Enough time and enough food to make the food lovers extremely happy. And our guide (Pamela) was extremely nice! I totally recommend it

I feel this tour is a must for anyone new to Singapore/and or its extremely diverse and expansive cuisine(s). Kwang, our guide, was very knowledgeable, and his passion for food and the city was infectious. We learned so much about food and history as we visited various neighborhoods and tried 8 different places, all with delicious food! The people at every place we visited were always delighted to see him. Kwang was also very attentive to our comfort (note that the climate is very hot and humid, and the experience involves quite a bit of walking outside) and made sure we knew how to get to where we needed to go next after the tour ended. I’m very glad I did this tour towards the beginning of my stay—it was a lovely introduction to the food and culture that allowed me to continue exploring with more knowledge and excitement for the remainder of my time in Singapore. If you happen to do the tour with Kwang, you’re in for a real treat!

I have done food tours all over the world, but his food tour was amazing! I kept telling the tour guide Pam - that I was so impressed with this tour. Because we visited so many neighborhoods in this tour, I felt that I got to see Singapore in ways I would not on my own. This tour is a must do in Singapore and Pam was so knowledgable and very dynamic.

Thank you so much for your review. It sounds like Pam really knows how to give an unforgettable food tour of Singapore! Pam's knowledge and dynamism must have added so much value to the experience. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for her tour!

Our guide, Kwang, was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the food culture and architectural styles in the city. But 6 hrs and 9 food stops was a very long day. We think fewer stops.. 4 good quality stops would be more than enough, and maybe just 3 hrs, would be more enjoyable. (11-2) Our entire group was in agreement with this assessment. Not the guides fault..he was terrific..it is what we signed up for. Maybe Viatour should reassess this tour?

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the tour. I am sorry to hear that it had too much food for your liking. There are other tour companies that offer much shorter tours and also tours that have less food included. This is a full day 6hrs tour of Singapore covering 4 different geographical districts and food from Chinese, Peranakan, Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian and foods that have been uniquely made in Singapore. The tour is designed that way on purpose in order to give people a complete breadth and depth of understanding about the food culture and food seen in Singapore and if there are any other people who are looking for something shorter and may be focussing on just one district or two districts, there are companies providing such tours and we do appreciate that our tour may be too long for some people and may include too much food for some. So thank you very much for taking the time to review.

We all know how the tour guide can make or break a tour and we were lucky enough to have Gee Soo as our guide. He was fabulous! So much info about Singapore was passed on to us. We tasted approx 18 foods and drink. All great examples of the 3 neighborhoods we visited on our 6 hour tour. ….highly recommend!

Our guide,Su Ling, made this Singapore food tour so much fun and educational. Su Ling really puts her heart and soul into this tour and kept it at a comfortable pace. The foods you will sample follow the historical influences of the many cultures that inspired this fairly young country. I was so full at the end of the tour. Bring good walking shoes.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Su Ling, says thank you for the lovely review! we are glad to hear you were full a the end of the tour and enjoyed your time.

Darryl our guide made the tour even better than I expected. I left the tour early and he made sure I got into a taxi. He did not leave me alone.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

This was a wonderful tour. Pam was an outstanding guide and the history and information was terrific. The food was excellent and she took us to local spots we would not have found as normal tourists. Highly recommend this tour to learn about Singapore and its foods.

Wonderful day with Su Ling. We had only a day and a half in Singapore but came away with a good understanding and appreciation of Singapore’s culture and history. And the food? Excellent, varied and a reflection of the ethnic culture behind it.

Thank you for taking the tour with us! We are happy you enjoyed your time with Su Ling :)
