"It was an amazing tour with Patrick as our guide, leading us around some of the familiar parts of Singapore and fascinating us with so many interesting stories of our country's history that we were unaware of prior to the tour, and most importantly, how they relate to the foods & drinks that we sampled along the way.

The tour was well-planned and its flow was perfect. This tour is arguably one of the best we have attended out of many similar tours we have joined locally and overseas. Highly recommended, especially if you have a soft spot for local coffees and teas. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves from the start of the tour till the end.
