Review Body: Jayden is the perfect guide for this really unique tour. His humour and story-telling made the unfamiliar world of spirit mediums and Chinese deities so much more clearer for me. I've lived in Singapore for a long time now, but this tour made me feel like I just explored a whole other side of the country - where traditional Chinese practices and deity worship plays a big role in a significant portion of Singaporean's lives. I now have a deeper appreciation for where these practices came from and what they teach us about morals, values and the evolving nature of culture.

Review Body: Unique experience involving a fascinating side of S'pore that most foreigners (and even many S'poreans) won't otherwise encounter. Jayden is quite an enthusiastic guide and a mine of information (although make sure you're paying attention because the details about the afterlife can be quite complex). I would recommend bringing an umbrella just in case you get caught out in the open during the transit from one temple to another.

Review Body: We had an enjoyable & highly fascinating time on this tour. Jayden is rich in knowledge and very skilled in making more complex topics digestible, entertaining & easy to understand. My husband (foreigner) & I (local) both found it highly informative & interesting- and we’d definitely love to join more of his tours.

Review Body: Our Chinese Temple tour, run by Jayden from HeyLadTour, was very good. Jayden led us around various temples, explaining culture, customs and believes. He is very knowledgeable and his delivery makes you question a lot of things. I would highly recommend this tour and will also attend more myself.
