This was our funnest day out in our few night stay in Singapore. Gerry was both a true local and highly clued up on showing foreigners a great time, building rapport with lots of humour. This tour takes you deep into some of the lesser travelled parts of Singapore, including Little India, Chinatown and Malaya town. There was a great balance of fun facts and serious cultural backdrop in Gerry’s approach. The food was top notch, with a lot of dishes and stalls we wouldn’t have known about. It was also great to hear the stories of the hawker stand owners. Would hands down recommend fitting into however long your Singapore trip is - thanks so much!

Gerry created a rapport with and between the group. He made sure we were comfortable at all times. There was plenty of food, conversation and learning about the culture of Singapore and the different ethnic groups that call Singapore home. Well worth the money and time.

I can’t speak highly enough of this tour, hosted by Gerry. It was so well put together from beginning to end. Gerry contacted us the day prior to the tour to confirm pickup details. Our tour consisted of interesting facts /details regarding Singapore and the areas of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. We were able to sample a variety of street foods from these areas…absolutely delicious and so much more than we could eat !!! We were impressed with Gerry’s attention to detail and how well the tour was paced……walking and sharing of information with our breaks/food stops along the way. Using the MRT and bus during the tour gave us the confidence to use this transport during the rest of our holiday. This tour is a MUST and we would definitely choose to do it again.
