Would definitely recommend!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Superb! We had the best time on our foodie tour! Our tour guide, Augustine, was knowledgeable, charming and funny. He took such good care of us, feeding us the most amazing, delicious array of foods, and adjusting the tour to accommodate our interests. He shared his own experiences with us and brought Singapore to life for us. He was an excellent photographer too, and helped us to capture our trip. Would most definitely recommend!

Highly recommend!

HJ was a wonderful guide. He took me and my partner I around the hawker markets in Chinatown and introduced us to all the norms of the hawker food market culture. I’m vegetarian and he found vegetarianised versions of the most famous dishes for me. He sent us pictures afterwards with the names of all the foods we tried. When we were full he took us to a museum and taught us about the history of Singapore. He walked us back to our hotel, very full, with a long list of recommendations and knowing a lot more about Singapore. I would highly recommend this experience - particularly at the start of your trip! It made us a lot more confident navigating the markets.

What a delicious Singaporean food experience!

Published on Mar, 2024

What a fantastic way to explore the local Singapore food & culture! Fred was full of interesting information about how all the different cultures have influenced Singaporean food over time. Loved tasting all his favourite foods, and learning about how they are made, at local eateries along the way. Must-do tour when in Singapore!

Amazing experience.

Published on Mar, 2024

Our guide Fred was very knowledgeable about authentic Singapore food. We love that we experienced the food at restaurants and stalls that the locals visit. The food was amazing as was Fred’s knowledge of the local area , the history of Singapore and its traditional food. Highly recommend!!

Fabulous Bike Tour for some members of the British Association Singapore

Published on Mar, 2023

I organised this Food Bike Tour for 14 ladies from the British Association here in Singapore, I myself have been on the tour a number of times and wanted the BA to experience the fun of this wonderful bike tour. Our tour guides Han & Wyman were fantastic and kept us informed all the way round on the local foods we were trying and also some history of Katong & Joo Chiat. I would highly recommend this bike tour especially if your interested in trying local dishes and have a morning to spare! Only advise is, don't eat breakfast beforehand as this will keep you going for a very long time. Thanks again Han & Wyman and look forward to the next tour. Lizzy
