Great foodie tour

Alice_M, Apr 2023

Excellent tour. Guide was knowledgeable. Food was awesome. Everyone enjoyed it immensely and would not hesitate to repeat this one !

Exceptional value, fantastic food and tour

Margaret_N, Feb 2023

Well organised ( no waiting for table, food brought to us), excellent use of time, great commentary, fabulous food. We were a group of 6 and Marcus and Javier were fantastic guides/hosts. We would not have known which stalls to choose, nor known the streets and highlights. Highly recommended,

Highly Recomend

We had a fabulous time with our guide Colin. Yes you can wander around yourself but you won’t go to the places you go on the tour and you won’t learn as much as you would on the tour. Superb experience and would highly recommend .

Perfect Tour, Perfect Guide

Yap was a great tour guide, going above and beyond. He has a genuine love for the culture and it showed with his tour. The highlight of our short trip to Singapore. Yap is very knowledgeable of the Chinese culture and our tour of China Town and the Hawker food centers was great. All of the food provided was excellent. We were grateful that it turned out to be a private tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or guide.

Great Tour!

Dani was a wonderful tour guide. We Tasted 3 different foods 1 dessert and a couple of drinks. Tour was very informative and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dani!

Ask for Dani

Diana D, July 2019

Dani (Widarni) was a wonderful guide to the world of Hawker food. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, funny, Dani made the tour a fun and informative treat. She answered all our questions, whether about food or history or modern Singapore. At the end she showed us how to use the subway.

Full Bellies

Audrey_S, July 2019

We had a great few hours wandering through Chinatown. Colin filled our bellies with delicious food & our heads with local knowledge. We tried local cuisine that we wouldn't have tried on our own. Thank you Colin!

Great food, fabulous guide!

Sonya_W, July 2019

This tour was amazing! Not only did we get to eat the cheapest Michelin Star dish in the world (which was delicious) but we also got to try other local food dishes in different hawker centres that we would not have found ourselves. We then used the knowledge gained on this tour to eat for the rest of our 12 day stay in Singapore. Our guide Dani was also awesome. Very highly recommended! Thank you.

A Perfect Foot Tour through Chinatown and it's Gastric Delights

We were led on a great tour through Chinatown by our very capable guide Yap. We began with an education regarding Singaporean coffee and how to order the various varieties. As we enjoyed our coffees, we were also treated to Kaya toast and pan dan sponge cake. We continued on our tour through China Town learning about the history and wandering through the market place as well. We had Michelin Star Chicken and Rice and numerous other "bites" as we worked our way along. Our final treat was a unique ice cream sandwich made with a slice of cake folded around a slice of ice cream. Yap then walked us to the subway and educated each of us how to take the appropriate subway to our specific hotels. So, we even got to sample the Singapore's wonderful subway system!!!

Das war ein FLOP !

Die Tour hat für uns NICHT stattgefunden ! Treffpunkt und Guide wurden kurzfristig geändert. Während wir am ursprünglich vereinbarten Treffpunkt warteten, hatte es der Guide nicht für nötig gehalten, uns vom direkt in der Nähe liegenden Treffpunkt abzuholen. Wir sprechen von derselben U-Bahn Station Chinatown. Wir am Ausgang A, Guide angeblich Ausgang E. Die Station ist nicht sehr groß ! Ich habe dies bereits in einer Mitteilung an Sie am 3.1. mittags reklamiert und um eine vollständige Erstattung gebeten. Von Viator bislang KEINE Reaktion ! Wenn ich in den nächsten Tagen nichts von Ihnen höre, werde ich mich anderweitig äußern.
