We would like to thank everyone who has written in. Our guides really appreciate your encouraging comments and it sure means a lot to them to know that they've been doing something worthwhile.
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the "Sultans of Spice" Walk today! It was such a nice mix of history, humor and local customs. Savita was a delight to have as a tour guide, and I plan on participating on other walks since this one was so enjoyable.
Keep up the great work, and I will be sure to spread the word!
Lydia HackettI recently took part in one of your organised walks called "Sultans of Spice". I am a frequent visitor to Singapore and go around S'pore independantly but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this organised walk. Savita was very informative and answered all our questions tirelessly. She has a very bubbly personality. I will gladly recommend your tours to future visitors.
Agnes RankinHi everyone I just returned from my trip to Singapore and I thought I should send you a quick email to thank you for your surprising and interesting tours.
I truly enjoyed my time with you guys, you were all very efficient, funny, and so passionate about your tours.
I will recommend you to any of my guests travelling to Singapore .

It was one of the most interesting and informative tours that our group have ever undertaken. Mr Chan was both extremely knowledgeable on his subject matter and a most entertaining presenter of the information.
So impressed by the tour I and one other of our group undertook the Forbidden Ground tour, which as luck would have it Mr Chan once again graced us with his wit and knowledge.
I have been so impressed that I have been advising all my friends and colleagues that the Singapore Walks are time more than well spent and your Mr Chan is a rare find.
On all future visits to Singapore I will be taking more walking tours.
Yours sincerely

I would like to take the time to recommend Razeen's tremendous energy and efforts in entertaining us during our stay in Singapore .
Mr Chan took us out on the Battlefield Tour and we could not get enough so we booked onto the Forbidden Ground tour as well.
He did a fantastic job and I have happily recounted several of his stories to my colleagues both in Singapore and here in Perth.
Please pass on our appreciation for a job well done!
Yours sincerely

I would like to thank our guide Mr. Chan for his fantastic insight into the Battlefield tour that I attended on 8/2/06. His knowledge and enthusiasm was a credit to the tour experience. I would not hesitate to recomend the Singapore Walks tour to my friends.
Once again thank you.

I have recently returned to Minnesota , U.S.A. after a wonderful first time visit to Singapore . On January 23 and 24 I (along with two sisters and my son and daughter-in-law) was lucky enough to experience "The Time of the Empire" and “Red Clogs Down the Five Foot Way" walking tours. I can't imagine a better way to get to know and understand your beautiful country. The knowledge and enthusiasm of our guides was outstanding. How Helena was able to weave stories of her family into the history of Chinatown was particularly fascinating. Kudos and thanks to both of our guides.
We will be sure to attend more walks during future visits to Singapore . Maybe we'll even take these walks again.
Sincerely,
Suzanne KarnitzHi! On our recent visit to Singapore we found your brochure on walks (we have never seen this brochure before) and took the Sultans of Spice walk with Savita.(Thursday 10/11/2005). We had a great time - she was a wonderful guide. On our next visits we plan to take more of your walks, and we have told our friends to do like wise. Thanks once again for a great tour.

Hi! I was visiting Singapore last week and went on your tour around Little India - which was great fun and very enlightening. Really enjoyed the walks and the rest of your beautiful city.

Astonishing review of a history seldom told.

Tour was very interesting and colourful. The history behind this tour was fascinating. The guide moved at a very nice pace, and entertained questions. It has been a very informative evening.

Dear Singapore Walks,
I had the great fortune to join the April 29 " Secrets of the Red Lantern " walk with Geraldine, and it was amazing! Geraldine knew every secret story about Chinatown, and took us into places I never would have found on my own. She delivered her stories with a sense of mystery, spice, and humor. Our group members were anywhere from in their 20's to their 60's, and she kept us all entertained and hanging on her words. She was friendly, considerate, and all-around great! I would highly recommend these walks to anyone visiting Singapore. They are not to be missed!
