Rondleiding door de Singaporese Kopi & Loti (Koffie en Brood) Fabriek

I usually go to Singapore without a tour. However I decided to give this tour a go when I read that it tackled the dying industries in Singapore. The tour was raw, honest, and an eye-opener. Andros the tour guide gave us insights I would never get from books nor even from the locals I personally know. I highly recommend that one should take this tour. It is an honest to goodness interesting experience.

Our guide Helen was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun by adding in quizzes then following up with in-depth information. I felt like we learnt a lot during the tour. What I also liked about the tour is that they started the trip with a local breakfast with coffee and bread from the places we were about to visit. Helen was considerate and offered my daughter Milo instead so that she feels included even though she cannot have coffee because of the caffeine content. The length of the tour was just right and I highly recommend the tour as a fun thing to do.

I have learnt and appreciate more of our local kopi and local bread makers from this tour. Tasted one of the best kopi and hainanese bread in my life, a bit sad to think that these trades are disappearing within my generation. Enjoy while they are still around!

Personally dont feel that this tour is worth what it costs. It is really just a quick walk around itinerary; there is no hands on component. The guide does not offer much additional insight other than translating what the shop owners say and helping to facilitate questions only when attendees ask.
