We loved this tour. Jason was an exceptional guide who was knowledgeable, informative and very personable. We tried a huge variety of food including some durian fruit and teh tarik (Malaysian tea). We could have had more but we were too full. We thoroughly recommend this tour and better yet, it's reasonably priced. No need to think twice, just book it.

We ended up with a private tour which allowed for excellent conversation and a deeper dive into the life of a Singaporean. So many food offerings--a 5 course meal at Maxwell Food Centre, cake, tea, durian, and a Kaya breakfast to finish off the tour. Made for a perfect first day in Asia!
Thank you for your great review. Thanks again & please take care!
The small group walking tour with Jason exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the heritage into the local area was brilliant and he provided us with a good variety of different street food to sample. Jason had a great sense of humour which made it a fun and informative tour. The Chicken Rice and the Laksa were my favourite from all the samples. We can definitely recommend this tour.
