Great food tour, thank you Mark

We have been to Singapore several times before but weren’t sure what to order at the Hawker markets. Mark was a great guide, really informative about Singapore overall as well as the cuisine. He arranged for us to taste lots of different foods which we would never had the opportunity to try if we were on our own. We had a really great trip and would highly recommend giving it a try.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

I’m delighted to hear that Mark helped make your time in Singapore so enjoyable and informative, especially at the hawker markets. It’s fantastic that you were able to try a variety of local dishes you might not have discovered on your own — that’s exactly the kind of authentic experience we love to create.

We had a wonderful day...

Jesse_M, Feb 2026
We had a wonderful day sampling everything from Michelin starred hawker food to small treats that were in season for Chinese new year. Jon, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly and tailored every stop and every dish to our tastes. The pace was perfect and we left definitely full, but not totally bloated. I’d highly recommend this to anybody as it was a highlight of our trip to Singapore.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re delighted to hear you that the food selections, pacing, and personal touches were just right and that the experience became a highlight of your Singapore trip. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future!

Jackie_B, Nov 2025
I was solo traveling for the first time in Singapore and decided to do a this food tour. I had the best time with tour guide Adam. He taught me sooooo much about the food, culture and honestly simple stuff like how to get around on public transportation which was super helpful and gave me the confidence to do it the rest of my trip like a pro! If I get to come back to Singapore again I’d gladly do another tour with him because I found it so helpful.

Must-Do Private Tour in Singapore

Shalysse_K, Oct 2025
This was one of the highlights to our first visit to Singapore. Roy is the absolute best! He introduced my Mom and I to all different types of local cuisine, taught us some of the history of Singapore and walked us through some historical parts of Chinatown. Roy tailored the tour to us, and went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable, and it’s an experience we will never forget. We ate the absolute best foods on this tour! Thank you so much Roy for taking care of us and making us feel welcome in your beautiful country.

A great introduction to Singapore. We have been to S’ore many times but never really appreciated its culture diversity and history. Kevin our guide tied it all together as we visited each neighborhood and sampled so much food It was a great tour and whether you are a first timer or a many time visitor, this is a must tour

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re thrilled to hear Kevin gave you such a great introduction to Singapore! It’s wonderful that his insights and food stops helped you appreciate the city’s cultural diversity and history in a whole new way. Thank you for your glowing recommendation!

Good customizable tour

Timothy_R, Sep 2025
Did a solo tour- my guide was Jack. He was very friendly and approachable. He sent me an initial itinerary, and once we met in person we decided to slightly modify it to fit my schedule a bit better as i wanted to be back at my hotel by a certain time. My main goal was to try Singapore's most popular dishes, and Jack had many good suggestions. He was also able to give me a good overview of singapore and each of it's major areas he thought i would enjoy. I would highly recommend booking the tour- having a food guide definitely made it easier and less overwhelming to try as much food as possible.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re glad to hear Jack made your solo tour enjoyable and helped you experience the best of Singapore’s food and culture. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another experience soon!

Custom Private Tour for Keen Foodies

Jenny_E, Sep 2025
I booked a private street food tour for a guest visiting from the US. I provided very specific instructions as our guest is a keen foodie with adventurous tastes. We were matched with Dr. Stan as our guide. He went above and beyond from the moment I booked. He was highly communicative and receptive to my specific requests. It was evident he listened closely and curated a 100% custom tour itinerary. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure his tour is *exactly* what you want. I couldn't be more pleased as my guest was delighted. This is worth the investment if food is an important part of your travel experience. Highly recommend this tour and Dr. Stan specifically!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

It’s wonderful to hear how much your guest enjoyed their street food tour with Dr. Stan. His attentiveness, flexibility, and passion for curating a truly customized experience clearly made the day memorable. Thank you for sharing such kind words and for recommending this tour so highly!
