GREAT Tour of Penang

Published on Jan, 2024

Tiger was awesome. Educational, entertaining - the whole experience was great. We ate great food and learned so much about Penang. I recommend this to EVERYONE. My wife and I went hungry and were glad given all the food. He even left us with a going away 'burger' for a late night snack. I heard he has a coffee tour and was angry we didn't have time to stick around for it.

Amazing guide and food culture

Published on Sep, 2023

"Going on the food tour with Tiger was seriously amazing! He took us on a wild food adventure through Penang, starting with mind-blowing nasi kandar that set the bar high. Then, he surprised us with a cool forest picnic that was just so different and fun, showing that Tiger knows how to keep things exciting. We continued the experience with a visit to the enlightening Arulmigu Balathandayuthapani Temple and incredible views of Penang and the monkeys ! Tiger didn't hold back - he kept it real with his thoughts on everything. His passion for Penang’s cuisine and and the way he shared his knowledge about the culture and history made the whole experience even better. He knows all the secret spots to find the best of the best in Penang. We felt like we were in on all the delicious secrets and soaked up the local culture. Tiger was our guide and our friend, making sure we got the most out of every bite and moment. From our lunch to the forest picnic to finishing with a delicious Ramly Burger, Tiger made sure we savored every second. No doubt about it, Tiger made our food tour the highlight of our trip!”

The best food and culture tour you could ask for

Published on Sep, 2023

Tiger is the man! My wife and I were visiting for just one day from New York, and Tiger was so helpful in making the most of our time in Penang. He was so thoughtful, all the way from giving us new reusable water bottles up to noting our food restrictions. We also got to learn so much great information about the culture and the history. The best part was our picnic in front of a scenic dam and our hike up to one of the biggest Hindu temples before our dinner. Most importantly, everything was local, authentic and clean. Take it from an incredibly picky New Yorker! Everything was perfect and this was probably the best viator experience I've ever had.

The food and culture tour to beat

Published on Sep, 2023

Tiger is amazing. As a native New Yorker, I can easily say this was the most interesting and thoughtfully planned tour that I have ever been on. From start to finish he made us feel so comfortable and welcomed in this beautiful city. We started with a flawless pick up and he thoughtfully gave us both new reusable water bottles to take on future adventures... Very thoughtful and environmentally conscious. We started with lunch, where he explained everything to us and we learned a lot about culture and history on the way. We saw many local places where Malaysians go, we learned about various plants and berries in the rainforest, and there was always an interesting tidbit along the way. Next we were happily surprised by a picnic with a lovely view and more education on Malaysian lifestyle followed by a visit to a Hindu temple and of course followed by more food at a Chinese hawker. Of course tiger was nice enough to send us home with a snack and was so thoughtful in giving us suggestions for the next day. I wish I could have the chance to see the rest of this beautiful place with him.

Live…and eat like a local in Penang!

Published on Jan, 2023

This was a great experience, and far more than a standard food tour. First of all, rest assured that you will have plenty of tasty treats throughout the tour and will end the day stuffed, but more importantly Tiger is absolutely committed to helping you live like a local for the day in Penang. He went out of his way to bring us places that we never would have found on our own while providing lots of information and context to understand the local culture(s) in Penang. The tour is well paced with breaks between “meals” for transport between spots, walks, and visits to places of interest waaay off the tourist track. Oh, and all of the food is delicious, AND thoughtfully paired with unique local beverages. Tiger’s enthusiasm to share his knowledge and local insights made the time fly by—and he even dropped us off with a goodie bag so we didn’t miss our final bedtime snack! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to help us eat our way through a day in Penang. You won’t be disappointed if you book this experience!
