Excellent tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Junie was a great guide who knew the area and places to eat so well. She went out of her way to make our trip interesting and enjoyable. We even managed a walk down Armenian Street to see the street art in the cool and quiet of the evening. We can’t recommend her enough.

Our tour guide Janice was a wonderful guide. Fully knowledgeable and full of funs to be with. She took the extra steps to show us stuffs what was not included in the tour. Definitely will recommend any one wishing to know about local Penang stuffs to join her tours ! The family had a wonderful time ! Tom from Montreal joined 7-01-2025

Highly recommend for foodies!

Published on Jan, 2025

This food tour was great! We were able to try all the foods I had on my list, which made it perfect for our short trip to Penang. Kevin picked us up in his air conditioned car and we drove to 5 different stops. At each stop, we got out and tried a few items as Kevin told us about the area and the food we ate. Kevin spoke English well, was pleasant to spend time with, and was very knowledgeable. Each stop was unique and really was for the locals, which few tourists around, but still busy and bustling, which made the experience worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour!!

Great evening tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Lovely elder couple that have grown up here, showed us places of all malay cuisine that they have been going to since they were young. Also had great knowledge of penang as they have seen it through the decades.

Amazing food tour by Janice, an excellent host

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing tour! A combination of several stops through the different cuisines of Penang, alongside visiting areas that you’d never think to go of as a tourist! Special shout to the host, Janice, who catered for my girlfriend’s pescatarianism, without compromising or changing anyone else’s food at all! Interesting drive round some of Georgetown's little India and good information surrounding the jetty. Completely stuff by the end!
