Meet Jane's Singapore Tour Guide

Elaine

Elaine Low

Elaine blames a childhood diet of fantasy and adventure tales for her belief that there’s always something fascinating waiting to be uncovered, and that we only need to look deeper to discover something amazing!

Her enthusiasm for sharing new insights led her into the teaching profession, and some years later to exit from it in order to make the world her classroom, rather than confining lessons within four walls.

She does this by bringing students on overseas study tours, as well as through sharing aspects of Singapore’s history and culture with fellow explorers on her local tours.

Elaine taps upon her love for the arts to bring interesting perspectives to local stories and issues, and believes that the “Singapore Story’ is encapsulated within our local food culture.

She invites you to join her on a journey of discovery (or re-discovery) in Singapore.

Highly recommend booking a tour with her

The tour itself was brilliant, not only could we try loads of different delicious food at various hawker centers and shops, but Elaine was also very knowledgeable about the history of the hawker culture and the history of the various dishes. The 3.5 hours just passed by in a fly and in the end, we were well fed – with food and new things we had learned. Elaine also recommended some stalls to visit for other types of food. We were very happy with our tour and Elaine and would highly recommend booking a tour with her when your’re interested in food.

Amazing morning with our guide Elaine

We had an amazing morning with our guide, Elaine who shared lots of information about the history, art, architecture and human stories around Tiong Bahru. I had booked it as a surprise for my husband’s birthday, and we were both really happy and impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of Elaine.

Highly recommend and will do future tours with her / Jane’s Tours again. Thanks!

Elaine was very informative & enthusiastic

We had the pleasure of going on a Foodie Tour of Thiong Bahru. Our guide was Elaine who was very informative & enthusiastic. She took the time to get to know everyone’s name and it was a pleasure to be in her company. Although it was a very humid day there were plenty of stops to enjoy the local delicacies and Elaine explained the history or the area & the food with great knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour

Elaine is an excellent guide

We recently took a tour of Tiong Baharu and our guide was Ms Elaine. I would just like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for her.

She is an excellent guide and made the 2 hrs walk so enjoyable with her in depth knowledge of history and human stories. I never realised how time flew by. Would definitely like to take some more of your tours in the future.

Elaine was very knowledgable

Once again, I had a fabulous experience with Jane’s Tours!

Our guide Elaine was very knowledgable about the areas we visited and even helped us take the best possible photos. The tour was a great mixture of the different cultures that make up Singapore, including the Chinese, Indian and Malay people and the Arab influence. Beautiful sights, tastes and smells- I highly recommend this tour!
