Dawn is the bomb!!! 10/10 experience :)
It was a wonderful experience with Dawn! She had a warm and gentle aura about her. She was very patient and diligent when going through the entire tour. She had so many recommendations outside of the tour as I had some previous knowledge of Indian culture so she tailored the experience within the means of time and my newness of being in Singapore. Thank you Dawn for the lovely experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review! We’re delighted to hear you had a wonderful experience with Dawn. Her warmth, patience, and ability to tailor the tour truly make her special. We’re glad her insights and recommendations enhanced your time in Singapore. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her.

Great tour!
This was a great tour with Kim who was very knowledgeable about the history of Singapore. We started in Chinatown and had spring rolls , pancakes and kopi ( coffee) then headed to Little India on the MRT. We visited the temple and had a delicious lunch in a restaurant which was busy with locals, always a good sign! Would definitely recommend, in fact have just booked another tour with Discova in Chiang Mai.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time on the tour with Kim. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed learning about Singapore’s history and exploring Chinatown and Little India. The food and local experiences really do make the tour special, and we’re glad you enjoyed every bit of it. We’re also thrilled to hear that you’ve booked another tour with us in Chiang Mai! We look forward to providing you with another memorable experience. Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we can't wait to welcome you again soon!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour 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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour?
+
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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour 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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Singapore Little India, Tekka Centre & Food Tastings Private Tour 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.
