3 Ethnic Neighborhoods & UNESCO Street Food / Cultural Experience
Overview
Available languages
This exciting tour brings you to the ethnic neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Gelam. You will learn about the history, people, culture & heritage, which are what make Singapore uniquely diverse.
You will experience the everyday lives of the locals not only through sight and sound, but also through your taste buds. We will visit 2 UNESCO inscribed hawker centres (at Chinatown & Little India) and sample authentic local cuisines and drink, some of which have been passed down from generations and are fast diminishing due to the lack of family successors continuing with the trade.
To experience the local experience even further, we will also be taking public transportation between the different ethnic quarters, which are efficient, convenient and comfortable.
This tour will help you understand how the locals live their lives, which reflects Singapore's unique multi-racial and cultural lifestyle, and at the same time fill your stomachs with really amazing food and drink.

5.0Merry is a simply fantastic tour guide. He not only knows the food, but he knows the history of the island. Although food was the focus, he explained in detail each of the neighborhoods we visited. The food was excellent and bountiful. Definitely be hungry. A not to miss tour if you want to visit the ethnic neighborhoods and try their best food!
A great day with Gerry, hospitality +

5.0Our guide Gerry was fantastic. Not only getting us to off the tourist path food stops but giving us information about each community along the way. Gerry is a true host who enjoys what he does. This was our favorite day in Singapore.
Amazing tour!

5.0Amazing amazing amazing tour with Gerry! He was very communicative leading up to the tour pickup, and provided a wealth of information and hospitality throughout the tour! We learned so much about Singapore’s history & culture, and had plenty of local dishes. The tour felt like hanging out with an old friend who was taking the time to show you their city while you traveled through! Will do the tour again just for the good company and would highly recommend to my friends!
Fantastic day with Gerry!...
