5.00We had a great time on this tour. The food was incredible and plenty of it and our local guide (Richard) was fantastic, really informative, helpful and funny too!! He connected the group really well and we have come away from the tour with a deep understanding of the food and culture around it. The fact that we visited all the Michelin hotspots and didn't have to queue was a huge bonus!
Swee Lin's the best!

5.00Shawn, our guide, was very charismatic and charming. He shared his knowledge of the food and culture with us all. The little walks between locations was a great chance to take in some sights. Kieran was extremely helpful in going on ahead of us and ordering the food and sorting the tables as the places were very busy! I'd highly recommend the tour as it gives you so many options and ideas for food that you'll never run out of things to try!
Must try
