5.00Hits all the highlights - 3 types of chicken rice, Kaya toast, laksa, etc. highly recommend! It’s so nice to have a knowledgeable guide (Big Jon!) escort us, order ahead and provide historical context to all the places we visited. Also, Megan goes ahead and reserves table space for the entire group. Makes visiting the hawker centers less intimidating! Remember to pace yourself! It’s a ton of excellent food.
Fantastic Tour!!

5.00This tour was amazing!!! The description does not even begin to describe the experience you will have. Marcus was an amazingly engaging and informed guide who provided extensive insight into the history and culture of Singapore. Megan was his backbone who ensured that everything was set up in advance and our experience was seamless. I cannot recommend this tour with this team enough. You will not be disappointed!

4.00I liked the tour but I can’t eat spicy foods. I think it would be good if he has an alternative non spicy food for every spicy food in the tour menu.

This is a a Michelin starred Hawker tour so be ready for the true Hawker experience - no AirCon but the food was unforgettable.
