EXPERIENCE SINGAPORE WHILE CYCLING
Getting to know Singapore better has never been as fun and exciting.
Let our experienced guides take you on a learning journey that will open your eyes to the heart of Singapore.
Find out about how history shaped our land, government and people as well as what holds the different cultures and people together.
Understand how we conceptualised and planned a green and sustainable city while balancing a high quality of life with nature and conservation efforts.
Exploring a new city by bicycle will push you to use all your senses and interact more deeply with each place. Instead of passively looking through the barrier of the glass window of a vehicle, you will feel the cool breeze in your hair and smell the authentic scents of food, flowers and nature.
Pedal down smaller roads and explore places off the beaten track that no car can follow and feel the wonder of nature as you cycle through lush paths in a park.
Along the journey, you can savour the delicacies and local food that we will introduce you to, made more memorable as we share their histories and background.

We promise you will leave us with a deeper insight and appreciation of the Singapore way of life.

Our Testimonials
A walking food tour is one of the very best investments of time wherever you are and this was one of the best.The tour with Leo was fantastic. I won't tell you what we did because that would spoil the surprise of how this tour opens out to make you appreciate Singapore on so many levels. He also introduced us to food that some Singaporean foodie friends had never even heard of. Top marks Leo. When I return I will do it all over again!
Highly recommend this tour! I've been to a Singapore a few times after this trip and still very much remember everything I learned during my time with Leo (sorry for late review). Not only do you get the taste, but you get to learn about the culture and future of Singapore. A must do for all and great for all ages! 😀
Leo who led our tour fulfilled many of our needs. He gave a comprehensive account of the development of Singapore, provided us with a range of foodstuffs typical of the country and answered all our questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. By enabling us to spend time (4hrs +) with a citizen of this amazing country we felt we were more than just mere visitors looking around, we felt we were truly engaging with it. Other reviews give an accurate account of what is provided ie a visit to Singapore Gallery, an incredible marketand various places to eat in or near Chinatown. There were only 4 of us on this tour which gave us ample opportunity to ask our many questions that Leo answered fully. A wonderful experience.
Leo you're amazing! I am so glad that we did this tour at the beginning of our holiday. Leo is so knowledgable and passionate about his country and his enthusiasm is infectious. My husband and I learnt so much about Singapore as it is today and the food was wonderful. Gave us the confidence to tackle the hawker centers and sample some wonderful food during our vacation. Thanks so much Leo!
