Ever wondered what it’s really like to be a Tourist Guide in Singapore? The road to becoming a licensed guide isn’t an easy one—it’s physically demanding, involves a lot of research, and yes, you’ll need to do plenty of reading. But don’t be discouraged! When approached with the right mindset, it can be an incredibly fun and rewarding journey.

Once you’ve earned your license, you can choose your specialisation: Nature, Cultural, or Heritage Guide. But no matter which path you take, one thing is certain – being a Tourist Guide is more than just showing tourists around for a few hours. With the rise of digital technology, today’s guides are increasingly connected to both local and international visitors, making it a dynamic and ongoing role.

For retired uncles and aunties, it’s a fantastic retirement career or hobby. For the young, or young at heart, it’s a perfect way to explore Singapore’s rich history while sharing your passion with others.

I’d like to invite you to join me for a tour that’ll give you a taste of the life of a Tourist Guide. On Sat, 28th June 2025, at 9am, we’ll meet at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. After alighting, take Exit B and head towards Orchard Road/Penang Road street level. I am easily recognised by my Tourist Guide badge.

Together, we’ll dive into the challenges and rewards of guiding, using Fort Canning Park as our starting point. Fort Canning is not only a historic gem but also a popular site for guide assessments, so it’s the perfect place to begin our journey.

This tour is specifically designed for Tourist Guide trainees, but of course, visiting tourists – local or international – are also more than welcome to join in!

Whether you’re thinking about becoming a Tourist Guide or are simply curious about the profession, this is an excellent chance to get a glimpse of what it takes. See you there!
