Great Hawker Centre Tour in Singapore - Monica made our food tour very special - with her great knowledge and attention to details we had a great time tasting delicious dishes from various hawker centres. We also learned about the area and Singapore in general which we really appreciated.

Wonderful Hawker Center Food Tour - I would give Ang and his tour 100 stars if I could! It was the highlight of my trip to Singapore and I would absolutely recommend his tour to anyone. I selected the Hawker Center food tour, and having a local expert to help navigate all the stalls and share his knowledge of the history of the centers and stalls was invaluable. Ang also made sure to explain each dish and I was amazed (and totally full!) at the end by all the new dishes I was able to try. Ang is extremely knowledgeable, funny and kind— he even learned some facts about my home city before the tour. He went above and beyond to ensure his tour was special (including providing helpful items for the Hawker Center and some Singapore souvenirs!) and I will definitely remember it for years to come!!

Amazing hawker market food tour - Our experience began before we arrived, it was our first visit to Singapore. Arthur our guide gave us great advice on where to meet and how to get there by local transport.
When we met up he was full of enthusiasm and was obviously proud of his country and heritage. He showed us round and gave us loads of interesting facts and useful information. Our visit to the hawker market was exceptional, Arthur kept on bringing us dish after dish of local food staples and delicacies. He was a really nice and knowledgeable guide and we could have asked no more of him. When we return we hope to see him again for another tour. I would thoroughly recommend him and the hawker market tour.

We so enjoyed our experience of the color, the vibrancy and the authentic flavors of Singapore. Thank you, Hundred, for a memorable experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Immersing yourself into Thai culture through food - Marcus provided wonderful explanations and the food choices for our tasting were great. He took the time to accommodate my mobility issues and my son’s vegetarian diet. The tour of the temple was very educational and enjoyable.

Must do Singapore experience - Our family of 6 including a 10 year old had a wonderful and insightful tour with William through Chinatown’s hawker markets! We tried a few delicious local specialties and learnt a lot about Singapore and its culture. Highly recommend William as your tour guide.

Excellent - Marcus Yeo from Withlocals was an amazing tour guide on our Private 3 hour Singapore Food Tour. He provided numerous information about the history of Singapore and was patient. Plus, the food and beverage tastings were delicious, and the servings were really good portions. Enough food and drinks for lunch or even dinner. Well Done Yeo.

Great way to see Singapore. - This was a great walking tour of Singapore. Suhail was our guide and he was phenomenal, so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much about Singapore. I was a little disappointed in the food options, I felt they could have been more diverse. But, it was ok, as the tour itself was worth the $$.

Enjoyable evening - The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us much information about Singapore but we were expecting to stop at different food outlets to sample various different offerings. As it was we only sampled food, which was excellent, at the end. Having experienced a most enjoyable street food evening in Delhi we were expecting something similar.
