This food tour was so incredible. The food we received was phenomenal, and nothing I would have thought to try on my own! Our guide William was knowledgeable and friendly. My favourite part of the tour was when we went to the Singapore Centre and William gave us an interesting view into the nations incredible cultural history, present and future. I would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!
We had a fantastic experience on the Authentic Singapore Food Tour! Our guide, Wiliam, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, and really brought Singapore to life. The variety of food we tried was excellent, including plenty of dishes and flavours that I probably wouldn’t have tried on my own. Everything was a great introduction to Singapore’s diverse food culture. What made the tour especially interesting was the information Wiliam shared about Singapore’s history, as well as the city’s future plans and development. It gave us a much deeper appreciation of Singapore beyond just the food. William also helped guide us with Hawker Market etiquette so we are confident to venture back on our own. Go hungry - there is so much food! A thoroughly enjoyable tour with a great guide. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Singapore through its food, history and culture.
We enjoyed our food tour with Loy. We got to try some old favourites and some new dishes which we really enjoyed. We were very full by the end. Loy was very interesting to talk to and we learned lots about the history and daily life in Singapore.
Justin was a wonderful guide. He was very mindful of our food allergy and still made sure we were able to have a variety of foods. He also was super well prepared, answered our many questions and was fun to be around. Thanks Justin, you made our first night in Singapore great!
An amazing experience! When I ended up being the only attendee for our time slot, William went out of his way to take me to a further neighborhood from where I was staying in order to avoid repeating any stalls I may have already visited. On the way over, he took the time to explain the history of the country and the neighborhoods we were driving by. His food selections were incredible, and he did an amazing job setting me up for the rest of my visit. I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the food, culture, history, and attractions of Singapore!
Loy is great local guide with deep knowledge and insights for Singapore. Very enriched experience!
This is a must do tour. Justin was in incredible. I very much enjoyed the food but also enjoyed Justin. So knowledgeable, interesting and friendly. I walked away with a full belly and a new found friend!
Thank you so much for this review! Hearing that you walked away not only with a full belly, but also with a new friend in Justin, is the highest praise we could ask for. We will be sure to share your wonderful words with him - thank you for choosing to tour with us!
Could not recommend this tour and David as a tour guide highly enough! From before the tour even started, David got in touch to check preferences, allergies etc and gave very helpful directions about where to meet. The tour itself was a mixture of delicious food, genuinely tailored to the things we were interested in and our preferences, plus an abundance of interesting information about the food, it's history and Singaporean culture and history. Truly unique and special experience that will likely be a highlight of our trip.
Thank you so much for this glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour with David, and got to try local food paired with its cultural context. We will be sure to pass along your high recommendation to him!
Tour guides was so fun. Great time and felt very valued on the tour!
