My reviews
-
There were two of us on this tour. And the tour guy felt like a friend that was showing us their favorite city. Very accommodating to changes in itinerary. And suggesting things we haven’t thought of.

Our host was professional, warm and kind. Catered the tour to our individual needs and was flexible when we wanted to make changes.

Stan was an exceptional host and guide throughout our food tour in Singapore. From the moment we began, he brought not only warmth and kindness, but also an impressive depth of knowledge about the city’s diverse culinary landscape. His passion for Singaporean food, history, and culture was infectious, and he had a remarkable ability to weave storytelling into each stop—turning every dish into a window into the city’s heritage. What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful he was with everyone in the group, making sure each person felt welcome and engaged. Whether explaining the origins of hawker traditions, pointing out subtle details in regional cooking styles, or offering local insights that only someone with deep roots could provide, Stan went above and beyond to make the experience both delicious and meaningful. It was more than just a food tour—it felt like walking the city with an old friend who wanted to share everything he loved about it. I would wholeheartedly recommend any experience led by Stan.
