Eric and Eddie were wonderful hosts who took the time and trouble to give a good account of who Peranakans were and the lives they lead. The house itself was a strong supporting actor chock full of furniture, clothing and other memorabilia. Strongly recommended.

Angeline is an amazing and captivating guide. She brought us around and showed us the collection the house had. She went above and beyond our expectations by extending the tour too. She gave us a greater understanding of the Peranakan culture. Will recommend to others.

My little boy 10 years old and I had great experience with Angeline. She was very kind and imformative. We have been for many other Peranakan museums but I felt Angline‘s explaination was very clear and knowledgable. And the decoration of Antique House was very nice and beautiful especial Angline showed us backyard and kitchen. The kitchen was amazing. We will definately bring my parents and relatives to visit again.
