This walking food tour was fantastic. Linda was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about both the food and wider Singapore. Thoroughly enjoyable and very cost effective (circa 50£ sterling). Arrive without breakfast, you won’t go hungry!

What a great experience tasting the best dishes while learning about culture, history, society and the heart of Singapore. The service was also excellent, there were tables available for our group and the stalls were very welcoming, even though they were quite busy with the general public. It was a great experience with some walking involved but perfect to digest your food!
