HJ tailored our tour to meet our interests in culture and history. We leaned a lot! He adjusted easily and quickly to a private car tour as it was raining much of the morning. Thanks. HJ! Great tour

We had such a great time with Grayson! He’s super friendly, very thoughtful, and his English is excellent – he’s got such a rich vocabulary. What really stood out was that he didn’t just tell us about the dishes we tried, but also shared so much about life in Singapore and its different cultures. The food was amazing – every dish was tasty and the order they came in made perfect sense. Our top favorites were definitely the curry puffs, ondeh-ondeh, and the popiah. All in all, it was a really fun and delicious experience. We’d 100% recommend doing this tour with Grayson!More Than Just Food – A Fantastic Tour!

We have just finished a wonderful walking tour through Gardens of the Bay with Marcus and cannot express how happy and satisfied we felt after the tour. Marcus was incredibly knowledgeable about Singapore and the Gardens and was very caring and ensured we remained comfortable in the heat. He obliged by taking many pictures of us and we have a great photographic record of the visit. We were very impressed by his courtesy and friendliness and if you are booking a tour through the Gardens make sure Marcus is your allocated guide.Ernest and Adrianne

We loved our tour with Grayson, took us at a comfortable pace so that we never felt rushed. The food was delicious and we now feel comfortable navigating hawker markets (110 in Singapore!) and the MRT thanks to G’s tips. We will definitely be sampling some of these delights again before we leave Singapore!!Knowledgable local, super chill

Very informative about the food, culture and history of Geylang and Joo Chiat. It was great to try different dishes we would not normally experience. The condensed milk hot tea was an unexpected pleasure for a coffee drinker. Marcus was excellent. 10 Tastings: Geylang & Joo Chiat Food Tour

We chose tour in order to learn about the colonial history of Singapore. Grayson was an excellent guide and certainly did not disappoint us. He is knowledgeable, interesting and took us to buildings and places that played important roles in the colonial times. He relayed the history of Singapore around these buildings. Grayson had great communication from the moment we booked. We highly recommend Grayson as a guide and this tour. Excellent tour - highly recommend

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!

Our tour with Grayson was simply fantastic. From the moment we were greeted by Grayson at our meeting place we knew we were in for a brilliant 3 hours. We explored three neighbourhoods that Grayson brought to life with his knowledge and wit. We learned so much about Singapore life and history, which beautifully complemented the delicious food we sampled. Over three hours we sampled foods we would have otherwise never tried if we were on our own. Grayson's knowledge of the foods we tried were the cherry on top. We would recommend Grayson's tour to anyone visiting Singapore!A tour of food and life in Singapore

Grayson was superb. He was punctual, super informative, full of local information in addition to historical information of the 3 cultural centers. He also adjusted our visit based on what we wanted to do. For example, we passed a durian stand and I wanted my daughter to try it so we took a moment to sit down and enjoy some durian. I am sure that was not part of our walk but he was great about accomodating our wants. It was a hot day and Grayson was always mindful of asking us if we need drinks while we walk. Another reason why we really appreciated Grayson is that he brings his own stories to the visit. For example, for our snack in Little India, he explained to us how his family would buy the snack for him as a child. If you want an informative, interesting visit that pulls in a real local's perspective then Grayson is your man. Super Interesting Walk w/ a Super Guide

We have done many Foodie tours around the world & consider HJ's private Hawker tour absolutely outstanding. For our first time to Singapore we wanted to try Hawker food and find out more about Singapore. That's where going with a local guide you learn so much. The food we sampled was absolutely delicious and we saw alot of Chinatown. Thank you HJ for a memorable night. Fantastic Hawker tour

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

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

Grayson met us on time in the Arab quarter, where we had our first tastings. He selected traditional dishes that locals would choose. He explained how the dish came about and how they are prepared. Next stop was little India where we visited a Hawker center. On the way over there he explained some aspects of Singaporian life as public housing. The last stop was China town which we got to with the MRT. The food in Chinatown was really good and interesting. These were dishes that we wouldn’t have selected on our own. Overall great experience and glad we did it.Great Food Tour

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
