Great time eating and touring in Chinatown

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great time with our guide Rene. He offered history and insight to Singapore. He took us to the hawker halls and picked out a wide variety of food and drink to try. It gave us the opportunity to try things we might not have considered. Along with the food tour, Rene took us around Chinatown to show us sites. We were able to get into one of the temples and also got into the city planner’s building where they have a fabulous area that shows both history and future plans for the growth of Singapore. This was very informative. We really enjoyed our time with Rene and would definitely do another tour with Rene if we return to Singapore. Definitely 5+ star tour.

Must Do Tour in Singapore!

Published on May, 2024

We loved our tour with Rene! Not only did he take you on a tour of some great hawker centres, but he also takes you and shows you about the history and future of Singapore. Would definitely do the tour if we went back and have recommended it to many friends!

Awesome

Published on Mar, 2024

We had a great time. Rene was an amazing host. He told us about the history and we had some fantastic food. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Unique indo style nasi padang

Published on Sep, 2023

Impressive Indonesia food - nasi padang! I didn't expect to get this unique quality in SG they are different taste from the normal malay style nasi padang. They have 8 types of different curry sauces & all taste differently! & many more dishes apart from nasi padang! Alot of their stuff are from Indonesia. Worth trying out you won't be disappointed!

Very enjoyable food tour!

Published on Jan, 2022

We thoroughly enjoyed our Chinatown food tour. We tried so many foods we had never tried before. We also had a tour of Chinatown, the Hawker Centers and the wet market. We also learned so much about the history of Chinatown. We would definitely recommend this tour.
