Leider war die Tour das Geld nicht wert. Jack's Englisch war für uns (obwohl wir gut Englisch sprechen) kaum oder nur sehr schwer zu verstehen. War aber nicht schlimm, weil Jack uns im Grunde nichts erzählte. Wir marschierte vorweg, wir versuchten ihm mühsam im Gedränge von Chinatown zu folgen. Neue Information erhielten wir kaum, auf Fragen ging er kaum ein. Außerdem bot er uns nach kurzer Zeit an, die Tour zu beenden, weil am Vortag des chinesischen Neujahrsfestes in ChinaTown ohnehin alles geschlossen wäre (und - wo unsere Vermutung - er selbst lieber zurück nach Hause wollte). Warum bestätigt er diese Tour an diesem Abend, wenn das ein ungeeignetes Datum ist? Statt dessen überreichte uns zwei (ohnehin kostenlose) Tickets für eine öffentliche Veranstaltung in den Gardens by the Bay. Zu der Veranstaltung konnte er uns wenig sagen. Wegen seiner schlechten Zeitplanung konnten wir dorthin nur noch mit dem Taxi fahren. In Summe die schlechteste Tour ever mit einem unseres Erachtens ungeeigneten Guide - trotz seines offiziellen Tour Guide Zertifikats.Mega-Flop

The guide Ronnie was nice and knowledgeable about the tour but it was not what we expected. There was also a lot walking involved which was not mentioned in the description of the tour! We would not have taken the tour had we known that beforehand. This was in food tour category but was lacking in food. Beverages were only non alcoholic and no other options. Tour description said non alcoholic was available not that it was the only option. If classed as a walking tour Ronnie was very good at his knowledge and was an enjoyable person to interact with. This tour was way over priced for what we received.Decsription of tour not what we exprcted

Grayson's tour was a very positive experience for us. Even though we had another Singapore tour earlier that day, Grayson gave us a more complete picture of the Singapore culture. While the tour was a food/drink tour, i think it focused as much on explaining the local culture, history, and customs. The only drawback on the tour is that there was a great deal of walking through areas that weren't of much interest. All in all, I would highly recommend Grayson's ability to communicate clearly and knowledgeably.Very knowledgeable guide.

We wanted to understand local food in Singapore; pictures of food in hawker markets doesn’t help in knowing what they actually are made of. So Grayson gave us a walking tour of a local (non tourist) area, we learned about social housing, why markets always have Malay, Peranakan, Chinese and Indian options and that eating out can be cheap, tasty and fun.Local colour, local food.

Sadly, our tour started in a market that was closed, he found one stall open and started listing off vegetables that were there. He took us to a closed museum after we ate a few chicken skewers and then we walked through a community that he knew absolutely no one in. A sample of the 10 local cuisines were deep friend bananas, a cold deep fried pie, soup, a drink, a curry with a slice of potatoes in it, a jelly coconut ball and my husband I were not even given our own dishes, we had to share what was ordered.... even the tiny piece of potato. Our guide was nice enough, but truly, I want a refund. Don't waste your money

I visited Singapore by myself for a short weekend trip and found myself at a loss regarding what to do on my second evening there. Leo was available at short notice for an evening food tour and so I took my chance and made a booking. I was not disappointed. Leo is a very polite and knowledgeable host who went out of his way to make my tour the best for me. He took into account what I would find interesting and took me to a great variety of food stalls and small shops which worked perfectly for me. As a single woman travelling on my own, I felt perfectly comfortable and at ease at all times and Leo even made sure I would find my way back safely. He is very knowledgable and didn't grow tired of my many questions about Singapore and its food culture. Leo's tour definitely made my trip great!Leo is a fantastic host

HJ gave us a wonderful introduction to many of the signature foods that Singapore has to offer. In addition to selecting dishes for us to try, HJ gave background information about each item and the culture behind it. Moreover, between eating destinations we saw many sites and were given detailed information about the neighborhoods, cultures, and city more generally. The quality and variety of food was great, and we finished the tour feeling very full. HJ was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and we would recommend him to others considering this tour. Excellent food tour and more!

