The perfect start to our Singapore adventures! - Rachel is the absolute best! This was an incredible way to kickoff our time in Singapore - not only did we enjoy some great bites, but we also learned so much about Singapore culture and day-to-day life. Rachel also helped us feel comfortable using the MRT trains, which was so helpful for the rest of our time. Rachel is kind, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. We cannot recommend her more highly!!

Superb Food Tour in Singapore - We booked this Singapore Street Food Tour and enjoyed every moment. Our guide Rachel met us at our hotel promptly as scheduled and did a really fantastic job. She also moved at a comfortable pace, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the tour. After boarding the local metro, we began in Chinatown and finished in Little India (...just as was described in the booking). Each tasting - Laksa soup, Crispy Curry Puffs, Hainanese Chicken, Roti Prata, and more! - were all delicious and provided interesting insights into the cultural, historical aspects of Singapore. In addition to the food tasting at the popular "hawker" food centers, we also enjoyed our stop for kaya toast at the "Nanyang Old Coffee" house which surprisingly included a charming coffee museum (exhibit) upstairs dedicated to preserving the Singaporean coffee culture. We booked this tour originally because it appeared to be a better balance of food and culture. With the inclusion of the food tastings and Temple stops along the way, the tour did not disappoint and exceeded all expectations. Our guide Rachel was both wonderful and very knowledgeable of the food and Singaporean culture. Highly recommend this tour (...with Rachel if possible!), especially if you have only a few short days to experience Singapore.

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.

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.
