We had a great time on this food tour with YC. He was very friendly, kind and knowledgable and could answers all the questions we had (quite a lot ;-) ). A good mix of food & discovering the district of Chinatown. We tried a lot of new and delicious food we would have never eaten alone. I can recommend this tour for sure!

Excellent food tour

This tour was excellent! The guide Helen was super friendly and knew lots about all the food. I was the only person on the tour but they still ran it for me. I would totally recommend this to everyone!

Eating your way to happiness.

Our guide, Kuo Ai, was friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. The food at all of the locations was great, but be warned there is a lot of it. Come with an empty stomach and don't fill up at the first few locations! This tour is a great way to learn about the history and cuisines of Singapore.

The best way to discover!

No better way to discover Chinatown then to book this Food Tour. What to taste when one is not so familiar with the Hawker centers. Take an empty stomach for you will taste a Chinese breakfast!! as well as many other typical foods. Lots of time to ask all your questions for a lovely stay in town.
