Our story

Tours the way a local would show you

Kaki Walks started with a simple frustration: too many visitors leaving Singapore having seen the postcards but missed the place. We walk you through the neighbourhoods that made the city, with the people who actually live them.

Home/About

Foot-powered, founder-led

Faridah Rahim grew up two streets from Sultan Mosque and spent years quietly correcting the tour buses that rumbled past her front door. Kaki Walks is what happened when she stopped muttering and started walking people round herself.

We’re a small crew of guides who each know one or two neighbourhoods inside out. We keep groups small, walk at a human pace, and weave food through nearly everything — because half of understanding Singapore is tasting it. Our free walks run on tips, our paid walks list a clear price with the tastings included, and nobody ever follows a raised umbrella.

It’s a friendlier, slower, more honest way to see the city — and after a few thousand walks, it’s still the only way we’d want to do it.

What we stand for

The Kaki way

Loved by walkers

A 4.9-star average across hundreds of reviews. Our walkers come for the neighbourhoods and remember the guides.

Light on the city

Foot-powered tours, small groups and local stalls. We keep our walks gentle on the neighbourhoods we love and the people who live in them.

Honest, friendly pricing

Free walks really are free — tip what you feel. Paid walks list a clear per-pax price with the tastings included, no surprises at the end.
