Alvin is very knowledgeable about SG history and gave a lot of insights about triads as well. He is accommodating and easy to talk to. He speaks fluent English. The walking tour is enjoyable with lots of photos stops and breaks in between. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting SG (even locals) for a fresh/unique experience of SG.

I highly recommend this unique experience. Watching the performers get ready and being able to photograph them was a real treat. The chance to test Leica cameras was also a highlight, with a helpful representative on hand for any questions. Overall, it was a unique and fun experience that I highly recommend to anyone interested in opera, culture or photography.

Robin Loh was very friendly and informative. We loved our very relaxing view of an alternative side of Singapore. Thoroughly recommend it.
