Great tour, awesome guide.

Published on Feb, 2025

Gee Soo, Boo was our guide on this “food tour “. This was so much more. A little history, a little culture , a lot of food, all from a man who loves his country. I can’t recommend this tour enough. And with any luck, you will have Gee as your guide.

Food and culture tour

Really great information and great food and drink . Good group as well .Gee Soo was a fantastic tour guide. He couldn’t do enough for us .

Excellent Tour Guide

Published on Jan, 2025

We travel all over the world and always hire a guide when we go to a new city. Gee Soo was the best tour guide we have had in a very long time. He was incredibly knowledgeable and organized, and he was amazing with our 3 year old daughter. We had a private, all day food tour and I highly recommend it.

Excellent Food Tour!

Stefan was a great guide and he customized our preferences and made sure to take us to places that we were interested in going to. It was a great way to explore different areas and also learn a little bit of history as well. The only complaint about this tour was that there was too much amazing food to eat in such a short period of time!

Excellent guided tour !

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Gee was very interesting, He shared his own expérience, explained many things about the culture and history of Singapore. He was very sociable, generous, and gave many informations. I really recommend Gee for a guided tour!
