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.

Our One Day Private Tour with Sarah Lev We took a one-day, private tour with Sarah. Our goal was to gain a much better understanding of the history and growth of Singapore into the financial and cultural powerhouse it is today. We had toured intermittently the prior few days with other groups but were left with many more questions than answers. Sarah addressed these with a custom, tailored tour that met and exceeded our expectations. We learned the history as well as much of the religion, art and culture beginning with the year 1299 over coffee reviewing Sarah’s historic maps at one of the oldest buildings. The tour included parts of the river, the National Gallery including art and architecture, and then several neighborhoods and the two most famous temples and associated art and architecture along the way. By the end, we gained an intimate appreciation of Singapore of old and today and are very grateful to Sarah and her wonderful, personalized tour for this.

Sarah Lev Kerem Tours My dad and I are exploring Southeast Asia for a few weeks and really wanted to spend a few days in Singapore to start our trip. Sarah was recommended to us from our travel agent and she was absolutely fantastic! She has a a strong knowledge in art history, religious sites, and the green architecture/culture of Singapore. We spent two days with Sarah and got a nice taste of everything. She was flexible and really made our experience special and to our liking with her itinerary geared towards our interests. Sarah was extremely knowledgable and beautifully combined the past of Singapore with its modern identity. Overall, we cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her tour and how it truly enhanced our experience and knowledge of Singapore! Coming from America, this was a far away place and we really wish to return again one day. WOW!

Highly recommended tour guide Sarah Lev I have been on a number of Sarah Lev’s tours, and every time I have learnt so much. Her knowledge of Singapore history, art, culture and architecture is impressive, and she knows how to structure tours which have just the right mix of walking and talking, and are designed with the tour participants in mind.
