Great Introduction to Singapore’s Hawker culture
Our tour guide was great! YC was extremely knowledgeable about food and Singaporean history. The food was waiting for us and we didn’t have to stand in long queues to wait. The best!

5 stars
We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour! Marcus and Vick were our tour guides, and they did a fantastic job showing us everything Chinatown has to offer. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion made the entire experience both fun and memorable. We visited several hawker centers and other interesting spots, where we got to explore the amazing local cuisine while learning about the rich culture, history, and traditions behind it. It was so much more than just a food tour—it was an opportunity to truly experience and appreciate the heart of Chinatown. Marcus and Vick made the tour engaging, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. Their hospitality and expertise really made the experience special! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, culture, and history. Whether you're visiting for the first time or simply want to discover more about Chinatown, this tour is absolutely worth it. You won't be disappointed! 😁

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $87 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 Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 2,887 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings?
+
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 Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings?
+
Around 1,010 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group: Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour with 9 tastings 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.
