5.00We had a great time on our tour with Kong! He did a great job of selecting food for us to try and also giving us a lot of info on the history of Singapore. He was very patient with our grumpy jet lagged kids. Would definitely recommend!!

5.00We had an incredible experience on our Singapore food tour with John. He was absolutely fantastic — so knowledgeable about the area and the hawker culture. John introduced us to some amazing local spots and gave us the confidence to explore the venues like seasoned locals. What made the tour truly special was how he immersed us in the culture, weaving in stories of Singapore’s history while guiding us through the food scene. His warmth and friendliness made the day even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend John to anyone wanting an authentic and engaging Singapore food experience.
Awesome food tour!

5.00This tour was amazing, I had a great time trying all of the different foods and definitely tried foods that I would not have tried if I would have ordered them! Raymond was very knowledgeable and I loved learning about the history of Singapore at the end of the trip! Definitely recommend it as an intro to food in Singapore! And ask for Raymond!
A taste of history

5.00This was a great introduction to Singapore and its hawker food stalls which are great value. It was just us on the tour so was like a private tour. John’s style was informal and natural (not scripted or rehearsed). John’s information varied based on questions you asked and he made links to us and where we are from. A lot of knowledge about the early immigrants to Singapore and how the Chinese came to be here and the history of how hawkers came to be. A good explore around Chinatown too. Fascinating for us as we have never been here before. Recommend to first time visitors- do this early in your trip.
Outstanding Tour

5.00John was an amazing guy. He answered all of our questions, explained the culture in detail and helped us understand what we could order in the future with street food vendors. He made sure we understand what we were eating and also was able to explain some of the quirky laws like why you cannot chew gum. 10/10 take the John!!!
