If you wish to experience the hawkers and food markets like a local, plus learn the history, this is the tour for you. - A fantastic few hours visiting the local hawkers markets and food courts. Kristine C is a wonderful guide full of local and national knowledge. We visited a few markets and local restaurants tasting a number of local dishes and in between, Kristine guided us with knowledge of the culture, local communities and history. Come hungry because you will leave full.

All the best of Singapore - John took such great care of us as we noshed our way through the Singapore food areas. He shared a wealth of history and patiently answered all of our questions about this fascinating country. We had one person in a wheelchair and he tailored our excursion to meet all our needs. Thank you, John, for a wonderful evening!

Nice Food Tour - Kristine was social and knowledgeable. She took me out for a food tour, preemptively looked into closed locations, and took my preferences and previous experience into account.
Food included a non-chain Kaya Toast, Chicken Rice (explained differences in preparation methods and history), we got Sugarcane Juice and looked for a "clean tasting" intestines which was unfortunately closed (likely due to Chinese/Lunar New Year), and finished off with a light Indian dish.
