Swee Lin was an amazing and engaging guide. We were absolutely stuffed with delicious food and drinks by the end and we learned interesting history along the way. We sampled multiple dishes/drinks at each hawker center and the walks between hawker centers were split up with smaller stops along the way. The food was waiting for us at each stop so we never had to queue up. It’s a very low-stress way to experience multiple hawker stalls. The directions to the starting point were clear and easy to follow. We arrived ready to eat but had lots of history before we got to the first stop (maybe 30 mins into the tour). An opportunity to use the bathroom at the first stop would also have been helpful. Overall I highly recommend!
Great hawker food store experience.

Informative guide and delicious food samples. There were 10 to 12 tastings- more than enough to fill us up. We also tried drinks and fruits.

Marcus and Meghan were wonderful!! We deliberately did this tour on our first morning this time to familiarise ourselves with the great hawker centres food. Was the best tour of Singapore we have ever done. Marcus has 20 years experience on this tour, so all the best hawkers knows him. He has insights that no one else could have.
Great experience
