I have done food tours all over the world, but his food tour was amazing! I kept telling the tour guide Pam - that I was so impressed with this tour. Because we visited so many neighborhoods in this tour, I felt that I got to see Singapore in ways I would not on my own. This tour is a must do in Singapore and Pam was so knowledgable and very dynamic.

This tour was one of my favorite tours and a highlight of my trip to Singapore - highly recommend the tour with Pam as your tour guide! It was a great way to see the different cultural influences in Singapore and try a wide variety of dishes while getting some exercise. Communication: - Clear instructions were provided on the meeting location along with an introduction to our guide. - After the tour concluded, we received a follow up email from Pam with a recap of our tour, photos taken, the dishes we ate, locations visited, and a few of her favorite restaurants around the city. Tour: - Our group had a total of 7 people, which was the perfect size. At the beginning of the tour, Pam asked everyone to share a bit about themselves (name, where they're from, any allergies, and what dish they hope to try while in Singapore). I appreciated that approach as I look forward to meeting new people as a solo traveler and not all tours take the time to get to know everyone. - The tour was primarily centered around the Katong and Kampong Glam areas. This included a stop to view the Peranakan houses, Sultan Mosque and Haji Lane. Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes - Bring a poncho in case it rains - Bring water or you can buy water while on the tour - Tips for your guide are not included, but appreciated - If the tour is fully booked, I recommend contacting the company to check on any last minute changes to availability. I emailed two companies and both were able to accommodate my last minute request. I would definitely recommend this tour and will go on the same tour again next time I'm in Singapore.

Su Ling was a fabulous guide, very knowledgeable and articulate about each neighborhood. She was attentive and considerate — one member of our group had dietary restrictions, so she skillfully worked those into the menu as we went. She took photos at each stop and sent them to us at the end of the tour, which was very thoughtful. The tour was well organized. There was variety in both the food and the types of eateries, with a good pacing for drinks and frequent air-conditioning. The tour included the charges for food and a bus ride between neighborhoods, making it faster and more convenient than doing it on our own. Highly recommended!

Pamela was an excellent tour guide and really showed us a wonderful experience of Singapore as we traveled across four different neighborhoods and got a taste of the local cuisines of each area. Pam also shared a lot of historical and other facts that made the tour well worth it. Met a great group of folks that made this an awesome experience!

Great food in lots of different places and lots of info about Singapore. Although 6h was a bit of a food marathon and the longest food tour I've ever had it was great.
