What Our Travelers Say

The Michelin & Local Hawker Food Tour was more than food, it was culture, history, and passion. Our guide’s enthusiasm gave us confidence to explore hawker centers on our own later. Highlights included dining at Hawker Chan’s restaurant and original stall. By the end we’d sampled so much and felt completely satisfied. A must-do for anyone visiting Singapore.

On our honeymoon, the Michelin & Local Hawker Food Tour was unforgettable. Eric took us to hawker stalls and hidden food gems, plus historic spots in Chinatown. We tried a wide range of dishes and left very full. For a 3.5-hour tour it was excellent value, giving us food, culture, and memories that made our trip truly special. Highly recommend.
