I had an amazing time with William. I feel like I got a better idea of the history and culture of Singapore and got to eat some amazing food along the way. The communication was clear before hand. You can tell that he loves to share Singapore with visitors. I am so glad a paid a little extra to have a one on one tour rather than join a pre-existing group. Thank you William!
What a great way to learn about Singapore and eat like royalty at the same time. Marcus took care of our every need and we only wish we have done this tour immediately after arriving.
We had a fabulous time with Ronnie. He was great at introducing us to a variety of Hawker stalls in Chinatown and had some incredible food. We never would have been able to find these great places ourselves and glad we had Ronnie there to show us. He also gave us a really good insight into the culture and history of Singapore. Highly recommend!
This food tour is one of the best tours I’ve experienced. Stefan is both knowledgeable about the variations of street food, the history of the city and attractions. We are so thankful for our experience. The Laska was chef’s kiss.
What a shambles! We arrived at the designated meeting point 20 minutes early and told our guide by WhatsApp we were present. Some 20 minutes after the scheduled time, the guide sent a WhatsApp cancelling the tour. We then had a struggle to get a refund from Trip Advisor. Use with caution.
Great introduction to Hawker Centers and Chinatown History The Hawker Centers can be overwhelming for a newcomer. We signed up for this tour to get an introduction. John was a fantastic Tour Guide! He showed us several large Hawker Centers and treated us to tastings from a few great ones. He explained how the Michelin food rating worked for Hawker Centers and pointed out some of the very best ones. He also helped us to learn about etiquette and gave us many tips for getting the best food. John also shared a lot of information about Chinatown. This included the immigration of various ethnic groups. He added i formation about his family history, which was great! He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and made it a fabulous experience! Thank you. Jobn!
This was a fast-paced, well organized, comprehensive and fun experience. Ang was a spectacular guide.
Our guide Roy was excellent! He was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly, and fun! We learned so much about Singapore and had a great time! Roy was also helpful in answering our questions and giving recommendations. Highly recommended!
We had an incredible time on our tour with Stefan. It was our first night in Singapore so it was a great way to learn more about the city and experience some delicious food. Stefan was very accomodating, finding alternative options to suit our dietary requirements. Highly recommend a tour with him.
Chengmeng was attentive and informative responding to our dietary restrictions. The kids had a fabulous time if it werent for the heat. Worth every penny.
