Highlight of my Singapore trip! - I absolutely loved this tour! The food was in abundance and delicious and I enjoyed meeting the locals making our food. I particularly loved that any leftovers were donated to the less fortunate. It’s a great way to see the different areas that you would not get the full experience and learning about the culture without this tour. The combo of food and sightseeing was very well spaced out and Gerry (tour leader) was a lot of fun and very organised. I’ve already recommended it to anyone interested in travelling to Singapore, don’t miss out on this one!

Perfect tour - Can’t begin to express how amazing this tour is. Gerry is by far one of the coolest people my husband and I have had the pleasure meeting. Gerry’s tour is thoughtful, educational, involved, and man, the food is delicious. Gerry is clearly very knowledgeable about his culture, and everywhere you go he is not only known, but adored by the others working in the hawker stalls and the small shops along the way. He will make you feel like you’re a local too. I genuinely can’t express how thankful we were to have been able to hang out with Gerry in Singapore while on our trip. We haven’t stopped talking about it. If you’re thinking about it, I highly suggest it. He genuinely is an open book and any questions you have about the culture, whether historical or present day, he will be happy to share. Gerry, thank you again so much for just such an awesome day. I wish you and your family the best of luck, you deserve it so much! Amazing amazing!!!

Great day out. - What a great day out this was. Gerry was very well organised, informative and friendly and everything was taken care off. We got to try some fantastic food and also learn alot about the Singaporean quarters. Taking a trip on the local train and bus was an added joy. Would highly recommend this tour and can’t speak highly enough of Gerry and the way he makes this such an enjoyable experience.

Street view culture and food tour! - I really enjoyed this tour because it exceeded my expectations. Firstly Gerry was so helpful and knowledgeable and very comfortable as a tour guide. Next was being able to go to the hawkers markets and Gerry was able to get all the best dishes for us to try, this was great because there is so much to choose from. He really likes to share and discuss the different people and history of Singapore and the culture that exists here.

Just do it - I had the pleasure of joining a food tour led by Gerard, the owner and guide, exploring Chinatown, Little India and the Malaysian Quarter in Singapore. The entire experience was exceptionally well-organized. Gerard's deep knowledge of Singapore's history and culture added immense value, and his personal connections with local hawkers ensured outstanding service at every stop. This tour is absolutely worth the time and investment — I can't recommend it highly enough.
