Leider war die Tour das Geld nicht wert.
Jack's Englisch war fΓΌr uns (obwohl wir gut Englisch sprechen) kaum oder nur sehr schwer zu verstehen. War aber nicht schlimm, weil Jack uns im Grunde nichts erzΓ€hlte. Wir marschierte vorweg, wir versuchten ihm mΓΌhsam im GedrΓ€nge von Chinatown zu folgen. Neue Information erhielten wir kaum, auf Fragen ging er kaum ein. AuΓerdem bot er uns nach kurzer Zeit an, die Tour zu beenden, weil am Vortag des chinesischen Neujahrsfestes in ChinaTown ohnehin alles geschlossen wΓ€re (und - wo unsere Vermutung - er selbst lieber zurΓΌck nach Hause wollte). Warum bestΓ€tigt er diese Tour an diesem Abend, wenn das ein ungeeignetes Datum ist? Statt dessen ΓΌberreichte uns zwei (ohnehin kostenlose) Tickets fΓΌr eine ΓΆffentliche 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

She provided some great suggestions for things to do during the rest of our stay. She was generous with her time. Thanks very much Monica. Monica was thoughtful & knowledgeable

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 enjoyed the food tour a lot. Monica took great care of us, showed us many local places, explained a lot and gave helpful insider tips. We got a lot to eat on the way :-). Great tour with a great guide

We wanted to understand local food in Singapore; pictures of food in hawker markets doesnβt 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

Leo was one of the best guides that we have ever had. He customized the tour according to our tastes but also keeping in mind that we wanted to get the best of the local culture. Along with food tasting, he talked a lot about the history and culture of the country while taking us through the neighborhoods which the kids enjoyed and learned quite a bit during the tour.

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!

It was a funny and a very fascinated trip with monica. Was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for this food tour! So funny and nice trip!
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 π.
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 βfusionβ cuisine!
But one of the highlights was for sure the outstanding seafood laksa with the very richly flavoured fishcake. Not only for this one weβll retrace our steps.
The evening went by in a breeze and Leo graciously spent a good amount of βovertimeβ 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

A bit disappointed with this trip. Stefan was pleasant but only provided information when asked and didnβt 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 didnβt 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 wasnβt 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 didnβt feel like our needs were taken into account. Hmmm

very helpful to learn about how everyday and ordinary people outside of the usual tourist trap lead their lives. Must be done in addition to the Marina bay sands and other traditional tourist spots. Using buses to get around ordinary neighborhoods and hawker establishments is a much better way of experiencing the average citizen life. Only a local can give you the honest truth.

I had a short stopover in Singapore and planned to do a Big Bus Tour, but a friend recommended a more personalised tour. Tricia was my tour guide. She has a great personality and so much knowledge to share. It was like taking a walk through time. Tricia's stories provided historical context while making connections to the present day. She was able to answer all of my questions and took me to little places that would definitely have been missed in a large tour. I wish I had more time with her. There's so much to see and do in Singapore. I highly recommend this tour!The BEST Way to Tour Singapore!

We met with HJ and he was so cool! He took such good care of us. Making sure to walk in the shade and in and out of the ACβs when possible. He is the ultimate local guide that took us through alleys and local spots that only a local would be able to show us.
HJ provided a fantastic overview of Singapore's diverse culture and iconic landmarks. He led us through a well-paced itinerary, including the National Gallery, The Merlion, Chinatown, The Haji Lane and Arab Quarter, stunning views of the city and fantastic architecture.
The included food tastings showcased authentic local flavors β yummy chicken rice from the oldest Chinatown Hawker center. The transportation was the bus and the metro - so cool! We highly recommend this tour with HJ for anyone seeking a comprehensive introduction to Singapore. Thank you HJ!!!

The food was great, the portions generous, and we enjoyed tasting new dishes we probably would not have ordered on our own. We were also lucky enough to visit with the oldest Loin Dance group in Singapore, tour the Chinese Opera museum, and get a magnificent city view from a nearby roof top building.
