5.00We did the tour with Jason on Saturday, he was extremely impressive explaining and showing us so many things regarding all the beautiful heritage sights he took us to. He was also very generous with filling our belly’s with some delicious local food, with many we had never tried before! Excellent afternoon and we would highly recommended this company to people wanting to discover the real Singapore. Thank Jason for a fantastic afternoon 👏👏

5.00We loved this tour. Jason was an exceptional guide who was knowledgeable, informative and very personable. We tried a huge variety of food including some durian fruit and teh tarik (Malaysian tea). We could have had more but we were too full. We thoroughly recommend this tour and better yet, it's reasonably priced. No need to think twice, just book it.
Great introduction to Singapore!

5.00We ended up with a private tour which allowed for excellent conversation and a deeper dive into the life of a Singaporean. So many food offerings--a 5 course meal at Maxwell Food Centre, cake, tea, durian, and a Kaya breakfast to finish off the tour. Made for a perfect first day in Asia!

5.00The small group walking tour with Jason exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the heritage into the local area was brilliant and he provided us with a good variety of different street food to sample. Jason had a great sense of humour which made it a fun and informative tour. The Chicken Rice and the Laksa were my favourite from all the samples. We can definitely recommend this tour.
A worthy trip to Chinatown

5.00Jason was a brilliant guide for us. He assembled a brilliant selection of food from Maxwell Hawker including queuing up for the Tian Tian Chicken and Rice. Jason explained each dish weaving Singapore history through the food for us. After the food we then went a tour of China Town and Jason had amazing knowledge of the area, especially the Budda Tooth Temple. Would highly recommend this tour.
