Cần Quan Tâm
Chinatown
The experience starts off with an exploration of Chinatown where you will get to soak in the sights of the Chinatown neighbourhood. Stories will be shared of it's history capturing the struggles of early Chinese immigrants, their trials and tribulations of making ends meet in a rough neighbourhood filled with vices like opium, gambling, prostitution, and death. These buildings still stand today. Old images will be shown where you will see the quick transformation of Singapore's development from the past to the present day. We will also be visiting a hawker centre and get to sample locally popular Singapore Chinese street food cuisines, and at the same time experience the local way of life that has been around for the past decades.
Little India
In Little India, you will be brought around the area where the vibrancy of colour from street stalls selling fresh fruit & vegetables, flower garland markets, traditional clothing stores, and incense shops will charm your senses. It is due to these trades and other opportunities that had inspired the early Indian community to move from the original Little India near the old seafront, up here where water buffalos used to roam the swampy area. We will be visiting a hawker market here and get to sample a variety of Pakistani, North Indian & Indian Muslim street food cuisines, and experience the exciting vibrancy of the Indian community having their daily meals here.

5.00I had the absolute pleasure of taking a cultural tour today with Gerry, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. He took me through Chinatown, Little India, and Little Malay, sharing rich history, fascinating stories, and hidden gems along the way. Gerry is incredibly thoughtful and attentive, making sure the entire experience felt personal and engaging. I truly appreciate his time, knowledge, and the opportunity to see the city through his eyes. This was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever done, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable cultural experience!

5.00This tour is brilliant. After being picked up at your hotel, we spent 6 hours touring various Singaporean areas to see local culture and taste local cuisine. Our guide Jerry was insightful, helpful and generous. Did we want more drinks? A beer? More food? Of course we could! He answered all our questions on Singapore while showing us some modern quirks. Importantly, his voice was very clear and forceful, making him easy to hear. He even answered a question I sent him in satay the next day! The food was plentiful, varied, and utterly delicious. This is a more expensive tour, but I did a second, shorter one the next day and the additional cost of this one was worth it. More food, more variety, more information/history, a better guide and more concern for the guests. Also, they cap the group size. I would really recommend this as your introduction to Singapore for any new visitor.

5.00Gerry, our funny, friendly knowledgeable food tour guide for six hours, gave a great introduction to the food, culture, and history of Singapore. It was great to go to Hawker stalls visited by locals, not tourists. He came prepared with plates, paper napkins, and a very well put together presentation on his iPad of food and history. His English was excellent and humor hilarious. One of the best tour guides we’ve ever had from Viator. Highly recommended.
Just do it !

5.00Gerry was a fabulous guide, great fun, very knowledgeable and looked after us so well. Way too much food but all very tasty. So much information about the various cultural groups and history and always happy to answer questions. Reasonable amount of walking involved but also opportunities to sit down. I'd highly recommend this tour.
Amazing, brilliant, delicious!
