Itinerary

  • Sri Mariamman Temple

    The Sri Mariamman Temple was founded in 1827 by Naraina Pillai, a prominent figure in Singapore’s Indian community. It was recognized as a National Monument for its architectural and historical significance.

    10 minutes

  • Ann Siang Hill Park

    Ann Siang Hill was once a bustling business Centre for Chinese immigrants in Singapore, retaining much of its historical and architectural charm with many of the ethnic picturesque shophouses being restored and conserved. The tour guide will show you photo taking spots that were featured in the movie Crazy Rich Asians.

    15 minutes

  • Maxwell Food Centre

    Maxwell Food Centre is a treasure trove of hawker delights, featuring famous hawker dishes like Singapore's famous chicken rice, Fuzhou pancakes and other Hawker food

    35 minutes

  • Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum

    This Tang-styled Chinese Buddhist temple’s richly designed interiors and comprehensive exhibits on Buddhist art and history tell stories of culture over thousands of years old. The temple houses a relic said to be a tooth from Buddha. Next to it is Sago Lane, a place the Cantonese name ominously called 'street of the dead'.

    10 minutes

  • Chinatown

    Chinatown Complex is a repository of unique architectural heritage showcasing shophouses with exteriors decorated in Chinese-style tile ornaments and motifs. Previously, street hawkers would ply their trade in pushcarts all over Chinatown causing congested traffic, resulting in the construction of Chinatown Complex to resettle them without losing the district’s unique character. Today, Chinatown complex is a popular place to dine & shop.

    20 minutes

  • Smith Street

    Walk through several alleys with ethnic picturesque shophouses, Instagrammable murals by local artist Yip Yew Chong and have a rest stop at a traditional coffeeshop, feeling the nostalgia and tradition of coffee beans being roasted and ground at their backyard back in the old days.

    30 minutes

It was excellent! Great...

Published on Feb, 2025

It was excellent! Great combo of history, culture and food. We had a wonderful guide who adapted to our interests.

History of Singapore through Food

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide, Ronnie, was a wealth of information about the history of Singapore and its food culture. We did taste 9-10 dishes, but I would say that this was almost as much of a walking history tour as food, so if you're looking to sample as many items as possible, I would choose another tour. However, if you want to maximize your time in town and learn about Singapore and sample some great dishes, this is the perfect tour.

A unique perspective to Singapore

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a excellent tour with a mixture of history and unique foods distinctive to the history of Singapore. Se highly recommend tour to anyone!

A great way to learn the history of Singapore while enjoying great food.

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I were treated by our guide, Ronnie, to several relaxing hours absorbing the rich culture of Singapore. From not only tasting many delicious food specialties, but understanding how they were introduced through the settlement of the cAountry. Ronnie was the perfect guide, not only very knowledgeable, but also very personable and considerate to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of our tour.

Great experience. Highly recommend

Published on Dec, 2024

A couple of days before the start of scheduled tour, I was contacted and asked if I could reschedule. Because I was only in Singapore for a day I wasn't able to reschedule. They understood and operated the tour as scheduled. This tour was a amazing. I arrived about 30 minutes early and we were able to start the tour early. Sylvia the guide was extremely informative and has a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much about Singapore and the food culture. My only feedback is come hungry! You will eat your way around Singapore and leave stuffed! Highly recommend.
