Great for all ages

Justin was great! His relationships with the different owners meant we got to sample a lot of different foods without huge waits. He added a little bit of history into the short walks between vendors, just enough to give context without being too boring for the kids. Was great with my two sons making sure they got enough to eat while encouraging them to try new foods but not pushing. Definitely recommend.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Justin and got to try the different foods in Singapore along with your two sons. Thank you for touring with us!

A deep dive into Singapore city street food, history, & culture

Loy was extremely knowledgeable about Singspore history, city planning, street food, and culture. It was an extremely enjoyable 3 hours. The pace was good & choices of food fantastic. We focused on China town, Maxwell hawker shops, & Singapore city gallery.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this detailed review! Combining a walk through Chinatown and Maxwell Food Centre with a visit to the Singapore City Gallery is a brilliant way to understand how city planning and food culture intersect. Loy will be thrilled to know that you enjoyed the pace, history, and food choices across those three hours!

Personalised food and cultural tour of Singapore

This was a very personalised tour, with just the guide and my wife and myself. As well as explaining the food culture the walk around the markets also shed light on the cultural groups that make up the Singapore population. It was more than just a food tour and because it was so interesting the 3 hours went very quickly.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! We are delighted that the time flew by for you and your wife, and we appreciate your thoughtful feedback!
