5.00Ron was very knowledgable about street food as well as Singapore overall. He explained in detail about the 3 main ethnic groups residing here under one nationality that helped to understand why this country does not have the issues we have in the US. 10/10 would highly recommend.

5.00Our tour guide, Jack, took us on a wonderful walk through three hawker spots, ranging from the most famous hawkers to ones more preferred by the locals. He did a fabulous job of explaining Singapore's local culture. Jack did a great job of talking with us to understand our food preferences and showcase local dishes that we would enjoy. As we walked around, it felt like exploring the city with someone who was genuinely excited to tell you about his home. Additionally, he gave us a number of recommendations for both food to try and other experiences worth checking out during our visit. It was a fabulous tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
