Fantastic morning at r food and culture, thoroughly recommend Kent

5.00Fantastic food tour with Kent he did an amazing job of sharing the Singaporean culture and heritage such that we understood some of the history behind what we were eating and insights into the country. A delicious combination of treats we would never have been able to find on our own. Thanks very much for a great morning and also for your recommendations (especially assistance with trying durian!).
Our tour person Ronald was knowledgeable, organized and fun.

5.00We had an amazing experience with Secret Food Tours Singapore, especially thanks to our wonderful guide, Kent! We’ve actually been living in Singapore for the past 4 months, but still learned so much about the country’s history, culture, and food scene through this tour. Kent was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, and made every stop feel meaningful and fun. We loved trying so many local foods, from hawker favorites to hidden gems, and especially enjoyed having our very first cup of kopi and kaya toast! Even our 17 month old toddler tried and loved everything, which made the experience even more memorable for our family. We highly recommend this tour for both tourists and new transplants alike.

5.00Took the food tour with Kent. He was a great tour guide, super knowledgeable, and charismatic. It was raining quite heavily when we started the tour so he was able to modify the normal walking route to keep us under cover for most of the time. The food was excellent quality. Great selections and everything was a new local food I hadn't tried yet. I liked all of them except for one which I tried a bite but didn't care for.
A must to do at the beginning of your visit!
