Fantastic food tour and this is why…
The guide - First of all a big shout out and thank you to our guide Su! She was fantastic. Showed us the best places and gave us some great tips. You will receive an email afterwards.
The tour - About the tour, we had a small group that we appreciated. Must of the tour is done by foot except for one part. We loved the fact that we went to different neighborhoods with different cuisine. Food and history were explained.
The food - We seriously liked everything. Yummm Of course you love something more than something else. Portions were big so not bad to share.
When we booked the tour we thought two things:
1) Waaaaay too early.
2) Waaaaay too long.
Well we couldn’t be more wrong. The time was fine and good to have one of our favorite dishes, those are only available in the morning. We had such amazing time it flew by. It was supposed to end at 3PM but we stayed until 4PM.
Whatever you do, come with an empty stomach. Because after eating all this food and drinks you will explode at the end.

This food tour was a mixed bag. While we enjoyed learning more about the local culture and exploring several neighborhoods, for a food tour that cost about $150 per person, we did not feel the tour was anywhere near worth the money. We have done food tours regularly on our travels, and we always end up feeling like we’ve tried some of the top local dishes and come away feeling very full and satisfied with the food choices. Not so much on this tour. Few of the items had any protein and we were particularly surprised that chicken rice was not one of the foods tasted when it is such an iconic Singapore dish and we said at the beginning that we wanted to try it. Our guide Pam said we could just try that on our own, but two of the three people on the tour were in Singapore for a very brief visit and this would have been the time we would have expected to try this dish. My daughter and I ended up having to go elsewhere after the tour so that I could try the dish before I flew out that night. Another example that surprised me was the stop in Little India where we got two items that were very similar and were just vegetarian crepes essentially with some dips. If you just want a tour of some neighborhoods with food somewhat secondary, this tour might be fine for you. But if like me and my daughter you are expecting to try a wide selection of the best foods Singapore has to offer, I do not recommend it. You will definitely feel like you missed out on a full food experience.

We visited Sigapore for the first time and decided that we should experience the local food. We chose the Small Group Food Tour with Hawker Center: Eat Like A Local with our guide Su Ling. Our guide was well prepared. She had plates, bowls, spoons and wipes in case anyone needed it. There were six people in the group. We visited nine different restaurents and this included travelling by bus a couple of the stops and walking to the others. Su Ling included foods from all the various etnics groups in Singapore. All the meals were very good and she gave us the history behind each meal and Singapore itself. We enjoyed this tour very much and learned a lot about Singapore. We highly recommend this tour and expecially Su Ling as your guide.

My husband and I attended this food tour and we really enjoyed the experience. The group size of 8 was just right and i would not want there to be a bigger group. We ate so many good foods and the guide was wonderful with her explanations of each food and location we visited. i would recommend others to try this experience.

Gee Soo was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He brought us to 4 areas I would never visit as a tourist. In total we tried 17 dishes! I highly recommend Gee Soo as a guide and Hello Tours

The food tour was awesome! We were able to try so much delicious food from many of the different cultures in Singapore! It truly is six hours of eating (which I personally thought was awesome). Richard, our guide, showed us so many wonderful neighborhoods and food centers in Singapore while giving us little facts about the history of the city along the way. He even had a plan of action where he was able to get food for our group & have a back up plan if any stand/restaurant was too busy or closed.
The Hawker Center was a huge highlight. Not only did we eat some AMAZING food, we also felt confident in navigating other Hawker Centers in the area.
Richard made it clear which places had bathrooms along the way (a nice perk for a long food tour). I think this tour is well worth the time and the money in Singapore.
Richard also helped everyone navigate the metro to get back to their hotels. He even walked some members of the group down to the subway (even though it was out of his way and he was getting the bus). This was so nice of him!

Richard did a great job as our guide and made sure we ate many different delicious dishes from the many cultures in Singapore. To top it off, Richard made sure to take photos along the way to share after it was all over!

On a business trip and had just one day to sight see in Singapore. This trip was perfect and Richard was an excellent guide. If you love exploring food, you get to sample and learn about Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Indonesian food. While walking and taking buses you get to see parts of Singapore you won’t see on a business trip. And Richard provided a historical narrative of Singapore as well as insight into Singaporean culture and values today. I thought six hours might be a bit long. But it wasn’t. Was a perfect way to spend my day of sight seeing. Very, very glad I did this.
