Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I had initially thought Peter’s Toy Experience was a trip to various well-known stores with huge collection of toys around Singapore. Boy, was I wrong. Peter, having been brought up in another generation where toys were made from simple, daily life items such as marbles, feathers, papers, and bottle caps, explained the history of toys through props and activity that are children friendly like folding various types of paper planes in MINT Museum of Toys (What better place to learn toy history than here?). The tour will end at the Tintin Shop located in Chinatown with a bit of history on the cartoonist, Georges Remi and the main characters of The Adventures of Tintin. If you are toy aficionado, a kid at heart or simply looking for something that is children-friendly, look no further!"