Doing the food tour with Monica went better than I had expected. We felt like we got the "true local" tour with her. We went to places we never would have known about as tourists, ate foods and learned about their history, and also learned so much about Singaporean and Peranakan culture. We felt like we packed so much in our 3 night trip thanks to Monica. She even gave us great recs of places to visit beyond her tour which was so nice. She is very friendly and easy going. We highly recommend her for any tour!We learned (and ate) so much

My husband and I were in Singapore for 36 hours on a long layover and booked this tour with Ronnie before we left on our trip. Ronnie was very communicative and kept in touch with us before we left the states and right when we arrived in Singapore. Ronnie is full of knowledge, super funny, and took the best photos of us on our tour. The tour included amazing Instagram photo opps! We walked a lot, and Ronnie gave us so much cultural, historical, and social information that really blew us away! We ate a variety of very interesting and delicious food and Ronnie had us eating a bit, and walking in between tastes. A little bit of shopping time was included and my husband bought a very cool shirt in an affordable market. Ronnie does other tours too and I wish we had enough time to stay and have him show us around more of the city. We highly recommend Ronnie and his excellence in creating an unforgettable experience for us. We cannot wait to come back and see Singapore with Ronnie again!Unforgettable and a Must Do in Singapore!

My husband and me were so lucky to having a private tour with Leo. Leo proved to be a very charming knowledgeable passionate guide, who was very generous with sharing his knowledge. And we learned about the history of the one or other European dish as well: the pastry for the miners 😎. The evening started with delicious roti with curry, the pie and fried bananas, eaten in an neighborhood stall. Excellent. But the good stuff kept coming. It was wonderful to getting to know more about the tremendous variety of the Singapore ‚fusion‘ cuisine! But one of the highlights was for sure the outstanding seafood laksa with the very richly flavoured fishcake. Not only for this one we‘ll retrace our steps. The evening went by in a breeze and Leo graciously spent a good amount of ‚overtime‘ with us and took even the pain to join the bus ride to bring us back safely to our hotel! What a treat, be sure not to miss a oppressive for such an evening with Leo. Many thanks, Ute and HelmutWhat a wonderful evening food tour with Leo

Ronnie truly gave us an unforgettable experience of Singapore, not just the famous sights and stories, but also hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. His deep knowledge and sharp sense of humor made this day of sightseeing an absolute highlight. We were a group of 23 university students on a study trip, and Ronnie went above and beyond by organizing a private bus for us. The tour was the perfect blend of cultural and historical insights, mixed with entertaining facts and anecdotes; exactly what we were hoping for. Everything was smooth, stress-free, and exceptionally well-organized. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and thoroughly engaged. For many of us, this was the best city tour we’ve ever experienced. If you’re planning a visit to Singapore, I wholeheartedly recommend booking your sightseeing tour with Ronnie. You won’t regret it!Unforgettable Singapore tour!

Leo was a fantastic guide who blending humor, history and sharing a genuine pride of Singapore. The tour pivoted slightly from a focus on Chinatown and we are so glad it did! Leo first asked - prior to tour - if we would be comfortable expanding beyond Chinatown and our time availability. We followed his lead and were treated to more of the city to include Chinatown, a rooftop view, hawker recommendations, a lobby/letter writing visit at the Fullerton for our kids… Leo was wonderful and so happy we explored the city with him. Wonderful tour and insight!

