“We went out on tour with Heng who was just great. Very open, warm and friendly with heaps of local insight. We particularly liked the supplied headsets/earpiece for clear listening amongst the background hubbub of Singapore. Heng's use of historic photos and laser pointer added to the experience. The food was of course tasty, interesting and varied. If you want a mountain of food then this isn't the right tour for you, but for tastes, difference and just a good experience then book in and enjoy the night ! We certainly did.”
