Sands Sky Park. In Chinatown, I bring guests through cultural and historical highlights including the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Sri Mariamman Temple, Chinatown Heritage areas, Pagoda Street, early opium houses, traditional immigrant homes, and vibrant street murals. In Little India, I share stories of early Indian settlers while exploring Tekka Market and Hawker Centre, the Indian Heritage Centre with its unique glass architecture, intricate statues of Hindu deities, and the beauty of traditional Indian saris. At Kampong Glam, the heart of Singapore’s Muslim heritage, I introduce visitors to the majestic Sultan Mosque, the lively Haji Lane, unique capsule hotels, traditional perfume shops, and historic Sultan Gate. As a dedicated and enthusiastic guide, I take pride in delivering fabulous tours that leave my guests with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation of Singapore. 大家好！我是一名土生土长的新加坡人，在新加坡出生与成长，并在市政区工作超过10年。我的旅游行业经验丰富，过去10年担任领队，过去一年则成为一名持牌新加坡导游。 我热爱与来自世界各地的旅客分享新加坡的历史、文化与故事，致力于为游客打造难忘且精彩的旅游体验。尤其是带领游客深入了解新加坡最受欢迎的四大热门景点。
