Is This Tour Worth It?
This food & hawker tours activity is highly rated at 4.8/5 across 26 reviews, running 3 hours from $52 per person.
With a nation comprised of diaspora from China, Malaysia, India, and the rest of Southeast Asia, it's no surprise that Singapore's street food is some of the yummiest in the world. With so much to get your tastebuds acquainted with, the only sensible option is to hop on a bike and munch your way across the city's food scene. Sample mouthwatering fare in Chinatown, then bike over to the Malay Kampong Glam, before rounding the trip off in Little India. Variety is literally the spice of life!
Taste the magic with unlimited ice cream spanning 5 different types as you journey through the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore. Connect with your friends and family through day and night activities hosted by talented guides. Learn all about ice cream and its history across 14 multi-sensory installations. Play in the world-famous sprinkle pool and reminisce about your childhood in the special unicorn playground. There's even a welcome drink for night time visitors. The kid in you will thank you!
Wet your whistle with a Singapore drinks tour and get in touch with the soul of the Lion City. First, you'll be introduced to the Singapore Marina Barrage, a magnificent engineering feat that acts as a flood control system through the crest gates of the dam. Once you’ve taken in the breathtaking panoramic views at the Barrage, it’s off to a local drinks stall where you sample local drinks such as sugarcane juice, bandung (rose syrup with milk), milo dinosaur and teh tarik. Watch the experts as they pull tarik tea to cool it and give your drink a bubbley foam finish. And finally, get a hands-on cocktail-making session with mixologists at the famed Martini Bar, and concoct the signature LycheeTini. So raise your glasses! Cheers! Prost! Salute! Gan Bei!
Hungry? HawkerWalk is a tasty tour designed to share the stories, passion and grit of Singapore's hardy local hawker heroes. Combining behind-the-scenes experiences and stories of the city's hawkers, you'll beat your rumbling tum and gain a deeper appreciation of the grit and sweat the last of these hawkers still endure to deliver some of the city's most revered, traditional dishes. Learn why snacks have weird names like ‘kill the riding horse’, or ‘pig ear biscuit’. Sample the Asian version of a granola bar and French fries, and sample all kinds of delicious local foods you may not have discovered on your own. The tour includes a snacks and food bundle worth up to $20.
Unlike most food tour that’ll bring you to the Hawker centers. This food and bike tour bring you around Singapore downtown, cycling thru 3 different ethnic quarters – Chinatown, Little India & Kampong Glam. From food stalls to stall, get to eat at least 8 different local, authentic Singapore delicacies – chicken rice, kaya toast and eggs, pandan cake, popiah, roti prata, and other surprises! We guarantee you’ll be stuffed by the end of the tour, so remember to come hungry.

Feel the Heartbeat: A Singapore Chinatown Walking Tour
#Snaps #Eats #Vibes We aim for our tour to have all of the above in addition to ensuring that the walking tour is comfortable and enjoyable. Why a guided tour with Istoria? Why not? Why spend excessive time and energy navigating? Guests will start the tour with a shared food tasting experience of a local dish, before proceeding with the exploration of Chinatown itself. The selected route is a curated journey where we gain an appreciating of the stories frames by the shophouses and murals, each facade echoing the resilience of generations. Together, we will explore the vibes of Chinatown. Finally, we will conclude the tour with a Chinese tea session, a deliberate mindful pause as we slow down & savor aromas. That's what a holiday is supposed to be.