I had asked William to put together a tour including history, food and culture for our group of 7 - including 2 who had never been to Singapore. We all learnt a lot during our morning with him - he is engaging and charming and imparts facts and history in an easily grasped manner. We visited all of the locations I had asked for - the brief had been for a very general 'overview' of Singapore and its history, culture and food in a morning and William aced it - everyone loved it and we all left with new tastes, knowledge and information. Thank you William, we loved our time with you.Knowledgeable, fun and entertaining

If we could give Grayson more than 10/10, we would. The food tour exceeded our expectations and we really enjoyed our morning with Grayson. He is a very pleasant unassuming man with a relaxed but professional personal style. Although, this tour has a focus on Singapore food, we learnt so much about life in Singapore, the cultures, and lots more. We really appreciated that he was happy to answer our questions. Susan has a hearing loss and really appreciated that Grayson was happy to use her remote microphone which fed his voice through to her hearing aids. This made it much easier for her. Thank you so very much Grayson. This tour with you was one of the best things we have done in Singapore. By the way, we really enjoyed the food tastings and the different environments that we visited to experience them.Exceeded 10/10

A big thank you to Grayson - he was organized, insightful, and engaging. We tried 10 different intriguing foods that you might not find in the guidebook. We walked through Arab Street, the Malay section and took the MRT to Chinatown. Along the way, Grayson gave us context for the food that we tasted along with the history of its introduction. As we walked, he gave us insights into Singaporean culture and politics that added to the experience. We were impressed by his depth of knowledge and appreciated him sharing his life experience. I would give him a 10 out of 10 and would recommend this to anyone visiting Singapore, ideally you might do it on your first day as Grayson was also full of suggestions that were very useful. Thank you! More than just food - insight into culture

From the moment we met HJ, we knew we were in for an adventure! He led us on a path to one of the Hawker Center’s detailing the history and culture of the area. At our first stop, he opened up his backpack to pull out water bottles and tissues before hurrying off to get our first tastes. He came back with plates of food to sample. Before we took a bite, he took a group pic (at the end of the day, he sent us all the photos he took with the dishes labeled). Next we went upstairs where he showed us around the “wellness” stalls and then the local garment stalls. Our next stop was the lower level for the fresh food stalls. He pointed out the various fresh fish, the buckets of live eels and giant prawns! We stopped at a fruit stand where he described the Asian fruits. When we told him we had never tried a mangosteen, he purchased a few and showed us how to get to the edible fruit center. We were skeptical but his enthusiasm encouraged us to try it. HJ was correct - we all loved it! As we walked to another market, he pointed out the public art and the historical buildings. The next food stop included MANY more dishes to sample and then dessert! After we couldn’t eat any more, HJ led us through the streets pointing out even more local history and art. We ended up on the rooftop of an apartment complex with views of Singapore and Malaysia & Indonesia in the distance. We thought our tour would simply be a sampling of tastes from the Hawker Center, but it was so much more!! Tour with HJ and you will have a great taste of Singapore.Fabulous tour of Singapore sights & tastes

Where do I begin? It was excellent! Being a solo traveler I like having tour guides and Leo is one of my top 5 memorable guides of all time. He met me at my hotel (very kind of him and convenient for me) and had a loaded metro card ready for me to use. We used the clean and air conditioned underground train and walked for our tour. He knows the Downtown Core like the back of his hand and shared all the past, present and future facts of Singapore with me. He is extremely knowledgeable and enjoys questions. He taught me about their judicial government, Chinese history, educational system, food, religion and even Formula 1 (I’m a big fan). His way of sharing all this information was interesting, personal and timed to perfection so that when we discussed a topic, we were literally standing in that spot. I don’t think there are many places in the world where a tour like this one can exist. Leo and I had a fabulous day together and I was sad for it to end. He gave me valuable information to continue my day and evening. I highly recommend this tour and definitely with Leo. By the way, my metro card still had money left on it so I gave it to a worker at my hotel. It’s good to pay it forward.Amazng day with Leo!

Monica picked me up at the hotel and showed me a side of Singapore that many tourists don’t see from the singing birds to the original village and local shopping areas. She was so considerate and aware of how hot it was for me that we popped into air conditioned places. So interesting to hear her personal life. A non tourist experience
