As a licensed Singapore Tourist Guide with a background in management and education, I enjoy bringing Singapore’s history and culture to life through stories, people, and places.
On my walking tour of Kampong Glam and Waterloo Street, we explore the rich heritage of these fascinating neighbourhoods. Discover Kampong Glam’s Malay and Muslim roots, its colourful streets and architecture, and how the area has changed over time. At Waterloo Street, we explore the unique mix of faiths, cultures, and communities that have shaped the area.
I go beyond the usual landmarks to share interesting stories and insights that help connect Singapore’s past with the vibrant city you see today.

Come walk with me and experience a different side of Singapore through its heritage, people, and stories.
