Don't miss this Jewish Tour in Singapore Sarah is one of the best tour guides we have ever had in our world wide travels. Her knowledge of the history of Jews in Singapore is amazing. Her interaction with the Jews and their stories were heart warming. Her background of living all over the world adds to her perspective in her stories. If we ever go back to Singapore we will reach out to Sarah for a non-Jewish tour. Shalom Sarah

An Excellent Engagingly Wonderful and Informative Tour of Singapore's Rich Jewish Heritage Ignorantly, having no idea that Singapore at any time hosted Jewish heritage, Sarah Lev provided a most informative and engaging private guided historical tour commencing with the first Jewish Iraqi immigrants dating back to the mid-1800's. Site visits were well prepared in advance ensuring not only standard visitation, but also ensuring that the powers that be were present at said historical institutions for personalization and insight. Her insights provided the context behind the original movement of Jews to Singapore with the arrival of Sir Thomas Raffles annexation of the Port City of Singapore on behalf of the British, tying the past and present together in a methodology supporting the understanding of the role that the original Jewish founders played.Sarah Lev is a consummate professional and knowledgeable guide leaving us only regretting that we did not take advantage of booking additional tours with her during our short visit to Singapore.

Book with Sarah, make your trip way more enjoyable! We had a tour with Sarah at the National Museum of Singapore, and she made the entire experience absolutely fascinating with her impeccable knowledge of history and architecture. Talk about engaging—my husband has the attention span of a three-year-old, but throughout the entire tour, both of us were captivated by her insights and facts.Sarah shared everything from the museum’s construction to its remodeling into its current state. Her knowledge of history was impressive, as she covered details about artwork, dates, and significant events in Singapore’s timeline. We even took a walk around the area, where she pointed out numerous public art pieces.If you’re considering booking a tour with Sarah, don’t hesitate—she’s absolutely worth it. Her passion for art and history shines through every moment of the experience. The next time I visit Singapore, I’ll definitely book another tour with her!Let me know if you’d like any further adjustments!

An amazing experience - highly recommended The tour was completely customized to our interests and paste. Sarah was very knowledgeable. She kept is interesting and colorful, moving from modern time Singapore architecture to early 20th century stories, and changing the tour flow and storyline based on our questions and interests. Having a tour guide like Sarah, that loves Singapore, and has passion to history, architecture, geography and people makes a big difference. Sarah is full of knowledge that goes way beyond the scope of the tour itself and it made the discussion and stories so fascinating.While I live in Singapore for so many years now, I learnt so much!Highly recommended!

Enhance your Singapore experience I was with Tom for the tour in December 2024 that he reviewed earlier. I agree with him 100% and urge anyone travelling to Singapore to contact Sarah for the Jewish Heritage or any tour of the city.

Fantastic Jewish Heritage Tour of Singapore We took the Singapore Jewish Heritage tour with Sarah Lev with two other couples we met on a cruise that ended in Singapore. We had seen excellent reviews of Sarah and this tour and both the tour and Sarah as a guide were as good as we had heard. She is very knowledgeable, and has lived in Israel, the United States and now Singapore, so she brings a lot of background knowledge of Singapore and Jewish Heritage to the tour. I believe that we took this tour the day after Stuart (who was on the same cruise and who wrote a prior review), and I frankly agree with everything in that review. I will add that I wish we had focused earlier on the fact that Sarah leads other tours in Singapore. If we had, we would have tried to book additional tours with her, as she is such an excellent guide. As it happened, we were flying out the same day we took this tour, so there was no time for additional tours. She was very conscious of our timing issue, and made sure that we finished the tour exactly on time.

An Outstanding Jewish Heritage Tour with Sarah Lev My wife and I had the incredible opportunity to take a private Jewish heritage tour of Singapore with Sarah Lev, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Coming into the experience, we had no idea about the rich Jewish history of Singapore, but Sarah’s expertise and engaging storytelling opened our eyes to a fascinating and often-overlooked part of the city’s past.The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly our visits to two historic synagogues. Sarah provided us with a thorough and captivating history of these beautiful spaces, sharing stories of their significance to the Jewish community and Singapore as a whole. Her knowledge of the important Jewish figures connected to the synagogues, as well as their contributions to Singapore’s government and society, brought these sites to life in a way that was both meaningful and memorable.In addition to the synagogues, Sarah shared a broader history of Singapore, giving us valuable context for understanding how the Jewish community fits into the city’s diverse cultural tapestry. Her personable and knowledgeable approach made the experience not only educational but also deeply enjoyable.If you’re considering a private tour in Singapore, I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. Her passion for history, combined with her warm and engaging personality, ensures an unforgettable experience. This tour gave us a new appreciation for Singapore’s Jewish heritage, and we’re so grateful to Sarah for making it such a special day.

A Glimpse at Jewish Singapore Wow - what can I say. We have been on many, many tours and found that Sarah ranks up there with the best. We find that a great tour starts with a tour guide that understands their subject AND can convey that information to you so you understand. As well you need to take the time to establish context for what you will be seeing and learning. She did all of that. We specifically were looking at the Jewish Heritage Tour and the looking at how Jewish people had influenced the growth of Singapore. Our group loved her and that story that she told. We went to both synagogues and then walked in the neighborhood so she showed us two of the buildings still standing with visible Jewish markings. She had a rapport with all of the people involved at both synagogues. We had a great discussion with Mendy, a Chabad "bocher" who shared so much of his history and the present day activities of the Jewish community in Singapore. Unfortunately we had to leave before Shabbat or we would have stayed and enjoyed the kiddush. At the end of the tour Sarah showed us the kosher restaurant in the Jewish Center, as it happened it started to rain heavily and we stayed and had lunch there. While it was typical Israeli and not Asian, it was one of the best meals we had on our 21 day trip to the Far East. Thanks Sarah for a wonderful day.
