Singapore: Chinatown Food Tour with 6 Tastings (Self-Guided Hunt)

Unique date idea

A really unique date idea where we got to solve puzzles on our phones to unlock our next dining location. I’ve been to Chinatown countless times, but this experience made me realise how many spots I’ve overlooked. It was a fun way to rediscover the area while learning more about its history and heritage through a foodie hunt.

Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that you found the experience unique and interactive throughout. It’s great that you were able to discover new venues in Chinatown and found it educational. Your recommendation of it being a good date idea is spot on, especially for couples with a fun, competitive nature! Your feedback means a lot, and we look forward to seeing you try more of our mazes in the future. Best regards, The Gourmaze Team

No guide!

Wow, it was not clear from this description that this is not a guided tour. There is no guide and it’s basically a food scavenger hunt through Chinatown. Sorry. No thanks. Not worth the price for this dialed in experience.

Response from the operator: Hi, thanks for your feedback and we’re sorry there was any confusion. In the What To Expect section, we do state: “This is a self-guided experience where you explore with your team, following clues sent via WhatsApp. There is no tour guide and no fixed group. You go at your own pace”. Gourmaze is designed as a food treasure hunt rather than a traditional guided tour, which many of our guests enjoy for the flexibility and interactive element. That said, we really appreciate your feedback and will continue looking at ways to make this even clearer for future guests.

Great Way to Explore Singapore’s Chinatown!

I cannot recommend the Gourmaze Singapore Food Trail highly enough, Being new to Singapore - we decided to explore Chinatown with Gourmaze and I am so glad we did! The trail has been very well researched and leads you to discover not only the key highlights of the district but also reveals interesting topical and historical titbits and makes you actually look around to notice the hidden delights. The clues and puzzles are challenging without being tediously complex and led to discussion and laughter. There are easy to access clues if you need them!! I was surprised at the variety of the foodstops -- and they tempted us to try some great Singaporean specialities. I would not want to spoil the fun by revealing any more but we experienced some delightful destinations we may not otherwise have discovered. Do try the Gourmaze trail - great fun at a very reasonable price!

Response from the operator: Hello Mavis, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had so much fun completing the maze! It’s wonderful to hear that you discovered new venues, learned something along the way, and found the clues well thought out and just the right level of difficulty. It’s also great to know that you enjoyed the food items and venues included in the experience. Your feedback means a lot and we look forward to seeing you try more of our mazes in the future. Best regards, The Gourmaze Team

Fab fun for tourists and locals alike

I’m visiting Singapore from London, staying with a local friend and we just had the best time doing Gourmaze together. It’s such a great way to explore Chinatown and be exposed to its culture and traditions. You get to visit sites and streets you might otherwise pass by and the six organised stops are brilliant, including SG-iconic super tasty treats. Me the tourist and my resident friend had loads of fun solving the clues and riddles and we both learned lots about Singapore’s history along the way. Amazing value too.
