Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"This tour is an absolute highlight. Richard was not only incredibly knowledgeable about local history, wildlife and nature, but also a talented professional photographer who captured wonderful images of our time together. The experience was relaxed, personal, fun, and informative. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone wanting to see a very special piece of Singapore!"
"Richard was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the natural environment of Singapore and Singapore more broadly. A great ambasaador for his country. We saw lots of animals including Otters, monitor lizards, a monitor lizard eating a frog(!), crabs, fish, lots of birds. Recommend."
"we (2 adults + 1 toddler) had a blast! Thank you very much!"
"Richard was my guide last night on a night walk in Pasir Ris Park. He knows the park like the back of his hand. And he knows a lot about the animals and insects you can find there. Richards was very helpful. There were an abundance of different insects, spiders and millipedes. We also found crabs, snails, reptiles and amphibians. All in all a great experience and a very productive macro photography evening. I definitely recommend this night walk!"

"Richard is a very understanding and knowledgeable guide. Our original scheduled date was unfortunately met with a thunderstorm. As we are a family including young kids (2 and 4 years old) and elderly couple, Richard was understanding enough to reschedule it! During the walking tour, Richard shared many interesting facts about the park and was able engage both young and old! Will definitely this tour to travellers who want to experience off the city experience! "
"I lived in Singapore as a child and wanted to revisit Pasir Ris as I had so many happy memories there. Though now almost unrecognisable some 50 years later, Richard took us round the resort and shared his vast knowledge of the area including the plants and the wildlife. Not only that he is a friendly guy and has much knowledge of Singapore in general he is happy to share. It was a truly wonderful experience and the highlight of my trip. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a private tour guide. Thanks Richard! "
"Great walk through the Pasir Ris reserve. Saw migratory birds, otters, (including a video 2 young boys we met up with had taken moments earlier), butterflies, a community garden ....Richard loves his local community and landscape and was his enthusiasm shone through. He brought to life living in a kampong by sharing stories of growing up in a kampong. Highly recommend you spend some time 'with a local' like Richard"
