The guide (Richard, the shorter and skinnier one) was AMAZING. Very kind and compassionate and full of information.
Richard Ong was an excellent host and tour guide. Our time with him with enjoyable and educational. His demeanor is very pleasant. He took his time to explain the food and Singapore culture and answered all of our questions well.
Amazing experience with Richard Ong and Zyreea. Fantastic and diverse food that was all delicious. Well organized and planned. Highly recommended.
The experience was great, Richard was a good tour guide. Had fun!
Great variety of food, good information and knowledge. Loved the food and scenery between the Hawkers. I've revisited one place already!
Michelin food tour is a must try! Our guide Sween was awesome. The food that was chosen for us to try was amazing. Each dish was full of flavor. I loved that the history of Singapore was also tied into our tour. I have a great appreciation of Singapore and of its food. When we come back to Singapore, I would love to do another tour. Thank you to Sween and her colleague for an amazing tour. Everything was prepared for us in advance of our arrival.
I had a fantastic time on the Michelin & Hawker Food Tour with Monster Day Tours and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wonderful variety of dishes that showcased the incredible mix of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences that make Singapore's food scene so special. Every stop offered something different, and everything we tasted was full of flavour. Our guide, Marcus, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into Singapore's history, culture and food heritage, which made the experience so much more than just a food tour. A special mention also to Kieron, who did an amazing job making sure everything was ready for us at each hawker stall. He had everything organised before we arrived, so we could simply sit down and enjoy the food without having to queue or wait. It was a brilliantly organised, relaxed and enjoyable experience, and one of the highlights of my time in Singapore. If you're looking to discover authentic local food while learning more about the city's rich culinary culture, this tour is a must.
Not just a food experience, Marcus also went into a lot of history about Singapore whilst walking around.
Delicious food and great to learn more about the history of Singapore. Great to have tables ready to and food out quickly. Marcus and Kieran were great!
Great tour with a variety of food tastings from multiple Hawker centers. Swee Lin was very knowledgeable and shared many facts about the history of Singapore. Come ready with an empty stomach!
