This experience was excellent from start to finish. Joanne is such a great guide. We loved every moment- we went to places we would not have visited and Joanne bought us a selection of foods to try. We were so full by the end of the tour. Great knowledge so history as well as delicious food- thank you Joanne

We recently went on a fantastic 3-hr food tour in Chinatown, Singapore , led by Joanne, a knowledgeable and engaging guide. The tour included visits to popular food centers such as Lau Pa Sat and Maxwell, where we sample a variety of local dishes like chicken,mutton and beef satay, Singapore chili crab, Hainanese chicken, rojak,popiah and pandan cake. Not only did we get to indulge in delicious food, but we also had the opportunity to explore cultural landmarks like the Thian Hock temple, Sri Mariamman HIndu Temple and the Buda Tooth Relic Temple. Our guide was not only informative but also accommodated our request, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to delve into diverse cuisines and learn more about Singapore’s rich heritage.
