Geraldene's Walking Tours
Geraldene Lowe Ismail is a
sprightly lady who has been doing this for over 40 years. She was born & brought up here in Singapore but evacuated to Australia when WW2 broke out. She has
the most amazingly diverse ethnic background which includes Russian,
Italian, Chinese, Arabic etc etc... She speaks fluent English, Malay, Italian
and some Chinese. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the anecdotes
and histories of Singapore. She is also one of the founding members of the
Singapore Heritage Society and played a part in putting together that
seminal book, 'Pastel Portrait', in 1984. She is lovingly known as the oldest 'Street Walker' of Singapore!
