This is an outstanding tour and the best I have ever been on. It's obvious Gerry is very proud of Singapore and comes his compassion comes through with talks. This is the ideal first day tour, picked up at the hotel, oriented to the variety of districts, learn how to use the MRT and bus system. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Gerry Tan was an excellent tour guide. He made sure all our needs were fully met. He provided friendly, personalized tour information. His communications were excellent and responded immediately to any questions we had. Well worth the money we paid.

Gerry was excellent! Never felt rushed, always there to provide insight to any questions we had. The food was excellent! A huge variety, very diverse; which fully represented Singapore. It was so fun and interesting, I’d do it again!

More than just a food tour, great info re history and cultural background of all areas. Tour progressed at a pace adapted to the group, awesome host!

Gerry is one of the best guides I’ve ever had. He cares so much for the people and communities he introduced us to, he is so invested in teaching as much as he can about the history of every place we passed or visited, and the variety and amount of foods we got to try was way above and beyond what any of us expected. I recommend this tour to everyone, even if you are not necessarily an adventurous eater, groups will of course have varying tastes and I personally think everything on this tour was delicious and that there was enough variety that there truly was something for everyone. This tour was a wonderful introduction to the country and he also helped us navigate by bus and subway which helped me become more comfortable getting around the rest of my trip. We walked a good amount but not excessively (I have MS and this tour was manageable for me).
