For us it was mixed food tour and mixed history & culture, which was actually great. We also visited Mazu temple and learned a bit about how it works. James was great, although he can be a bit pushy if you do not eat enough haha! Highly recommended.

Really authentic experience of street food Penang with A bit of culture thrown in. Pho was very interesting, knowledgeable and fun. A great way to experience the local cuisine and culture. Last but not least the food was very tasty

Marvelous tour with James today. LOTS of food. Perfectly curated with plenty of cultural tidbits. James tailored the tour for us (I’m gluten free/light) and was able to eat almost all the food. The best part is tasting foods you maybe wouldn’t know to order or perhaps wouldn’t dare. Highly recommended

James was a great guide who was very passionate about the food and history of Penang! We tried a variety of local dishes, my favourite being the char kuey teow. It was really intrestrsting going to the Chinese temple as James explained the history, the gods and facts about the temple.

James was a great tour guide. I enjoyed all the different foods we got to try, and he had a fun, informative spin on local history, religion and food. He took great care for those of us with food restrictions. I got to sample so much I would otherwise probably miss on my vacation here.

Without doubt the best food tour we have ever done. Poh was brilliant, information about food and culture was excellent. Took the time to explain the local food and helped us understand what was on offer and gave us confidence to order local food.

Poh was a wonderful ambassador for the Island. We experienced so many different foods and drinks, from food markets, a Muslim restaurant and a street market. Everything about the ingredients and cooking methods was fully explained by Poh. As there were 6 of us she checked with us how spicy we liked each food before ordering. We also visited a Chinese temple and street art for our culture hit. Such great fun. Thankyou Poh

Poh was great, very polite and good at keeping smiles up. We had a nice walk with some tidbits of knowledge on the way. Enjoyed the Taoist temple tour along the way. The places we went to eat certainly felt authentic and served a lot of local foods. That said, there is A LOT of food and rather than a refined ‘best eats’ it feels a bit like an overindulgence of many similar noodle dishes and broths. Alarmingly, there were drinks with ice cubes and some cold chicken wings which I inherently regret this morning as yesterday’s fun is pouring out of me like an Icelandic volcano eruption whilst my stomach is tying knots not even the most seasoned seaman could undo. I wish I could attribute this to anything else, but this food tour has been my only intake in the last 36 hours before feeling very unwell. It is always fun to try local food in a guided setting, but know the risk of limiting your holiday fun in the following days.

We had a fantastic time on our walking tour! Our guide, Beatrice, was very generous with her time & information. She packed heaps of stories into our tour! It was a great balance between food, culture & history. We learnt so much! Was also great to get tips on where else to go on the days after our tour. The best part was the care & patience Beatrice showed my mother on the tour - she had hurt her ankle that morning, & Beatrice gave her a great remedy (nutmeg oil!) & slowed the pace down so she felt no pressure. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour - its been an absolute highlight of our time in Malaysia. Thanks Beatrice!!
