- lizzyc690 contributionsLovely LindaLinda was a great tour guide she took us to some local spots and then round the Marina Bay Area which was lovely in the evening all lit up, she was very knowledgeable and informative, she also went out of her way to make sure we called a can and got in it safely before leaving Didn’t give 5 stars as the food wasn’t what we were expecting a bit too much bread and an Indian with roti and sauce where as it could have been more authentic , the last stop with chicken satay and noodles was great though, emailed the company beforehand saying my friend was vegetarian but they said they couldn’t cater for that which was surprising given half the world is such ! we wanted to do the tour anyway for the information on the city luckily Linda was on hand to make sure there was a few things she could have wanted to doWritten 12 September 2024

Edwin and Cherie did an amazing tour for us today! Such an interesting combo of food, history and it was all delicious. We’ve been to Singapore before but this is such a different way to seeing the city and helping to navigate hawker stalls so I’d recommend even to self proclaimed foodies!

This is a great 3 hours of Hawker food, culture and history. Gene and his intern Isaac made a very knowledgeable and entertaining team with information about more than just Hawker food. We visited 3 different Hawker centres with a couple of side diversions such as a fruit stall in one of the markets. Gene also had suggestions about other places to visit in the area; and even helped one couple with the MRT.

Linda is passionate about local food! She carries the good old auntie style to make sure the group is well fed, appreciate the hard work and dedication behind the delicious food that ultimately represents the true spirit of Singapore. The food tour also saved us hours of time to queue up for popular food stalls. Great experience!!

This tour exceeded our expectations. Edwin our guide was so lovely and knowledgeable as we made our way across three hawker centres in Singapore. The food experienced was out of this world and we definitely left feeling full, happy and satisfied. As we tasted Michelin Hawker Hut dishes we were able to avoid long lines with this tour. Highly recommend if you are wanting to taste incredible, high quality Singapore dishes but don’t know where to start!
Thank you for a wonderful day!

Our guide Leonard was entertaining, knowledgeable and informative. Explaining the many variations of foods on offer, as well as the history and stories associated with the hawker stands. Leonard gave us a brief food break as we walked through a bustling marketplace. We then toured the Singapore City Gallery, where he explained the many interesting displays of the past, present, and future of Singapore and its citizens. Brains fed, we ventured back to the stands for more food and a final dessert treat! A very enjoyable and filling tour!

Gene was a very informative and enthusiastic guide.
Easy meet up point at the China Town MRT station entrance.
We enjoyed the tour very much.
There is a lot of food to eat, and plenty of drinks supplied.
Gene took us through a lot of the China Town area which was very interesting and colourful, and was happy to answer any questions on Singapore in general also.
His local input on trying different dishes from recommended hawker stalls was very beneficial. There was a definite benefit gained from this tour if you wish to eat at Hawker Centres when you are in Singapore. We didn't realise that the stalls have to show their cleanliness rating on the front of each stall, so always look for a A or B rated stall to ensure cleanliness.
His insight into the Michelin Star rating system was beneficial also.
Even if you're not a foodie, you'll enjoy this tour as I did.

Gene was an excellent guide and he took us to many places we wouldn’t have found without insider knowledge. There were long queues at some of the hawkers but Gene had already pre-booked food or knew the owners to get served first. He was full of enthusiasm and had a great knowledge about where we were and about what we were eating. We ate and drank our way through Chinatown and Gene was on a mission to ensure we were satisfied (both with the food and with all our questions). It was a small group of 4 which was perfect. I would recommend this tour to any visitor.

We had a wonderful experience on our food tour with Andrew! He was very warm and welcoming, making everyone in the group feel at ease. Andrew's extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing what he knew truly enriched the experience. He wasted no time in imparing his facts, waiting for green lights was a great opportunity for more facts. There was an abundance of delicious food—so much that I didn't eat again until lunchtime the following day! Be sure to come hungry. Highly recommend this tour with Andrew!

My partner and I did the tour today and expected to taste some food and hear a little bit about it but the tour was way beyond all of our expectations. Simon was our guide and is local to Singapore and he told us so much about the food plus the background and culture of the areas we visited - and was just a great guy to have a chat to! All of the food was amazing but our guide Simon was really the highlight, he does what he does with so much love and passion. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough!!

Although we are mighty proud of our local food and the itinerary we designed for our guests, our local guides are what make our tours unique 😁 Thank you for your wonderful 5star review and your appreciation! Simon would be pleased to know that he did a great job. And we are so glad that our food & cultural tour has exceeded your expectations!
Hope you fell in love with Singapore a little through the eyes of our local guide and our delicious local foods. Wishing you a most lovely vacation! ~Love from the Monster team~

Is the tour also suitable for people who prefer a vegetarian/seafood diet? (No chicken, no beef etc). 🌱
Written 17 November 2022
Would like to know if there is an alternate time for this tour, only have 24hrs in Singapore 🙈
Written 22 January 2020
The tour guide was excellent. We were the only ones on the tour so it was very tailored to our tastes. The Michellin Star Chicken Rice was a little disappointing and felt like 'Maccas' in its 'line up and eat and leave' with no atmosphere.
Saying that, it was very popular and there was nothing wrong with the dish itself.
The other local hawker foods were much better as we like going to local places. Overall the experience was very good.

Hello
It states that this tour is not suitable for people with back problems. Is it due to the walking or is there something else that I should be aware of?
Written 28 August 2019
There is walking involved - so that could be the reason that this may not be suitable for people with serious back issues.
