Discover Singapore’s vibrant flavours and cultural stories on this Private Food, Culture & Heritage Tour. The 4-hour tour gives you the essentials: two heritage districts, delicious food tastings, and a relaxed exploration of the city centre, all paced comfortably for a rich, memorable introduction to the city.
Your journey begins in Chinatown before continuing into either Little India or Kampong Glam, each offering its own personality through spices, street art and local snacks like savoury Thosai or traditional pastries. The experience ends with the Singapore City Highlights, where Marina Bay, the riverfront and historic bridges reveal how Singapore evolved into the modern metropolis you see today.

What To Expect
Kreta Ayer Square
There is no one face that fits all Singaporeans. Racial diversity is the essence of being a Singaporean. Discover, through architecture, heritage and culture, how the local lives, where local eats, what locals do; with the assimilation of olden days trades and modern times occupations. The Tour starts off by an Introduction of why and how our Ethnic Quarters were formed, and what were the changes over the years. The first stop would be at Chinatown we showcase the Chinese culture, a brief introduction to the history of the area. Expect heart wrenching stories of labourers and vices of life.
Chinatown
Learn about the square and its surrounding, including visiting Chinatown Complex with its popular hawker centre and wet market.

5.00We had a great walking tour with Jon. He was very knowledgeable and tailored our tour to our interests. He showed us how to use the MRT (subway) that was very helpful for the rest of our time in Singapore. Highly recommend!
Much more than a food tour and a wonderful guide.

5.00Ping was our guide for about 3 hours. There were 12 of us—four from the US and the rest from Germany, the UK, Australia and Kuwait. We had made new friends by the end of the tour because Ping fostered that sense of connectivity. We shared small meals together but she also shared her knowledge of this city and country and answered any questions we had without hesitation. So, this wasn’t just about being fed. It was about understanding the country. This is a really good company with excellent, dedicated employees. We had fun and deepened our knowledge of the culture. It was money very well spent.
