Heng was a great tour guide. The food choices were very good. He made sure we knew which hawker stalls we ate from, our tables were reserved and our questions were answered. He also helped us stay cool in the shade and AC where possible! Recommend the tour!

This tour was a great way to spend half a day in Singapore. Our tour guide Lim Rui Heng was very informative, professional and friendly. He also went the extra mile, providing extra utensils and special bags to keep the food warm for us. His assistant waited in line and reserved our tables for us ahead of time. The tour was very well thought out and organized with excellent attention to detail and our comfort in mind. We all learned a lot and ate a lot of tasty local food.
Best mix of hits and local cuisine

Incredible tour. YC Was incredible explaining everything and doing a brief history tour as well. We hit all the best spots that we would usually have to wait in long lines but the food was waiting for us with help of amazing Kiren! Usually good tours seem tourist but this was truly best mix of local and hype spots. Can’t wait to do the night tour
