"I wanted an individual, personally curated tour by a real local with a passion for all Singapore has to offer. We visited little India, Chinatown and two hawker locales. The range of foods was stunning, a real sensory delight. Hot, spicy, cooling, always fascinating and included the Michelin star hawker stall Popian. I could not have asked for more. On top of that, Adam was interesting and knowledgable about Singapore in general. Fabulous tour."

Highly recommended
"Grayson was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging, he provided the history of the areas we visited and explanations about the delicious food we tried. It was a great taste of what locals eat and places that the guidebooks don’t mention and Grayson kindly wrote down a list of all the things we tried so I can look for them again. What a wonderful way to learn more about Singapore’s cultures and traditions and how food unites everyone."

Excellent Experience
"My wife and I had the recent pleasure of going on Grayson’s food sampling tour of Singapore. He was very engaging and knowledgeable regarding the history, culture and architecture of this wonderful city. The variety of foods sampled during the tour really capped off the experience. Grayson was very attentive and I would not hesitate to recommend his tour to anyone wanting to learn about Singapore and its great Hawker food scene."
Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors, exotic scents, and rich traditions of Little India, Singapore. This unique enclave is a sensory explosion waiting to be discovered. Let a local guide you through the heart of Little India for an authentic and unforgettable experience.
History of Singapore's Little India
Little India's history dates back to the 1840s. It wasn't planned by Stamford Raffles but grew organically as a settlement for Indian laborers and traders. Its heritage is deeply rooted in cattle trading and brick kilns, shaping its unique layout and character.
Culture in Little India: Temples & Traditions
The cultural heart of Little India is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. Built in 1881, it's dedicated to the fierce goddess Kali. Its stunning architecture and vibrant ceremonies offer a deep dive into Hindu culture right in the middle of Singapore.
Taste the Flavors of Little India
Prepare your taste buds for an adventure in Little India! From savory fish head curry and biryani to sweet treats like gulab jamun, the food scene is incredible. Don't miss trying a 'teh tarik' (pulled tea) from a local stall for an authentic taste.
Local Life in Little India: Mustafa Centre
A must-visit is the Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour shopping mecca in Little India. It's a local habit to browse its sprawling floors for everything from gold jewelry and electronics to spices and textiles at any time of day or night. It's a true Singapore experience.

Yummy tour of Singapore
"We loved our tour with Grayson! He was super kind and knowledgeable about the city and culture of Singapore and showed us some hidden gems and facts while moving from one tasting place to the next. The food he chose for us was amazing!! We were pleasantly surprised: the food he gave us was simple but it was so yummy, traditional and something we would have never tried on our own! We tried something from the Muslim Malay cuisine, the Indian one and the Chinese cuisine and Grayson explained every dish to us with the history behind. Every dish was spot on!
We really recommend doing a tasting tour with Grayson! "

Great food tour
"Joisse gave us a fantastic introduction to Singapore through the country’s extraordinary food. She took very good care of us, factoring in a couple of food intolerances easily, and found us things to try that we’d not encountered before, which as a pair of foodies was quite something. She also followed up with answers to a couple of questions the next day. We’d strongly recommend her as a guide. "
"Ron was an amazing guide. Extremely knowledgable in Singapore history and Singapore food. We had an amazing time with him and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend him to everybody. His English is also excellent, which was great because that’s all we speak. Thank you, Ron for an amazing experience.

"Myself and 3 others had a full day in Singapore and we wanted a food tour with a bit of local highlights included. William met us at our hotel and for several hours we had the most delightful time. William is a gentleman and overall great guy. I highly recommend booking him if he’s available when you are in the area."
"We had a quite exceptional tour with Arthur. He really brought the whole history and story of Singapore to life. We booked the three hour tour and Arthur warned us that it really isn’t long enough and he was quite correct. I would highly recommend the five hour tour and definitely select Arthur!"
"We had a wonderful walking tour of Singapore with William as our guide. He was extremely informative and clearly very proud of his country, which made the experience even more enjoyable. His knowledge of Singapore’s history, culture, and local life was impressive, and he shared it in a very engaging and easy-to-understand way.
William also took the time to show us how the public transport system works, explaining how to use it and helping us understand the best ways to get around the city. This was incredibly helpful for the rest of our stay.
For anyone interested in learning about Singapore’s local food, culture, and history, I would highly recommend William as a guide. He made the tour both interesting and enjoyable, and we came away with a much better understanding of the city."
"Roy was an excellent and very friendly guide who took us to three areas including food courts in both the Chinese and Indian neighbourhoods A great variety of local dishes and a wonderful way to visit the city. Highly recommended!"
