Food , fun and cycling - This was our second cycling tour in Singapore and we were delighted to have Holden as our guide for both tours. We chose this tour as it focussed more on traditional Singaporean foods and Holden ensured we had a great time taking us to well loved food outlets and gave us lots of interesting information too.
The ride back along the water at East Coast Park was a delight, even in the rain. It inspired us to hire our own bikes the next day and have dinner at the Hawker centre there.
Can’t wait to come back to do another tour! Fantastic !

Strongly Recommend! Make sure to come hungry!!! - Thanks James! This Katong food cycling tour was amazing. Strongly recommend to anyone heading to Singapore for a holiday! James was a brilliant guide, took us to the best location for each dish along with a history lesson of the how the uniquely singaporean cuisine fusions came to be. Winding us down the backstreets from place to place on the bikes. Chicken Rice, Laksa (Gordon Ramsey beating...), curry puffs, otah, prawn donuts and much more I can't remember the name of. Definitely come hungry!!!
I also did the Lion Bike Tour with Bike Around Tours a few days earlier with Derrick as our guide. Again strongly recommend! That was very popular, was a dozen of us in the group. Whilst for the Katong food tour had less than a handful of us.
I strongly recommend both. Though if you prefer a bit less riding and a bit more eating the additional cost of the food tour is worth it as everything is included.

A highlight of our time in Singapore - An amazing way to experience Singapore’s history and food culture. This tour is a ‘must do’ for anyone visiting that wants the opportunity to see something different, away from the city centre. A highlight of our time in Singapore, you get an opportunity to sample some outstanding food and learn about some of Singapore’s history. Fred, our tour guide was brilliant and really brought this to life for us.

Jeff’s culinary experience (with bikes) - Amazing morning with many interesting food stops. Come very hungry! Jeff was full of informative anecdotes about the local area as well as the food. The whole tour was about 3.5 hours and we had a really great time. Would recommend this to anyone looking for something different!

Holden never disappoints - great guide - Holden never disappoints! On todays cycling excursion through Katong, we embarked on a delightful culinary journey. Nine local dishes awaited us, each a tantalizing blend of tradition and innovation. Holden’s extensive knowledge—both historical and contemporary—kept us enthralled throughout the day.
From fragrant laksa to crispy roti prata, we savored every bite. The vibrant streets of Katong unfolded before us, revealing hidden gems and cherished food spots. Holden’s passion for Singaporean cuisine is contagious, making this adventure not just about food, but about culture and community.

Outstanding food tour! - The tour guide, Zac, was great and knowledgeable. We sampled many local snacks and enjoyed all of them. The reason for the 4 stars was that 1 of the bikes practically had no tread on it. I would be concerned if it rained and we had to navigate around pedestrians. Overall I had a great time.
