Many thanks to Tim for an information-filled morning! He has a lovely grasp of the complexities of the past and a knack for articulating them in an easy-to-understand context.

Southeast Asia Private and Small Group Walking Tours
Known in the 19th century as the East Indies, Southeast Asia is recognized for its sprawling mix of ethnicities, cultures, languages, religions, and tropical landscapes
Southeast Asia is defined by two zones: its mainland countries, made up of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and West Malaysia) and its maritime islands, which include East Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei, and East Timor.
As a tropical region, Southeast Asia is famous for its golden beaches, dense jungles, and spewing volcanoes. Bordered by the Pacific and Indian Oceans, it has historically been a site for commerce, drawing traders from near and far. As you travel, you’ll feel a jolt from the bustling, chaotic energy that comes from the hugely diverse range of people that live there.

Alice was the most outstanding tour guide ever!!!! she was so personable and knowledgeable! She taught us so much and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She also went the extra mile to make sure we knew where we were going after the tour since we were new to visiting Singapore. We learned so much about the food. She was so accommodating to our specific interests. She became more like a friend to us and we felt so comfortable touring around with her. She made our time in Singapore so memorable. We definitely want to do another tour with her when we come back!!!
