Wonderful evening

Voyager577955, 02-11-2019

This was the day-night tour booked through Hello Singapore Tours. We had booked a tour prior in Hong Kong last year through Hello Hong Kong owned by the same parent company. We were happy with that tour and thought we’d try a tour in Singapore. We were not disappointed. Su Ling, our guide, met us at our hotel and we had 5 wonderful hours learning about the history of Singapore, the different cultures and food varieties. The river cruise was a bonus showing us a vibrant part of Singapore that we likely would not have seen on our own. We are heading back to do the river walk on our own. The chicken/rice dinner followed by a traditional tea ceremony was a perfect end to a great evening. We have used Hello Hong Kong and Hello Singapore and have been happy each time. We have one more tour with Hello Singapore prior to heading home. My wife and I highly recommend The Hello Tour company.

A great tour highlighting the contrast of old and new Singapore.

Fantastic tour with a wonderful guide, Gee Soo, who was full of interesting facts and titbits about the places he took us.
We visited a great range of places from jail cells to rooftop gardens with amazing views and hidden away treasures like the old Chinese Tea house.

A must do if you want to know about Singapore

Gee Soo, you are a credit to Hello Singapore Tours.
Your enthusiasm and knowledge made for an awesome experience and we thank you.
Right from the moment we met you until the time we said goodbye, we had a great time.
The humidity was tough but that wasn't your fault.
I highly recommend a Gee Soo tour to anyone who wants to know about Singapore.

Highlight of our Time in Singapore

PennynGreg, 27-02-2020

We had a fabulous time with Hello Singapore cultural tour. Our guide, Gee Soo, was so knowledgeable and very entertaining, too. He took us to many locations that we would never have seen without him, such as The National Gallery, where we had a fabulous view of the marina, and the Old Parliament House where we visited the old chamber and prison cells. The tour was nicely varied, too. After our history tour, we took a boat ride down the Singapore River, discussing the development of the city along the way. We also rode a local bus, learned about the housing of Singaporeans and and how the Marina Bay Area was developed over the years. We topped off the evening with dinner at Maxwell Hawker Center and a tea ceremony at a historic tea house. Best of all was the company of vivacious and energetic Gee Soo, who made the tour come alive. I highly recommend this tour of Singapore!

Very Personal and Informative

Gene! Thabk you very much for having me. The places we visited were very breathtaking and spectacular. Having you there to provide backgrounds gave me a deeper appreciation and understanding of Singapore. It's my first time in Singapore but I feel amazingly safe and comfortable here. Thanks again! I'll mention your tour to my friends and coworkers back home. Cheers!

The Best Personalized Intro to Singapore Ever!f

worldchick24, 22-12-2022

We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Singapore than the very special two days we spent with our guide Gee Soo of Hello Singapore tours! Gee Soo will be a friend for life, and Singapore will always be synonymous with Gee Soo. We biked, walked, took busses and trains around this marvelous city under his guidance and in his good company. We felt culturally immersed traveling with a local and learned so much through Gee Soo’s insights about Singapore history,culture, architecture, politics and urban planning. As a Travel Advisor, I will be recommending Project Expedition Hello Singapore Tours and requesting Gee Soo as a guide in the future. Thank you for making our visit to Singapore a most memorable one, full of heart! We are changed forever. Lisa and Jay Spiller

Let all your senses savor Singapore, especially your sense of Taste.,

It's not just his vast knowledge of Singapore, nor his easy manner, nor his flexibility to modify a tour based on his client's wishes, it is his love of food that sets Richard apart.
For me, the best way to understand a new city is through it's food and Singapore and Richard will not disappoint.

Rainy but fun

CynthiaC1611, 04-02-2023

Our tour guide, Daryl, was very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. I should add helpful. He used his on app to call for a ride back to the hotel. Another thing I must add is that the hotel gave me terrible directions to the meeting point, and instead of leaving me, he waited 10 minutes after the meeting time. The places we visited were interested, and even though it rained during the river cruise, it was still enjoyable. My favorite was the tea ceremony.
