5.00Silvia was very warm, friendly, and personable. She was like a friend showing us around Chinatown. She is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the customs and traditions of the people. She introduced us to some of the foods and beverages that are popular with the locals, which we enjoyed very much. Silvia was an enthusiastic ambassador of the area. We highly recommend this tour for both the food and the culture.

5.00The tour was amazing!! All the dishes were explained to us by our great tour guide, Kent. Instead of the tour being completely focused on the food, Kent told us a lot about Singaporean history. I really enjoyed learning about Singapore’s history and future development. There were many interesting and delicious foods were able to try. In addition to that, Kent gave us some recommendations for what to do in other parts of the city. It was a great experience!
