Dick is amazing! Not only did he share about the murals, he even gave us information about the preserved buildings around Chinatown. We also enjoyed the river cruise and free flow food in TungLok Orchard. An amazing day and very engaging discussion considering we share a common heritage with our tour guide. Hope more people will take this tour. It is a secret gem that will not just take you around the artistic murals of Chinatown but even it's history of olden days.

I wanted to share our fun experience at Central Perk in Chinatown, particularly trying Chandler’s Edible Helium Balloon! It was such a unique and entertaining experience - our voices changed after trying it, and we couldn’t stop laughing. As a fan of the Friends TV show, visiting Central Perk was a must, and we’re grateful we had the chance before it closed. We hope it reopens soon. I also want to give a shoutout to the friendly Filipina staff member who assisted us - she was incredibly helpful and made our visit even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience that we would recommend to others looking for a fun time.

Interesting Experience ! I'm a big fan of the murals and the guide really helped to bring me around to each of them. I definitely would have gotten lost by myself. The bot does provide landmarks and maps to make sure you won't get lost! The additional videos and history do add a nice touch to it. Also it does bring you outside of Chinatown for a surprise! Would recommend if you like going at your own pace and especially stopping for random shopping and food along the way!

Store is in the heart of Chinatown. Redemption process was easy and love the design of the packaging and the mooncakes. Good deal!

Amazing tour! Have been to SG a few times already and yet it showed me a different side I did not know. Andros did a very good job as a gamemaster. Discovered new things around Chinatown town, it's history and culture. Highly recommended!

Very traditional restaurant with more elderly dining. Food was great. Restaurant was full even on Mon. We parked at Chinatown Point. Will visit again for sure.

Had a great time touring around Chinatown with them! Though I was alone and the rain disrupted a bit, still had fun with this engaging tour. A must try if you're a foodie!
