Absolutely the best food experience! We had a tour with Wei Shein, who paced the entire excursion perfectly. We enjoyed a wonderful mix of culture, food, and history as we explored old George Town. No one left hungry or felt like we missed out on anything. We visited places of worship, admired street art, sampled food from the best street vendors, and met the families living on Chew Clan Jetty. I highly recommend this tour!

A Delicious Adventure in Penang!

A Delicious Adventure in Penang!" This food tour in Penang was an absolute delight! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into Penang's rich culinary history and culture. The food itself was simply divine - every dish was a burst of flavor, showcasing the best of Penang's street food scene. But the highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the bar with live music. It was the perfect way to end the evening, enjoying delicious drinks and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Penang!

Well worth it

We had a great tour with Gary. Who was fantastic with our kids ( ages 13, 11, 8) as this tour was more for myself and my husband with three reluctant kids in tow. He was very kind to explain the dishes to them and made the tour really fun. Thanks Gary a super day out with an exceptional guide

More Than Just a Food Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a spectacular time. In addition to great food we got a historical and cultural tour of Penang’s UNESCO Heritage Area. So much so that we canceled our UNESCO tour that we had scheduled for the following day. The food and drink that we sampled was all delicious. We couldn’t eat it all! I highly, highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful experience
