Fantastic food tour
Our food tour in Singapore with Kristine was outstanding! She is incredibly knowledgeable, not only about Singaporean food, but also the history and culture of the city - we felt we got a 2 for 1 deal! We were lucky enough to be the only couple on the tour and Kristine carefully curated the dishes to suit us and our interests. Communication was excellent before the tour regarding what we wanted, where to meet etc. This was an unforgettable experience and we would unreservedly recommend to anyone visiting the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this review! We are delighted that Kristine curated a bespoke itinerary that catered perfectly to your interests while showcasing our hidden hawker gems. We truly appreciate your warm words and hope to host you again on your next visit to Singapore!

A great day out of the CBD
What an outstanding tour!! I've done a lot of food tours all around Europe and the US, and this was one of the best! Aaron picked us up at our hotel, asked us about our food and travel preferences, and built a whole plan around what we wanted to do/see/eat. We travelled out to the heartland of Singapore and had the most delicious dishes at the hawker store. When my aunt wanted to buy some sunglasses he even rerouted us to find her the best place to buy them, and dropped us off back at City Hall for a drink at Raffles to end our day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this review! We are glad that you enjoyed your tour with Aaron and got to try different dishes at a hawker center. We hope you have a great stay in Singapore!

Great food tour
William was a great guide for some local places that I wouldn’t have found on my own and some very tasty dishes I hadn’t had before, even after having visited Singapore a few times before.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It is wonderful to know that William showed you a whole new side of Singapore's food scene. We will be sure to pass your kind praise along to William. Thanks for choosing to explore with us again!

We thoroughly enjoyed the...
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our guide, Kristine, was fantastic. Having an opportunity to learn about the food, the vendors and the history of the Hawker areas was very educational and the food selection was delicious. Kristine was able to create a tour that suited all of our families dietary needs while still maintaining the authenticity of the menu. We would highly recommend this tour to others who wish to learn about this wonderful culinary culture.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that Kristine delivered such an educational and delicious experience for your family. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and hope you have a wonderful time in Singapore.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hidden Hawker Gems Culinary Tour in Singapore start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
