Our family had a great time with Kang! He is very knowledgeable about the past and stories of Singapore and loves to share his knowledge. Kang was really thoughtful and flexibly adapted the tour for my children, finding interesting activities for them and making sure they were comfortable in the hot, humid weather. The places we visited on the tour were really interesting and I wouldn’t have found them by myself. And the tips on where to have lunch and what local specialties to try were awesome! Go with Kang, he is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable person who will look after you!

I recently took part in a walking tour of Singapore and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. Our guide Jack was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly, making the history and culture of the city come alive at every stop. From the bustling streets of Chinatown to the serene gardens of the Colonial District, each location had its own fascinating story, which the guide explained with clarity and enthusiasm. One of the highlights was learning about Singapore’s multicultural heritage and how the city has evolved over the years. The guide also shared insider tips on local food stalls and hidden gems, which made the experience feel personal and unique.Excellent Walking Tour in Singapore!

Stephan was a really good guide , had good knowledge and history of the area. As far as a foodie tour , yes we tried a number of foods of different cultures however we felt we could have tasted these foods at random ourselves. For the price we felt it was not good value. Foodie trip

I’d recommend doing this tour with Jon in the morning and early on in your time in Singapore: 1.its cooler 2. Jon takes you a number of places so great way to get your bearings 3. Jon explains how to use the MRT and get around and suggests other places to visit 4. You won’t need lunch lol Loved hearing all the cultural and historical insights form Jon so way more than just a food tour a real locals insight. The food tour ticked all our boxes of getting toa number of different hawker markets whilst removing all the guess work of where to go, how to get there, what to order and how to order it and associated etiquette as unsurprisingly in Singapore there are lots of rules for the unwary Jon was also just a really nice bloke. This was a treat for my wife’s birthday and as if by magic a sparkling candle appeared at our last stop Thanks Jon - we had a blastQuite literally a full morning

Here's a possible review for a food tour in Chinatown, Singapore: *5/5 stars* "I recently joined the food tour in Chinatown, Singapore, and it was an absolute culinary delight! Our guide, Marcus was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the food and culture. We visited several iconic eateries and street food stalls, sampling a variety of dishes that showcased the rich flavors and diversity of Singaporean cuisine. The tour was well-organized, and the portions were just right, so we could try a little bit of everything without feeling overwhelmed. The guide also shared fascinating stories about the history and cultural significance of each dish, which added depth and context to our culinary experience. And of course his inside knowledge of Buddhisme. What impressed me most was the connections, which allowed us to access some hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path eateries that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Overall, I highly recommend this food tour to anyone looking to explore the flavors and culture of Singapore's Chinatown. It's a fantastic way to experience the city's vibrant food scene and make unforgettable memories. *Recommended for:* Foodies, culture enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique and immersive culinary experience.Great personal tour

Marcus was a fantastic guide, who provided an experience that was so much more than a food tour. He was very engaging, and highly knowledgeable about the food and the history of Singapore. We were given more food and drink than we could eat, and such a variety. Cannot recommend Marcus highly enough.Fantastic tour and guide

We have just spent a wonderful afternoon being shown around various locations and tasting some wonderful food along the way (don't eat before you go !!!). Marcus was a fantastic host and really knows his stuff! We learnt so much about the history and culture of Singapore which we would never have done just wandering around ourselves. It also gave us a good grounding of where everything is so will be able to go back to the places again. Marcus was very considerate - making sure we were in the shade when we stopped, supplying us with drinks to keep us hydrated and tickets for the MRT. All in all a fantastic day - thank you Marcus!!! Fabulous food tasting day with Marcus

The route and stops are cool, with good places to visit and food that was at least interesting, if not always to my taste. The value was challenging tho with three of us sharing some quite tiny plates of food. The guide - Hundred - was a very strange man. Mildly offensive at times with his 'jokes', not fit enough to walk the route, keen to tout random trinket stores on the way, and he managed to allow the group - there were three of us - to get split up on the train system, which I reckon is a easy fail for guiding. I'll certainly never forget the tour tho! Good tour, get a different guide.The guide was like a weird uncle

