5.00This is an excellent food tour...most of the tastings exceeded our expectations! And we never would have found some of the stops without the help of our outstanding tour guide Ronnie! He is a true guide! Not only did he explain the food...but he provided the history behind the creation and told you about the Chef and the historical changes to the establishment and the neighborhood! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
A great overall tour of 3 must see areas.

5.00We spent a wonderful time with Jeanette on the Hawker tour! Not only did we enjoy many delicacies, we also learned so much about the history, culture, and politics of Singapore!! Jeanette was a wonderful communicator, knowledgeable and eager to share her world with us!! We talked and ate nonstop. Jeanette was very open and easy to talk to, she welcomed questions and provided excellent answers! We were expecting to focus on local cuisine but we got so much more! I highly recommend this tour with Jeanette!

5.00Kelvin did a fantastic job with the Chinatown Food Tasting Tour for us! We learned about the history, culture and food! We tasted so many unique dishes it is hard to capture the feeling in a few words! We went with our kids, both of them are allergic to Peanuts and Tree nuts. Kelvin made sure their allergies were property addressed. Highly recommend this tour.
