My wife & I booked Arthur for a four hour “street food” tour while we were in Singapore early January, 2023. Arthur arrived at our Conrad hotel, on time & reviewed our very fun, interesting & delicious itinerary. Arthur was very knowledgeable about the local island history, customs & diverse culture of folks inhabiting the island. We headed to three historical sections where we sampled the delicious foods & drinks that he purchased for us to sample he would share local information about the current government’s policies & how they impacted the locals. Arthur gave us quiet time to enjoy the foods after explaining the food’s origins. Arthur was kind enough to allow us a little shopping time to buy couple of forgotten items for our cruise. We definitely recommend Arthur highly for his tour services & very warm & patient attitude. He took several photos for us when our phones died & sent them to us later! Yes, hire Arthur if you can.

Chan, our guide, was brilliant. He was so knowledgeable of the districts we visited and enthusiastic for Singapore in general. If you want a great guide ask for Chan. In general the tour started early to avoid the heat of the day and avoid crowds. We used the MRT to travel between the districts so walking was probably about 3kms and so very manageable. Would do the same.e tour again because there is so much to still learn about the areas.

Excellent experience! It was a fantastic opportunities to explore Singapore in details. Touring staff was kind and knowledgeable. I would definitely taking this tour again when I visit Singapore again!

I had a great time on my tastings tour with William. The food was excellent and we even covered some island history which was really appreciated. One of the highlights of my trip to Singapore.

An informative tour of the ‘real’ Singapore - one many visitors would never see. Our guide Joisse (Joyce) was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun
