Aaron was an excellent guide. Very friendly and relaxed. We got to experience a local neighbourhood hawker market and eat an array of delicious food. We were able to try so many foods I have been wanting to try. Also got to find out a lot more about the local life in Singapore. Thanks Aaron!

Owesome Food Trip.

Homer_S, May 2024

I could not have had a wonderful visit to Singapore without a tour guide. Jasmin Simon is an incredible Tour Guide. He lets you sink into the culture and absorb the food-tasting experience. Taking the transit system made me realize how unique SIngapore's is.

Response from Host, May 2024

Exploring Singapore's unique transit system is indeed an eye-opening experience, and we're glad you had the opportunity to discover its uniqueness. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Great tour and tour guide

Brian_B, Apr 2024

Loy was very knowledgeable and punctual. What we saw and learned in the 3 hour tour was great. Communication pre-tour could have been better.

Thanks Jon and Freddy

Karen_T, Apr 2024

Great food, knowable and friendly guide made this tour fun. More than enough food to serve as dinner.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Sounds like a perfect combination of delicious food and insightful exploration with a friendly guide!

One of the best tours I've ever had!

Lisa_D, Apr 2024

Aslin was an amazing food guide. She messaged me and my dad in advance to find out what we were looking for, what kinds of foods we wanted to try, allergies/dislikes, etc. We tried 7 or 8 different foods and drinks, and they were all delicious. Aslin knew that we don't like very spicy foods so she was able to order one of the quintessential Singaporean foods, laksa, without all of the added spice. She was friendly, personable, and very helpful in answering questions we had about Singapore. She met us in front of our hotel because she knew we had just arrived in Singapore and were not familiar with the area and the metro system. All in all, it was one of the best tours I've ever taken and I would highly recommend it.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're thrilled you enjoyed your food tour with Aslin! Her proactive approach to customization, attention to dietary preferences, and local insights truly enhanced your experience. Aslin's friendly demeanor and thoughtful gestures, like meeting you at your hotel, made for a memorable and seamless adventure. We're grateful for your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more culinary explorations!

Yummy Singapore Saturday

Peggy_S, Apr 2024

Our guide JoAnne introduced us not only to hawker food but also the local culture and community of the people who live in Singapore. And we all tried the durian fruit shaved ice!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Great to hear you had a good time with JoAnne in Singapore! Thank you for your positive review—it means a lot to us.

Very Personalized Tour

Marcia_Z, Apr 2024

Aslin was amazing! She picked the best array of typical dishes and brought them to us. She guided us through the very clean rapid transit system and helped us with a credit card problem. If you go on the rail you must use two different credit cards per couple. MC or Visa Aslin gets a gold star!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We deeply appreciate your positive review of your private and personalized tour with Aslin. Your feedback truly lifts our spirits. Remember us for your future travels, as we have hosts all around the world!

Great Experience

kgobbel, Apr 2024

Clair was an excellent host. She was in contact before the tour and was able to customize the meeting place and for my mobility. She made excellent choices for the various food stops. She was also willing to answer my questions and discuss life and history in Singapore. It was a very interesting evening! Being a solo traveler this tour made it very easy to taste food I would never have found on my own.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the positive review on your private and personalized tour with Clair. Your feedback truly uplifts us. Think of us next time you travel, we have many many hosts all around the world!

Delicious local food away from the tourist areas

Kim_D, Apr 2024

Response from Host, Apr 2024

It sounds like you had an incredible time with Aaron! Exploring the local neighborhood and tasting delicious food must have been a memorable experience. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback!

So full!

Liz_R, Mar 2024

Robyn took us to three different places and had us try about right different things. We were stuffed! She also took us by metro all the way back to our cruise ship. It was a wonderful way to down a morning I. Singapore

Must do in Singapore!

Aidan_T, Mar 2024

Throughout my trabels have been on many food and culture tours, however this one was by far the best. My tour guide Jon was so informed and not only brought me to the best food I have ever had in my life. He also taught me about the fascinating history of Singapore and I learned about how life has changed over the last 50 years. If you are in Sinapore you have to give this a try!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

That sounds like an incredible experience! Jon seems like an exceptional guide, providing not only delicious food but also insightful knowledge about Singapore's history and culture. Thank you for sharing your recommendation, and if you need any further assistance or recommendations for your travels, feel free to reach out.

