Great local food tour of Chinatown and Little India - We signed up with Rachel for the private Singapore street food tour and had a lovely time. Rachel was very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to a coffee museum, which was fascinating, before moving on to Chinese hawker markets, a Buddhist temple and another hawker centre in Little India. At each venue she purchased local dishes for us to try and explained their history and relevance to the area. We also visited other local areas with her where she explained the culture and history of living in Singapore. Would 100% recommend booking a tour with Rachel.

Best foodie experience! Worth every cent! - We had the best day experiencing the local delights across Chinatown and Little India! Rachel customised our tour to suit us and the food selections were incredible!!! We got to learn about the local history of Singapore and visit a place of worship. Worth every penny and thank you a hundred times over, Rachel for the best day exploring your city 😊

A brilliant and fun insight into Singapore’s food, culture and history. Couldn’t recommend it more highly! - We had a terrific and fun few hours with Rachel, who shared her knowledge and respect for Singapore’s food and diverse culture in such an informed, engaging and entertaining way. As you would hope on a food tour, we went to places we would never have found otherwise, and tasted food and drink we would never have known how to order. A fabulous experience.

Amazing food - amazing tour - amazing host! - We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and is highly recommended.
Rachel the owner was excellent in the booking process and questions answered as needed.
Our host for the day Kelvin was brilliant. He arrived on time and looked after us attentively for the whole day.
The food was varied ….lots to sample…you won’t like everything but that’s the fun of trying lots of dishes!
We walked, got a bus and went on the underground ….. felt like a local….which was the whole point of choosing this tour.
If you only have a couple of days to enjoy Singapore….this is certainly a tour to consider. 10/10.

Great Tastings - Corliss was great. She didn’t rush us , explained the history and cultures so we had a good understanding about the people of Singapore. The food choices were varied and delicious and she made a special effort to make sure I had special things to eat with my dietary restrictions. She spoke slowly and was easily understandable.

No crazy rich asians here- just a genuine Singapore local sharing her stories and food with you. - From the moment we booked the tour, Rachel liked after us like royalty! Great info about the tour and friendly reminders. The tour itself is an excellent mix of food (all of it delicious and accompanied with interesting stories about it) and culture and really brings a personal aspect to Singapore. We had one day in Singapore and this was a fantastic way to spend it! Definitely recommend- you’ll have fun with Rachel.
