Must do in Georgetown. - Kevin is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, taking us to his favourite spots.
Do not eat lunch. Have a hearty breakfast to see you through till 5pm.
Being transported in the car is a wonderful restbite from the heat.
Must do for travellers to Penang.

Highly Recommend Kevin and Janice! - Kevin and Janice were exceptional guides! They were knowledgeable and very organized. As a team they transported us in their clean and air-conditioned van to around 5 or 6 hawker stands, restaurants , food carts and a few historical places of interest. The next day I noticed 2 credit cards had fallen out of my wallet and I contacted Kevin to check and see if they were in the van. Within minutes Kevin and Janice found the cards and delivered them to me. They were both professional, genuinely friendly and passionate about their food tour!

Lots of different dishes, lots of different tastes, lots of fun! - This is an amazing experience and with Kevin showing you around, it is really memorable.
Kevin knows where to get the right food, has background stories and took us to places we would have never ever considered to visit ourselves, or even had known what to order.
Kevin is very friendly and helpful and has been a chef himself and therefore knows what effort and love has been put in preparing everything we have tasted around George Town.
We also visited areas of the town outside the touristic routes which gave a added dimension to our visit.
Go with an open mind, a curiosity and empty stomach, you will not be disappointed!
Thank you Kevin for this amazing experience!

Great food tour - We had a great time on this tour. Kevin is very personable, passionate about local food and we did a lot of sightseeing as well as food tasting. We tried so many different things and went to places we never would have found ourselves, truly immersed with the locals. We loved every stop. Kevin even took some photos for us at the jetty and sent them to us afterwards. Make sure to arrive with an empty stomach as you end up eating a lot!

Fabulous tour - If you are thinking about doing this tour,book it! We had an awesome time with Kevin our tour guide for the night.Kevin is a chef by trade so knew eveything he was talking about.
We got picked up on time outside the bank and Kevin transported us around in his vehicle for the tour. All of the local food was seriously amazing and plentiful.i suggest skipping lunch for the day to save room,I could not believe how much food we were given.
Kevin also drove us to some tourist places which was also great to see.
We had a seriously good night with Kevin,he was knowledgeable and also funny.I highly recommend doing this if you are visiting Penang.

Fun evening - Really enjoyed eating street food like a local Kevin was very informative and accommodating. He gave us a good social insight to the area, explained the history of the jetties and the various economics of social housing. He explained each type of food and it’s origins along with where possible introducing us to the chief or proprietor
