Hi, I'm John Chee-Huat.
I love to meet people around the world and make them feel welcome to Singapore. I am full of stories to share with you. I experience the development and know the journey of Singapore from a slum to a modern city, and from a swamp to a nature garden. I am exposed to many cultures and have travelled to more than 50 countries due to previous work prior to becoming a guide. I also lived abroad in USA for more than 10 years. I am passionate about food, history, diversity, heritage, architecture and unique Singapore discoveries. I am packed with anecdotes as I am a 4th generation true blue Singaporean where my great grandfather arrived in 1880s. i continue to learn about Singapore and the world, to stay relevant and interesting so as to engage well with my guests from overseas. Be surprised by what I can share. It will be my honor to host you. Let me take you around this island I call home and show you some good fun.
