5.00We ended up with a private tour which allowed for excellent conversation and a deeper dive into the life of a Singaporean. So many food offerings--a 5 course meal at Maxwell Food Centre, cake, tea, durian, and a Kaya breakfast to finish off the tour. Made for a perfect first day in Asia!

5.00The small group walking tour with Jason exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the heritage into the local area was brilliant and he provided us with a good variety of different street food to sample. Jason had a great sense of humour which made it a fun and informative tour. The Chicken Rice and the Laksa were my favourite from all the samples. We can definitely recommend this tour.
A worthy trip to Chinatown

5.00Jason was a brilliant guide for us. He assembled a brilliant selection of food from Maxwell Hawker including queuing up for the Tian Tian Chicken and Rice. Jason explained each dish weaving Singapore history through the food for us. After the food we then went a tour of China Town and Jason had amazing knowledge of the area, especially the Budda Tooth Temple. Would highly recommend this tour.

Jason made sure the food tastings he suggested were suitable for us. It was a very personal experience. Jason was a very pleasant person to spend a couple of hours with. We would recommend this tour without question.
