Stephanie was a lovely guide. We were shown interesting and side streets. My teenage daughters enjoyed her recommendations for shopping and she had plenty of suggestions for places to eat. Would recommend for sure.

We really enjoyed our food tour with Richard. If you want to learn about Singapore’s history and try food from all the different cultures that come together in this beautiful country, this tour is definitely for you! We tried a variety of things we would’ve never tried or found without Richard’s help and also really enjoyed the company of the other guests that joined the tour. Overall a great experience that no foodie should miss.
