This is an absolute MUST DO Singapore experience. Our tour guide Gerry spent six hours walking, talking, training and bussing us around tricky-to-find-on-your-own places. The food throughout the day was delicious and plentiful; the community nature of how Gerry manages the food is heartwarming; the knowledge he imparted was interesting; the whole day was brilliant. The group sizes are kept deliberately small so the participants have the chance to chat and get to know each other which was a surprise aspect of the day. The food was managed well and in the Chinese quarter, leftover food was respectfully given to members of the community who gratefully received it. This was a very good aspect of the way Gerry handles this tour. He is clearly well-liked and we were greeted by everyone we passed- Gerry runs tours every day.

Gerry our guide was funny and informative. Food was in abundance as were drinks. Loved everything about this tour. Capped at 8 with the guide it was very personal. Pick up and drop off included which made it so much easier than trying to find our way to a meeting point. It was absolutely fabulous.

Can’t begin to express how amazing this tour is. Gerry is by far one of the coolest people my husband and I have had the pleasure meeting. Gerry’s tour is thoughtful, educational, involved, and man, the food is delicious. Gerry is clearly very knowledgeable about his culture, and everywhere you go he is not only known, but adored by the others working in the hawker stalls and the small shops along the way. He will make you feel like you’re a local too. I genuinely can’t express how thankful we were to have been able to hang out with Gerry in Singapore while on our trip. We haven’t stopped talking about it. If you’re thinking about it, I highly suggest it. He genuinely is an open book and any questions you have about the culture, whether historical or present day, he will be happy to share. Gerry, thank you again so much for just such an awesome day. I wish you and your family the best of luck, you deserve it so much! Amazing amazing!!!
