Incredible guide who is an expert in food and culture - Leo was an incredible guide. He is knowledgeable and kind, knows all the best places to eat and has so much information to share about food, culture, and Singapore. I find the best way to get to know a new city and culture is through a food tour, and this one doesn’t disappoint ! I highly recommend this tour, it’s by far the best food tour I’ve ever done! Even a Michelin star curry puff! Be still my heart. ❤️

Highlight of Singapore - Leo is such an amazing tour guide! We loved the mix of history of Singapore - past, present and future and going to the museum mixed among the food (the breaks in between helped us digest so we could eat more!) His knowledge and passion for singapore and it’s food really made the tour even better. We ate some of the best food we’ve tried here in Singapore that we wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. He was very accomodating and went out of his way to help us. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, worth every cent!

Best 4+ hrs of food in Singapore - Leonard is the absolute best tour guide if you are looking to be taken through the multilayered culinary delights of Chinatown along with an extremely insightful stop at the URA center for a lesson on how Singapore came to be and how the food and culture influenced each other.

Leo was great - Leo was an enthusiastic tour guide, so much information given, taking you outside your comfort zone to area you would normally miss. The highlight was the cultural museum showing how Singapore has developed and was the perfect end to a great afternoon.

Don't miss this one ! - I can't say enough about this tour, and Mr. Leo Loo! Coming to Singapore and walking through the Hawkers Market in Trying The Amazing food has always been a bucket list item for us. We traveled with our best friends as came off of a cruise throughout East Asia and arrived in Singapore. We spent two days in this fabulous city, and it was just not enough. However, Leo Loo was able to give us an incredible tour of the hawkers market, the history of Singapore, the future of Singapore And its development, and really spoke to us about the beliefs and the acceptance of all here in this fabulous city. Leo was so informative. We got much more than a food tour and are already planning to return to Singapore in a few years. I am amazing, amazing, amazing! Thank you, Leo Mike & Vickie
