Excellent, informative, and more than enough food. - Leo was excellent - more food we could eat and many we had never tried before. His tour of the City Gallery was very informative and provided us a good introduction to Singapore's history. My only comment is that the City Gallery portion was a bit too long with more information than we could absorb. Otherwise an excellent toutour guide. guide.

Fantastic walking and foodie tour - We had a fantastic tour of Singapore. Second time but saw things we missed the first time. Went to the Hawker Centres to sample a variety of dishes and visited the City Gallery. Must do tour if you want to see a different aspect of Singapore. Leo was a wealth of knowledge and clearly loves what he does. Make sure you have a light breakfast!

Great food; knowledgeable and friendly guide - great help for my wheat allergy - Took the tour with Leo the morning after our arrival in Singapore. It's our first trip, and I have an intolerance for wheat. I thought it might help to have a guide to help us navigate Singapore's famous hawker centres.
We sampled breakfast-type foods, the famous Hainan Chicken Rice, oyster cakes, several types of barbecued pork, an interesting dessert item, and much more.
Leo was careful to offer only foods that he knew that I could eat, though my wife was able to sample a few tasty things that I was unable to try.
In addition, Leo took us to a city museum that explained the history of Singapore and what life in the city is like today.
Leo was a great guide, and a good source of information, helping us to decide what else we might want to do during our short visit here.
Bottom line: The tour included far more than we expected, and was exactly the tour we needed for our first morning in Singapore.
Highly recommended

Maximizing our experience deliciously and efficiently! - What a great personal tour we had with Leo. We were very familiar with Singapore and Malaysian food, having lived here in the region before, but still wanted to find some great food stalls, learn about Singapore, and explore a part of it with more detail and efficiency than we could do on our own. Leo provided that opportunity wonderfully. He is knowledgeable, fun, personable, and we really enjoyed learning, touring, and eating through Singapore’s Chinatown area together. We could not have had the same experience without him. Highly recommended.

Best Food Tour Ever! - Leo was exceptional! His thorough knowledge of Singapore’s history and expert selection of foods to sample made this tour so special. He’s also a great guy to hang out with. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Leo even helped us use the Metro to get back to the hotel!

An excellent time spent in Singapore - Our first time visit to Singapore and we wanted to find out more about the food and culture. We could not have made a better choice. We spent 4 hours with Leo who was the kindest and most knowledgeable host. The food that he had chosen for us to try was so enjoyable and there was not one thing that we did not enjoy. At the end of the trip we could not actually name a favourite as it was all so good but needless to say we did not eat again that night!

Late lunch with a local - We had a wonderful time exploring the food and history of Chinatown with Leo. Leo was a fabulous guide, explaining the history of the area, the changes that have happened and the plans for the future. The food was plentiful and very tasty and getting the background of the different cultural forces that have influenced it made it even more special. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to a deeper understanding of modern Singapore.

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. ❤️
