Singapore Private Food, Culture and Heritage Tour with 9 tastings
Overview
Discover Singapore’s vibrant flavours and cultural stories on this Private Food, Culture & Heritage Tour. The 4-hour tour gives you the essentials: two heritage districts, delicious food tastings, and a relaxed exploration of the city centre, all paced comfortably for a rich, memorable introduction to the city.
Your journey begins in Chinatown before continuing into either Little India or Kampong Glam, each offering its own personality through spices, street art and local snacks like savoury Thosai or traditional pastries. The experience ends with the Singapore City Highlights, where Marina Bay, the riverfront and historic bridges reveal how Singapore evolved into the modern metropolis you see today.
