Review for: Inclusivity Walking Tour

We had a different guide but there was no drop in quality or service. Tour was informative and fascinating and highlighted SG's LGBTQ+ history and stories. Observed some parallels between our countries through this.

'We were fortunate to have local personality Sam Jo lead the tour today. In his earnest and genial style, Sam fluently weaved interesting trivia of Singapore’s LGBTQ history into each location visited. Visual materials (old newspaper articles and video clips) were used well and added to the presentation. The tour ended with a “Pink Sling” cocktail (included within the tour fee) in a bar along Neil Road. We also received creatively designed souvenirs. Although the tour over-ran by 40 minutes, I didn’t mind as it was informative. Full credit to Sam for keeping us engaged throughout. My group was a diverse mix of locals and tourists. As a local, learning from the foreign visitors about the LGBTQ issues in their home jurisdictions made the evening more rewarding. This activity is highly recommended if you’re interested in a seldom discussed side of the Singapore story.

Review for: Inclusivity Walking Tour

A very enjoyable and informative tour of the history of inclusivity in Singapore. Actual historical sites are visited, providing an experiencial, historical perspective. The guide was friendly, well organized and a brilliant narrator. The tour had a perfect ending at a cosy bar with a local coctail included. The tour is highly recommended. (I have added a picture of the meeting place for the start of the tour. It is also near a restaurant called Ikigai Lzakaya).

This was really fun! Isaac was a great guide. There's something for everyone - some history, some heart warming stories, some funny anecdotes. And some thought provoking moments that sparked conversation that lasted even after the tour ended. Highly recommended!

Review for: [Monster Deals] LGBTQ walking tour

I'm really glad I booked this tour, after hearing about it on BBC Radio 4 back home in London. In what started as a personal pandemic project, Isaac walks you through Singapore's LGBTQ+ stories and history, most of which are not widely known or celebrated. He has an engaging style which brings the stories alive in the places where they happened. Your ticket includes snacks, unique branded merchandise (quality items you will really want to take home) and a cocktail at the end.

Good to know

  • Pack light and bring an umbrella just in case
  • Bring some water to hydrate along the tour
  • Wear comfortable shoes and clothes - Singapore can be hot and humid
  • The meeting point faces the riverfront, if you are unsure, ask the mall security for directions.
