Maximizing our experience deliciously and efficiently! - What a great personal tour we had with Leo. We were very familiar with Singapore and Malaysian food, having lived here in the region before, but still wanted to find some great food stalls, learn about Singapore, and explore a part of it with more detail and efficiency than we could do on our own. Leo provided that opportunity wonderfully. He is knowledgeable, fun, personable, and we really enjoyed learning, touring, and eating through Singapore’s Chinatown area together. We could not have had the same experience without him. Highly recommended.

Best Food Tour Ever! - Leo was exceptional! His thorough knowledge of Singapore’s history and expert selection of foods to sample made this tour so special. He’s also a great guy to hang out with. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Leo even helped us use the Metro to get back to the hotel!

An excellent time spent in Singapore - Our first time visit to Singapore and we wanted to find out more about the food and culture. We could not have made a better choice. We spent 4 hours with Leo who was the kindest and most knowledgeable host. The food that he had chosen for us to try was so enjoyable and there was not one thing that we did not enjoy. At the end of the trip we could not actually name a favourite as it was all so good but needless to say we did not eat again that night!

Late lunch with a local - We had a wonderful time exploring the food and history of Chinatown with Leo. Leo was a fabulous guide, explaining the history of the area, the changes that have happened and the plans for the future. The food was plentiful and very tasty and getting the background of the different cultural forces that have influenced it made it even more special. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to a deeper understanding of modern Singapore.

Incredible guide who is an expert in food and culture - Leo was an incredible guide. He is knowledgeable and kind, knows all the best places to eat and has so much information to share about food, culture, and Singapore. I find the best way to get to know a new city and culture is through a food tour, and this one doesn’t disappoint ! I highly recommend this tour, it’s by far the best food tour I’ve ever done! Even a Michelin star curry puff! Be still my heart. ❤️

Highlight of Singapore - Leo is such an amazing tour guide! We loved the mix of history of Singapore - past, present and future and going to the museum mixed among the food (the breaks in between helped us digest so we could eat more!) His knowledge and passion for singapore and it’s food really made the tour even better. We ate some of the best food we’ve tried here in Singapore that we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. He was very accomodating and went out of his way to help us. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, worth every cent!
