The Hawker food tour was wonderful. Richard, our tour guide was exceptional. He was interesting, knowledgeable and very enjoyable. The whole tour was well organized . Support people were sent ahead to secure tables and get food, which eliminated waiting times. The whole program flowed beautifully . Thank you Ricard and Monster tours for a delicious experience.

We had a great food tour with Rui Heng! It was a small group- only 5 of us so it felt very personal. This tour really stood out from other food tours in that an assistant went ahead of the group to each Hawker market. She reserved us a table and already ordered food so there was no waiting in lines at each busy market. We would recommend this tour!
Lots of new flavours with a great guide
