Genuine & Generous Gerry - From the planning stage to the actual food tasting Gerry was extremely attentive and adjusted the food items to our dietary restrictions. We learned not just about food, but history and customs of the Indian, Malay and Chinese cultures. We had huge amounts of food so we could taste a little of everything and didn’t feel bad about eating it all because he donated it to the workers who cleaned up at the hawker centers. Wonderful tour and tastings! Bonus tip - he showed us how to use the public transportation.

Highly Recommended - more than just a food tour - Gerry was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of Singapore and its cultures. He is passionate about supporting the locals, their traditions and businesses. Visited a local restaurant in Little India and a hawker centre in Chinatown, used by the locals. Experience of local transport as well as walking. The food was amazing and we tried foods we wouldn't usually have ordered, which were delicious. Make sure you're hungry!!

Three Hawkers - Local neighborhood by a local, Gerry. Wonderful day of the Hawkers and cultures within. Off the beaten path. Not an excursion tour which makes it better. Round trip transportation.

Fun. Food and History - 3 Ethnic Neighborhoods & UNESCO Street Food / Cultural Experience Singapore A Special Food Tour 979184233 Gerry from The Cultural and Food tour completely delivered on his promise to provide an intimate immersion into Singapore’s 3 main cultures, their history in Singapore and traditional foods. His passion for the communities and their people - past and present, allowed me to feel a real connection as well. In a first food tour for me, Gerry supplemented the modern day street scenes we were experiencing with photos and information about the location’s days past. Talk about bringing history to life! There were just way too many other thinking gs I liked to mention here. It was not only one of the best food tours I’ve been on but absolutely the most fun and that is directly attributable to Gerry’s sense of fun, and passion. He is also of the best for communicating with guests before the tour as well. Thanks so much, Gerry I came away from feeling a real sense of connection to Singapore, its history and people.

Fantastic tour - What a fantastic tour!!! We had wonderful food and a walking tour complete with historical photos of the area to contrast with current time. Gerry Tan is an exceptional communicator, obviously loves his city and has taken the time to prepare fully to share with visitors lucky enough to spend the time with him. We had the best Chinese food we have ever tasted and saw sights we would never have found on our own. We had to cut the tour short, definitely our loss. Gerry was very accommodating and tailored the tour to our needs.

Put this tour at the top of your list! - Gerry was an amazing guide! With only a short time in Singapore, this tour was absolutely perfect for all the sights and flavors we wanted to experience. We got to try fantastic eateries that my husband and I probably would have never discovered on our own. What I especially loved was that it wasn't just about the food—Gerry walked us through the neighborhoods and shared the fascinating history behind each spot. If you're thinking about booking (and you definitely should), my tip is to come hungry!

Cuisine scene of Singapore - My husband and I enjoyed a small group food tour with Gerry our informative guide. Gerry’s passion for supporting local family food Hawkers was impressive. The food we ate was delicious and authentic to Chinese, Indian and Arab cuisines. Thank you, Gerry, for a wonderful introduction to the foods and history of the multi-racial population of Singapore.
