Tomy brought us on a tour (his first!) with a good mix of well known and smaller more hidden spots in the area we picked. The route thoughtfully (since he mentioned he planned it this way) had a good amount of shade, A/C indoors, and bathroom/water stops. He is very knowledgeable, never needing to look at notes to explain the places he brought us, answer questions, or get from stop to stop. His tour felt mostly like when you get set up with a friend of a friend somewhere you've never been who happens to be a bit of a history nerd and is very excited to show you around their city pointing out interesting things as you go, which I think is perfect and very similar to his YouTube video style (we used his videos to do most of our planning).

It was a lovely tour organized by the host Tomy Arden Phang. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared some unbelievable insights about the history of Singapore with us. We got to explore iconic places like The Fullerton Hotel, The Merlion Park, The Victoria Theatre etc. to name a few. Anybody coming to Singapore should definitely go ahead with Tomy as their tour guide. Highly recommended.!!
