Reviews:

Here’s what previous walkers have to say about Red Clogs Down the Five-Foot-Way™

My parents and I have just returned from a fantastic tour of Chinatown (Red Clogs Down the Five-Foot-Way™) with our very knowledgeable tour guide, Helena. She deserves a huge thank you for her warm and caring attitude towards everyone in the tour group and for sharing her wealth of knowledge and personal insights which made the tour one of a kind. I will highly recommend (and return to) participating in your walking tours to all visitors of Singapore."

"I wanted to tell you that you are doing a great job. The historical facts we were given, and the information about culture we have not heard elsewhere - it gave us an insight into the culture in Chinatown. We have been on some of the walks in London, and would like you to know that we found the experience every bit as entertaining and educational."
