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.

Fun, Tasty & Informative

5.00It was very fun & informative. I am vegan, and we went to two places that didn't have any vegan options. Even though I was very full by the end of the tour, it would have been good to know to be prepared for the food stops that don't have vegan options and to have the option to get a beverage instead. Otherwise, everything was very good. By the end of the tour, I was so full from all of the good food. It was worth the wait. Our tour guide Ping (not Pong) was very fun to be with. We really enjoyed ourselves with her. Highly recommend this tour company.

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Regina yesterday on our Heritage and Food Tour. We toured the Arab District and Chinatown and many other heritage spots we’d never find on our own. She was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our half day. Highly recommend!

Great way to navigate Singapore

5.00The tour was a great way to start a weekend in Singapore, we arrived just hours before the tour and after this we were able to navigate the city a lot better on our own. Hidden gems mixed with personal stories and a lot of insight and recommendations from a locals perspective gave us more then we came for given the time spent on the tour. The food was amazing and the food market in the final stop ended up to be our all time favorite in Singapore. Our guide Heng was an amazing guy, funny, easy going, incredible storyteller and a foodie of high caliber. I would recomend this tour to anyone completey new to Singapore and wants to navigate the roads not much traveled, try the local food and get some local history in the blend as well.
