Brillant ! Informative in a fun way.

Published on Jan, 2025

Alfie was an amazing guide! Very informative , we learnt so much about Singapore! He was very easy to understand and made the whole tour so very enjoyable in every way! A fantastic introduction to Singapore in a fun way on a bicycle, totally safe and entertaining. We did actually deviate from the booked tour in consultation with Alfie and did Singapore city highlights instead as it was our first time in Singapore! We will do the original tour next time, hopefully with Alfie! Thank you for a fantastic experience.

Unique look at Singapore through Tan Ah Huat

Published on Jun, 2024

Alfie was very informative with telling us about how the average Singaporean lived in the 1920s. It wasn’t the rags to riches story which made the tour more interesting and enjoyable. We visited all the main landmarks but through the eyes of Tan Ah Huat. If you are looking for something different to do in Singapore, I recommend this tour.

Brilliant Tour and Storytelling!

Published on Apr, 2023

The emphasis on storytelling is what makes this tour shine. Usually I am happy to walk around, enjoy the sights, and get a glimpse of history. When I was on the Tan Ah Huat Chinatown Walking tour, I wanted to know everything! The tour guide uses the story of Tan Ah Huat to teach you about 1920’s Chinatown. Tan Ah Huat is a fictional character whose life was similar to many immigrants of this time period. I was captivated by the way money, tea, spices, trade, gangsters, love and death touched Tan Ah Huat’s Life! Yap was our tour guide. We asked him a million questions and he answered them all! He even stayed after to recommend local eats and other hidden gems! There are non-biking versions of this tour incase you want to go on foot. Highly recommend!

Definitely worthwhile

Published on Aug, 2022

Alfie was brilliant, accommodating my husband and I on this tour. He was engaging and interesting as we followed the story around key points and destinations in Singapore. Definitely learnt a lot and a great way to spend the morning. Highly recommended.

Simon our guide was excellent and we learnt so much about the history of Singapore that would be otherwise impossible without the visual experience as well.
