It is a great way to see the city. Mix of sightseeing with food cultures. Nigel aka “Chubby Checker” was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely some food we wouldn’t have tried on our own. Plenty to eat and was great.

The food and history were amazing. Also we wanted to shop for something particular and he took us to the right place. We appreciated that.

We really enjoyed our tour. We had some delicious drinks and food from stalls that we probably would’ve never stopped at. Sujit was very knowledgeable in the history of Singapore and all the neighborhoods. We will definitely book with La Vacanza Travel again.

We had a really excellent time with Grace as our guide who was really knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this private food tour as it took us around different areas of Singapore where we tried things we wouldn’t normally. So why 4 stars and not 5? The chicken rice we had at the end was not great at all. Not tasty, and hardly any chicken. Was lucky to get two bites. So glad we ended up getting chicken rice the following day from a different place which was a night and day difference. Otherwise we’d have left Singapore with a very poor impression of the chicken rice famous dish.

Our guide was excellent. He also was extremely accommodating with changes to the itinerary (I broke my foot, so we had to adjust many details, like stairs and taking off shoes for temples). He accompanied my 16 yr old granddaughter to take pictures when I couldn’t physically do something. Just awesome!!!