Fun and tasty!

James_P, Mar 2024

Michelle took us to several hawker stands and food stalls, and even worked in a quick stop for some shopping at our request. She was a knowledgeable local and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. The food was great!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I'm delighted to hear about your experience with Michelle! Thank you for sharing. Here's to the delightful food discoveries and Michelle's unwavering dedication. Cheers!

Totally worth it

Kate_B, Mar 2024

Having a local show you the best places to eat. Having a good variety of food. Also being able to ask questions about Singapore in general with a local to understand the culture more. Have never done a food tour but now I would totally recommend it.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the positive review on your private and personalized tour. Your feedback truly uplifts us. Think of us next time you travel, we have many many hosts all around the world!

Great Singapore food tour

Sheldon_L, Mar 2024

Nice stories of Singapore and very good food selection. Very helpful on sites to see. We walked all around Chinatown.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Your positive review is incredibly valuable to us and your host. Thank you sincerely!

Street food sampling.

David_W, Mar 2024

Had a great afternoon with Adam. We asked for a spontaneous adventure and he delivered. Between fun local food bites we got historical and cultural relevant narratives of the areas. Adam was attentive to our needs and answered our questions with ease and when we asked for something he didn’t know, he found the answer for us. I would recommend the trip to anyone wanting an easy guided tour to Singapore with a focus on food.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We're thrilled to hear about your great afternoon with Adam! His ability to provide a spontaneous adventure filled with local food and insightful narratives truly made the experience memorable. Adam's attentiveness and willingness to cater to your needs are commendable. Thank you for recommending the tour to others seeking a guided tour of Singapore with a focus on food. We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future!

Singapore Food Tour

John_R, Feb 2024

Joanne was a very well informed guide. A very good experience. The evolution of street food to Hawkers Centres was very interesting

A must-do: Best way to experience the Hawker Centres for newbies!

Erin_S, Feb 2024

Robyn was very knowledgeable and we had such a fantastic time! She was able to accommodate our dietary preferences while still giving us an amazing day out, experiencing the hawker centres. She was even lovely enough to give us further recommendations of restaurants and attractions. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore this amazing culinary scene, especially for the first time!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi! I am so happy to hear that Robyn did it again! She is a great host and always tries her very best to personalize the experience for our guests. Your review has brightened our day. Your support means the world!

Didn’t live up to expectations

franmt73, Feb 2024

In guide’s defence he was only assigned our excursion 12 hours before start due to 2 prior guides cancelling. We had completed questionnaires with prior guides but that information never passed to him so it wasn’t organized. Aaron was very helpful and friendly but not very knowledgeable to what tour was to include. Management is what at issue and not guide. We felt we missed key tourist spots due to this. Would suggest doing tour in larger group than just a couple.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Fran, I understand the frustration of having a last-minute host change that didn't fully meet your expectations. Regrettably, the previous host had to cancel due to health issues. I'm truly sorry that we missed the mark here, even though we did communicate the information to the host. Your feedback truly matters to us, and we've reached out to you directly to make things right. We'd love the opportunity to create a more fulfilling experience for you next time with a local who perfectly fits your preferences. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

Interesting, creative and fun

Kathy_S, Feb 2024

Pree was an excellent guide, with knowledge and insight into the heart of Singapore. Would highly recommend this tour for those wanting to experience the best food places in Singapore!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hi Kathy, Your positive feedback brightens the day for Pree and for us. Thank you!

Food tour with ST

Kathleen_K, Feb 2024

Our Guide, ST, was amazing. He took us to places we would never have found on this own. He was knowledgeable about the history, culture and architecture of the places we visited. The food he selected for us in the hawker markets was excellent. Best of all, ST was a really nice guy. We hated to leave him.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you very much for your glowing review! We're thrilled that ST created such a special and personalized Singapore tour for you. Whenever you're ready for your next adventure, we'll be here waiting!
