1 in Katong / Joo ChiatJunction of East Coast Rd & Joo Chiat Rd A 4.9-star average across hundreds of reviews. Our walkers come for the neighbourhoods and remember the guides.
Foot-powered tours, small groups and local stalls. We keep our walks gentle on the neighbourhoods we love and the people who live in them.
Free walks really are free — tip what you feel. Paid walks list a clear per-pax price with the tastings included, no surprises at the end.
We pace it like a walk with a mate, not a march behind a flag. Ask anything, duck down a side lane, stop for kopi. The stories come out when nobody’s rushing.
Every Kaki guide actually lives the stories — they grew up in these neighbourhoods or have made them home for years. You get the resident’s version, not a recited script.
We cap our walks small so they stay personal. Ask anything, wander a little, and get a tour that bends around the people on it — never a flag-following march.
Half of understanding Singapore is eating it. Tastings are built into most walks, and the free tours always end with a steer to the right plate nearby.
A taste of the menu — food walks, heritage strolls and after-dark suppers. Every one is small-group, led by a local, and priced with the tastings included.

Meeting point:
Walk times are indicative — they assume a steady neighbourhood pace and don’t count tasting and rest breaks, so a full trail usually runs a little longer on the day. The per-pax figure covers food tastings and paid entries only; the guiding itself is on a pay-what-you-feel basis for free-tour neighbourhoods. We confirm the final plan and price with you over WhatsApp before you come. Kaki Walks is a fictional demo brand built by SGBP.
I’ve lived here all my life and still learned things on the Katong walk. Daryl knew the laksa rivalry inside out and the kueh stop was a highlight. Small group, lots of room to ask questions. Brought my parents and they loved it too.
We almost skipped a free tour expecting it to be basic — so glad we didn’t. Our guide grew up in Chinatown and the stories were brilliant. Tipped generously because it was worth far more. Best ninety minutes of our Singapore trip.
Did the night food walk on our first evening and it set the tone for the whole holiday. Prata cooked in front of us, a 9pm hawker queue we’d never have found, and a chendol to finish. Faridah’s team made us feel like locals immediately.
