Review for: [Join-in] Little India Walking Tour

This is a great tour! The tour guide Kim is very professional and enthusiastic! We visited Indian markets, salons, flower shops, etc. in Little India, and entered the Indian temple to worship, experience religion and improve our souls. We also ate various Indian naan and browsed the beautiful buildings and street murals in Little India. Come to Singapore to experience different ethnic groups and cultures, come to Little India; if you want to have a fulfilling trip in Little India, join this tour!

Kim was the perfect guide. We were able to introduce every corner of Little India and tour restaurants, markets, and even temples. It was a tour I signed up for in a hurry, but it was a really happy experience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our guide, LIN JIAHUI ❤️ The whole experience was incredibly relaxing, comfortable, and professional! I especially enjoyed the local Indian cuisine – so many dishes I'd never tried before! Everything was so fresh! If you've always dreamed of going to India but have concerns about safety and hygiene, I highly recommend experiencing the local culture in Singapore's Little India 👍🏻

This tour and my guide Christina were both excellent! The experience was in depth and gave a local perspective I couldn't have gotten otherwise. I really enjoyed the market, temple and flower row. Christina gives great details, personal stories and recommendations for photo spots.

Unlike the typical touristy experience of wandering around aimlessly, Miss Lin's explanations allowed me to delve into a different culture, experiencing foods and lifestyle activities I wouldn't normally try. With her guidance, I bravely entered unfamiliar Hindu temples and places filled with locals to worship and experience the culture – it was truly a novel experience. Thanks, Miss Lin! Awesome!
