Chingmeng was not very pleasant and was very difficult to understand. He knew we were hard of hearing but he continued to talk as he walked away. We could not find the meeting spot and so we were late. I tried to explain that I thught the description of the spot was incorrect and he responded by saying the description for the meeting spot has worked for 10 years and it was fine for everyone else, so why did we have trouble? He brought up US politics and we had no interest in discussing politics. He acted tired and bored. I would not recommend this guide.Not very excited to be doing his job

Appreciated the history of the areas we visited. Would have liked a little input into food options. Only visited 3 places and the guide seemed liked he was to be somewhere else. Looking at his watch all the time. Less than we hoped for.

We had a great time with Chingmeng - he was super engaging and knew so much about Singapore. He shared lots of history and culture during our tour, and introduced us to a few distinct parts of the city. Really tasty food and a good mix so we got to try a bit of everything. Highly recommend, especially as a first timer in Singapore as a way to help you navigate the many food choices you’ll have! Really great experience

Chingmeng was lovely and we enjoyed our time. But we wouldn’t call it a food tour. The 10 tastings are 3 meals at 3 stops and we would have liked to have known more about the food we were tasting. There wasn’t enough insight into the restaurants and stalls we were visiting, nor the meals themselves. We don’t usually bother to write reviews but we were surprised seeing all the 5 star ones on here in hindsight. We do a lot of tours and this was by far the most expensive and private. So we were expecting a more personal experience. Maybe we caught him on an off-day but it felt like he was just going through the motions. Chingmeng was good and answered most of our questions. The food itself was tasty. But given the cost and the fact it didn’t meet the description, we wouldn’t recommend. Food great, tour didn’t meet expectations.

We had an absolutely lovely afternoon- the food was delicious at each stop, we enjoyed learning how to use the subway and will continue using it for the rest of our stay, and we had a nice history tour at each location. We traveled as 2 American parents with their college and high school aged children. We all enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend it!Outstanding

Booked the street food tastings with Chingmeng and it was excellent! Chingmeng has a wealth of knowledge about Singapore beyond just the food. But he also took us to some super yummy food vendors! The chicken masala and naan bread in little india was amazing! Would absolutely recommend Chingmeng for your tour of Singapore! Fantastic food and city tour!

Chingmeng was intelligent, funny and knew Singapore. The day started in Arab Street, then we moved to little India and then to Chinatown. We tasted lovely morsels at each stop, whilst we learned about the history of Singapore. Highly recommend Chingmeng to any traveller coming to this gorgeous city. Thank you very much for a lovely day Excellent tour guide
