Truly rare gem, truly worth it!

5.00We’ve been doing a lot of food tours when we go to a different country, to give us a taste of the culture and history. This tour is a true gem and I would recommend this to my friends and family members. Kristine is a great storyteller. She tells the history of Singapore through food. We were only expecting to be full from eating food but we also got full from a lot of beautiful stories from each dish and sights along the way. The food is also very good. We know it’s curated. Well done! Bravo!
Fantastic!

5.00William is the best guide!!! He is very personable, keen to share his knowledge about Singapore and its local food culture. We were delighted to have a dish prepared by a Michelin star chef. All of the dishes were varied and delicious. William treated us to a few must sees in Singapore on our way back to the cruise ship. Do not hesitate to book this tour and be sure to ask for William.
Great walking food tour

5.00We really enjoyed the Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore! Our guide, Kristine, was delightful, warm, knowledgeable, and fun. We learned so much about Singaporean food and culture. I went with my 93-year-old mother, and Kristine took wonderful care of us throughout the tour. We were lucky to be the only two participants, which made it a very personal experience. It also helped us get familiar with the hawker food centres so we could go back and explore them on our own. A great way to experience delicious Singaporean food! We highly recommend it .
A fabulous evening tasting traditional dishes

5.00We had the BEST experience with William our tour guide who was so knowledgeable. He brought us to some fantastic small eateries to taste true Singapore dishes amongst the locals. All of which were truly delicious. From there we did a walk locally, while William explained local traditions & pointed out some historic buildings. All in all it was a great night & William was an exceptional host. If you get the chance to do this your, don’t hesitate & mage sure you ask for William to be your guide, you won’t regret it!
William is the GOAT of culinary tours!

5.00William was an amazing source of knowledge and energy delivering a 10/10 culinary tour of a local Singapore neighbourhood hawkers market. We ate 8 different dishes from all types of local backgrounds, expertly explained by William about how they came to exist in modern Singapore. Once our group couldn’t eat any more, William then kindly offered to give us a walking tour around the neighbourhood itself explaining a lot of the history of that particular area of Singapore in great detail. Can’t recommend William highly enough - more than 24 hours later he was still offering our group assistance with securing bookings at restaurants and offering suggestions for some of the lesser known/visited places of interest in Singapore.
Great Food Tour!!
