4.00Our guide Linda was very compassionate and competent in explaining some of the history of Singapore, insights into current living and introduction into hawker food centers and food culture - well worth it!. But to clarify, food stalls are Michelin Guide mentioned, not rated.

5.00Swee Lin was an excellent guide! All the food choices were delicious. I’ve been to Singapore many times and eaten at lots of hawker stands but it was my wife’s first trip here so we thought we’d try this tour. Turned out to be a great decision. Each of the food choices were excellent! The Laksa was awesome, all the noodle dishes, the duck, etc. Swee Lin really knows her food and culture history. She paired the food with the local drinks extremely well. I absolutely recommend the tour.
Great guide and food..

5.00I had the most incredible experience on this Singapore food tour exploring Michelin-rated hawker stalls—it was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The food alone was unforgettable, from perfectly executed local classics to hidden gems I never would have found on my own. What made the experience exceptional, though, was our guide, Linda. She was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Singapore’s food culture. She didn’t just take us from stop to stop—she told the stories behind each dish, the history of the hawker scene, and the significance of these Michelin-recognized spots. Everything was so thoughtfully curated, and the pacing was perfect. I left not only completely satisfied (and very full!) but with a deeper appreciation for Singapore’s rich culinary heritage. If you’re even remotely a foodie, this tour is an absolute must—and if you’re lucky enough to get Linda as your guide, you’re in for something really special.
Big Jon is the Best
