5.00Our tour guide, Heng, provided a very informative and engaging tour of the several hawker vendors in Chinatown with a thorough explanation of the dishes that we sampled. The tour was conducted at a very easy pace and we were not at all rushed. He also provided commentary on various other points of interest such as temples, and also provided some history and cultural aspects of Singapore. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and highly recommended.
Heng our guide supplied special headsets ( whisper) very helpful

5.00If you are looking for a premier culinary experience, this Michelin food tour is an absolute must. The food quality was exceptional, offering a sophisticated taste of the local gastronomic scene that lived up to the Michelin standard. Each stop felt curated and high-end, providing a perfect balance of flavor and presentation. What truly elevated the evening, however, was our guide, Jon. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided fantastic context for every dish and location we visited. His expertise turned a great meal into a deep dive into the city's food culture.
Go with an empty belly and a keenness to learn about Singapore
