Overall, Arthur was a great tour guide. Although not everything went completely smoothly (certain restaurants were closed, which was not his fault of course), he adjusted well on the fly. His enthusiasm for Singapore (not just the food but the city as a whole) is infectious. Two things to bear in mind if you are thinking about booking him. First, Arthur likes to take his time, so he prefers to spend 5 hours on the food tour rather than 3. To me, this was a bonus, as I got a longer tour for the same price and could eat at a more relaxed pace. I just thought I should mention this for those who are more in a rush or find a 5 hour tour to be too long/tiring. Second, unlike most tour guides who keep their personal views to themselves, Arthur is quite open and speaks his mind on issues of personal beliefs, politics, etc. Personally, I did not mind this, even if he and I do not share the same views on everything, and I would not let this deter you from choosing Arthur. Again, just something to bear in mind. Overall, a very pleasant half-day trip with an affable host and some amazing Chinese, Malay and Indian food!
