Nature guiding
Don’t let the skyscrapers and highways fool you. There is surprisingly much to see in the few precious wild places left in Singapore. I have had experience in guiding people from all walks of life - schoolgroups, families, senior citizens, tourists and sightseers, visiting researchers, photographers and artists, and groups from the government and private sectors. Fear not if you are an urbanite - I’ll always cater the walks to meet your needs and interests.

Rates
When guiding in the capacity of a licensed tourist guide, I go by reasonable and competitive rates. Tours are flexible, as are the rates, depending on the type of tour requested; a portion of the fees will be donated to local conservation funds.
You may be pleased to know that Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, among other places, offers free public guided walks on Saturdays. I do conduct free walks at the Reserve on certain weekends for walk-in visitors; all pre-booked tours, however, will incur a small fee.
