About this activity

On our Secret Food Tour: Singapore you’ll see and eat the best the city has to offer. Walk through gardens, shopping malls, skyscrapers, and its hawker centers; covered markets where you can find amazing food of all kinds. We'll visit a local market, teach you about the surrounding architecture, and show you the hidden gems where locals eat that you won't find in any guidebooks.

At the end of your tour, you'll have sampled some of Singapore's most delicious dishes and gained a better understanding of our culture and history.

As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience. No need to shout over other tourists, you will have every question answered, and leave feeling like a native yourself!
