We really enjoyed our tour with Grayson. We only had 36 hours in Singapore and got to see more of it than we ever would have on our own. The 3 areas we went to were fantastic and the history of Singapore was so interesting to hear. The food was great and again, we wouldn't have tasted these on our own. Many thanks.A lovely lunch out

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

Our family of 4 from Brisbane with 2 teenagers spent a wonderful afternoon with William. He went above and beyond to look after us (keeping us hydrated and as cool as possible), provide us with the most amazing food experiences Singapore has to offer and overall, just so friendly and sweet. He gave us a real insight into life in Singapore, how the different cultures work together, lessons on how to order at Hawker markets and use the MRT network. We could not have asked for a kinder, friendlier guide to welcome us to Singapore. And considering we only had a few days to explore the island, we felt like he fitted at least 2 days of experiences into one afternoon. It was the highlight of our brief holiday and I have already recommended William to many friends back home in Australia.Best personal family tour

I had a fantastic experience touring the hawker centers with William! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable—not only about the food but also about the cultural and historical background of each spot we visited. He introduced me to a variety of delicious dishes I wouldn’t have known to try on my own, and his enthusiasm made the whole tour feel like I was exploring with a local friend. Highly recommend William to anyone looking to get an authentic and insightful taste of the local food scene!William was Amazing

Grayson was very attentive, professional, and shared lots of information points throughout our tour. He promptly guided us to many different food areas and we sampled Indian, Malaysian, and Chinese dishes. There is a bit of walking involved, so I would recommend bringing a fan and/or an umbrella to cool down. All of the places we stopped to eat at did not have aircon, so just be prepared for the hot weather. Grayson noticed we were thirsty and led us to a nearby 7-11 to hydrate, as well. Grayson also went into more detail about the history of each area we visited and answered all of our many questions about housing, daily life, and more in Singapore. I would definitely recommend this tour with Grayson for anyone looking for an insider view of the city. And to enjoy a variety of delicious treats!Great food with Grayson!

(About local William)

As for William, I can only say good things. He is an extremely pleasant and polite person. Everything is perfectly organized. He is also very considerate, and you decide how much you want to interact with him — if you ask questions, he will answer in great detail, and if you prefer less interaction, he respects that space, which is something we truly appreciated. Regarding the tour itself, we chose not to make any changes to the itinerary and instead followed what he had planned for us. That way, we could try new things — experiences we wouldn’t have tried on our own. In Chinatown, we went straight to try a Michelin-starred chicken rice stall. There was a long line, but it was worth it — the food was delicious. Then we went to Little India. There, we had a simpler but very interesting experience with new flavors — dishes that were quite different from the Indian food we’ve had in Europe. Very interesting. Perhaps the weakest and most disappointing stop was the Malay food. The dishes were very basic and lacked culinary value, especially compared to the previous two places. All in all, we were happy to have taken the tour. It allowed us to do things we wouldn’t normally do if we were traveling on our own. We were also very glad we chose William — a guy who’s truly worth meeting.Nice Tour

We had an incredible time exploring Singapore’s hawker food culture with William as our guide. He took us to a variety of hawker centres and introduced us to around nine different local dishes—everything from savory to sweet, each one delicious and unique. It was a true culinary journey. William was impressively knowledgeable about the food, its history, and the cultural context behind each dish. He patiently and enthusiastically answered all of our questions, which made the experience educational as well as tasty. The only thing that would have made the evening even better is if William had sat and chatted with us while we ate—his company and insights were so enjoyable, and it would have been nice to continue the conversation during the meal. All in all, this was a fantastic and authentic way to experience Singapore’s food scene, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!Authentic Food Adventure

Chingmeng provided a great tour. This exceeded our expectations. Not only did we get lots of amazing food and drink, he provided us with a lot of history and background information and answered our questions. The walk between stops was just as valuable as the food stops as we visited places we probably wouldn't have ourselves. Some previous reviews did note a lack of food stops. We disagreed; while there were only three stops, there was plenty of food at each, and we were very full by the end of it. Chingmeng was very responsive to our needs - e.g. avoiding getting wet in torrential rain and ensuring we knew how to get back to our hotel after the tour. Would highly recommend.Great food tour

Our group of four from Melbourne Australia spent a wonderful three hours with William on our “food tour with locals.” We first visited the a hawker centre in China Town, where we enjoyed delicious food, including some Michelin Star Hainanese chicken rice (soooo yummy), then on to another hawker centre at Little India for some more tasty surprises, and finally to Kampong Glam to try some Malaysian food. Everything was wonderful - it was great to try some food that we wouldn’t normally order for ourselves. William was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable. He shared lots of interesting information during the tour and looked after us very, very well. Thank you William, we loved our food tour, and we went back to our motel with full bellies and big smiles!A fun and delicious food tour with William
