Great food with best guide

5.00The tour was just great! It was a wonderful experience! At the meeting point with our guide Vidhya, we realized that we were the only two participants. That was very special, of course. Vidhya was a super guide, she not only provided us with the most delicious food, but gave us a lot of information culture and history of Singapore, and in a very pleasant and entertaining way, we enjoyed the afternoon very much and would do this tour again anytime should we travel to Singapore again
Our guide was Sylvia who gave us many dishes to sample together with facts about Singapore.

5.00We had a private tour with Sylvia, so there was just the three of us. A nice change from a group. Sylvia has an extensive knowledge of Singapore history and food. We sampled over 10 different dishes. We skipped our evening meal that day because we were stuffed. This was the best foodie tour my wife and I have ever experienced on our travels. Thank you, Sylvia.
A great Food tour with locals
