If you’re coming to Singapore, you must go on this tour! First, you get to try all types of local foods. We went to places and tried foods that we never would have tried or found. Leo took us to four different hawker centers, found tables for our group of five, and gave us information about each place we went. Most of them were Michelin. Secondly, we learned about the past, present, and future of Singapore. Well worth it! We were so full afterwards!
Dear Tiffany, I was so concerned that I did not provide enough food, you were tucking in with gusto. I am just so happy our services meet your expectation. Your satisfaction is our reward. Thank you so much for the review. Leo
Best tour we have ever done. Leo is friendly, professional, reliable, really knowledgeable and flexible to your needs. The Hawker Market food tastings were exceptional, Michelin starred or mentioned and you will definitely not be hungry!!! We did 2 tours with Leo and cannot recommend him highly enough❤️
Thank you so much for the great review. The Best is Yet to be Leo
Leo is a truly exceptional tour guide. Such a warm, thoughtful, patient and knowledgeable guide who showed us around this amazing city. His passion shines through. Highly recommend him.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are just happy that you had a great time on our tours
I had a really fantastic time with Leo on this tour with my husband and my 3.5yo son. Leo was really knowledgeable and it was an amazing experience not only seeing the hawker centres and showing us where and how the locals eat, but also sharing his experience as a Singaporean local and his appreciation for his city. I really enjoyed how the tour started by introducing us how to order a coffee like a local and also really loved the introduction to the Singapore CBD through his tour through the Singapore City Gallery and him sharing his knowledge about the city. We stayed in Singapore for 7 days and over the course of our stay we re-visited some of the places we tried on the tour. Highly recommend this tour!!
This was our favorite tour of our entire trip! Leo took us to all the best stalls across three different hawker centers, introducing us to dishes we wouldn’t have found on our own and ensuring we tasted a wide range of local favorites. Beyond the food, Leo gave us a comprehensive history of Singapore’s development and urban planning, which gave us incredibly helpful context as we explored the city on our own over the next few days. His knowledge, warmth, and clear passion for Singapore made this tour truly special. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Singapore’s food culture and understand the city on a deeper level.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review
Another great day in Singapore ... thanks to Leo. He is kind, fun, knowledgeable and a great tour guide. He showed us the non-touristy side of the Hawker Stalls. It was a fascinating day filled with information and food. We tried 10 different dishes (thank goodness by BF and I shared). Each dish was something we never would have tried without Leo guiding the way and we enjoyed each and every one! He also took us to the Singapore City Gallery to learn about the past, present and future of Singapore. It was a wonderful stop filled with information presented in an beautifully interactive style. We did 8,000 steps following Leo to a few of his old favorite Hawker Stalls and even a couple with a Michelin Star. It was. GREAT day! Until next time Leo!

Thank you so much. We are just so happy that you and Bob had a great time. Your joy is our success Leo
We had an amazing experience on a hawker food stand tour with Leo! He is an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging guide who not only introduced us to some of the best local dishes but also provided fascinating insights into Singapore’s history and future development. The tour was well-paced, and every stop featured outstanding food, from iconic classics to hidden gems I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Beyond the food, our visit to the planning museum was a highlight, offering a deeper understanding of Singapore’s growth and its ambitious vision for the future. If you’re looking for a tour that combines delicious food with meaningful cultural and historical insights, I highly recommend booking with Leo. He truly made the experience memorable!
Thank you so mych for appreciating our services. We are so happy to show you Singapore. Leo
Leo was excellent - more food we could eat and many we had never tried before. His tour of the City Gallery was very informative and provided us a good introduction to Singapore's history. My only comment is that the City Gallery portion was a bit too long with more information than we could absorb. Otherwise an excellent toutour guide. guide.
We had a fantastic tour of Singapore. Second time but saw things we missed the first time. Went to the Hawker Centres to sample a variety of dishes and visited the City Gallery. Must do tour if you want to see a different aspect of Singapore. Leo was a wealth of knowledge and clearly loves what he does. Make sure you have a light breakfast!