We recently had the pleasure of exploring Singapore with Arthur - "Hundred" from Withlocals, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the onset, Arthur’s passion for his city and its diverse cultures shone through. He shared fascinating stories and history that were not only engaging, but factually accurate, bringing every neighbourhood we visited to life. Arthur introduced us to a range of quirky, authentic experiences along the way, always tailoring the pace and activities to what we enjoyed most. His attention to detail, kindness, and deep knowledge made this much more than a tour—it was a truly personalized adventure. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to experience the heart and soul of Singapore, truly!Unforgettable Singapore Tour with Arthur

We began this experience by using WhatsApp to correspond with Arthur and tailor a tour based on exactly what we wanted to see during our short time in Singapore. He was incredibly accommodating and open to all suggestions! We ended up doing the Chinatown Hawker Stalls (Arthur being lovely enough to take us to one of the Michelin stalls (as requested) in addition to a few others) in addition to Garden by the Bay, Marina Sands, and the Merlion. Arthur was conscious of the weather and impending rain when he took us to the places requested; he attempted to keep us out of the rain and heat which was nice! He even took pictures of us throughout the tour as well and sent some via WhatsApp after! Finally, he provided some history and facts sprinkled in and was lovely throughout! I would highly recommend scheduling a tour with him!!! He made our experience in Singapore a memorable one!Amazing tour with Arthur!

The first thing Arthur did was ask us about what we were planning on our visit so that he would not overlap with the food tour we had planned. The Dim Sum lunch he orchestrated at Gardens by the Bay was outstanding. We then toured Marina Bay Sands and he knew all the tricks to see the best and avoid the crowds. Very intelligent, insightful discussion on Singapore history and demographics. Arthur made it special.Singapore in a Day

Arthur is a fantastic tourguide. He was very knowladgable, enthusiastic and attentive to our needs. The tour was prolonged to 5 hours so the experience was even more in-depth than we anticipated! The itinerary was diverse, it included Little India, China Town and the Muslim/Arab Quarter. We were contacted by Arthur immediately after signing up, he explained about the tour and checked for any allergies or preferences. He made many recommendations for our time in Singapore, beyond the tour, which were very appreciated! I would highly recommend Arthur and his tours!Fantastic Tour Guide

We had a 7 hour layover in Singapore on our way back to San Francisco. We chose the 1.5 hour tour because we wanted to get back to the airport on time although on a Sunday it was a quick taxi ride there and back. Stefan was our tour guide and he took us around some of the buildings in downtown while giving us history about Singapore and its path to independence. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture and history of the buildings we sa. Stefan was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Quick Singapore Walk

I don't think it would be possible to find a more engaging culture/food guide than Arthur. His love for his country and the food delights it has to offer could never be doubted. It was a great pleasure to listen to his stories about Singapore and then taste his recommendations for food and drink preference. Masterclass.

We were very excited to learn about Hawker food and try things we wouldn’t normally order. 3 of us recently moved to SG and we had one visitor. Marcus was friendly and gave us a lot of SG history but we wanted to focus on food. I did like that we started at a more local hawker however 3 of the 5 tastings were dumplings. Next we had fruit as a tasting and finally we had satay at Lau Pa Sat. Our tour abruptly ended 30 minutes early after the satay was dropped off. We had questions to ask and we had hoped to at least walk through the hawker. We didn’t talk about any local dishes. For the price of the tour it was not worth it at all. My visitor and I ended up reading a few blogs and went back and just tried food on our own. I originally booked with a different guide and it was changed last minute. There was a lack of communication between the guides and I should have been clear about what we wanted to focus on. Disappointing for a food tour

This included Arab quarter, Little India and finally Chinatown. It was such a fun day. Thank you Arthur, it was fab and we learned a lot! Sensational Arthur!

A bit disappointed with this trip. Stefan was pleasant but only provided information when asked and didn’t try to connect with us. Had 3 dishes at a Hawker centre which were great, only got very limited info when prompted and then a quick dash to Gardens at the Bay for the lightshow. Stefan didn’t appear to notice that we were lagging behind. We were meant to have further snacks at satay at the bay but they had stopped serving (which seemed to surprise Stefan) so could only have a couple of drinks and some spring rolls ( nice but we can get them at home!) that we paid for. This wasn’t the experience that we hoped for. We said we were tired and would like to get a taxi/grab back to our hotel but Stefan wanted us to go to the MRT and get a taxi at Orchard. It didn’t feel like our needs were taken into account. Hmmm
