Gee Soo was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He brought us to 4 areas I would never visit as a tourist. In total we tried 17 dishes! I highly recommend Gee Soo as a guide and Hello Tours

The food tour was awesome! We were able to try so much delicious food from many of the different cultures in Singapore! It truly is six hours of eating (which I personally thought was awesome). Richard, our guide, showed us so many wonderful neighborhoods and food centers in Singapore while giving us little facts about the history of the city along the way. He even had a plan of action where he was able to get food for our group & have a back up plan if any stand/restaurant was too busy or closed.
The Hawker Center was a huge highlight. Not only did we eat some AMAZING food, we also felt confident in navigating other Hawker Centers in the area.
Richard made it clear which places had bathrooms along the way (a nice perk for a long food tour). I think this tour is well worth the time and the money in Singapore.
Richard also helped everyone navigate the metro to get back to their hotels. He even walked some members of the group down to the subway (even though it was out of his way and he was getting the bus). This was so nice of him!
