Beware, huge amounts of lively food - Unfortunately my stomach was totally full after station 2 of this lively food tour! My host James quickly switched to showing me some heritage sites instead before we ended the tour at station 5 with a very tasty local dessert ("Cendol"). James has many interesting stories to tell about Georgetown. Despite not being able to eat all the delicacies, I very much enjoyed the tour.

Great food and cultural experience in Penang - We had Poh as our culinary leader and she was fantastic. Very proud and knowledgeable of Penang's multi cultural history and life. All reflected in the delicious food and bustling streets. My Mum struggled in the last hour, so the tour might have been a bit long, but we loved every minute of it.

Explore local cuisine and UNESCO listed George Town in one easy tour - A great introduction to the huge variety of food available in Penang from different nationalities and cultures combined with a walk through parts of the UNESCO listed George Town with the opportunity to learn a bit of local history and customs. Beatrice was an excellent host and guide, ensuring that no-one left any of the stops wanting more and the 3 hours flew by. We were a couple but would be great for families with school age kids. Even fussy eaters would find something to enjoy.

Ok - The experience was good but not exceptional. For the price you pay you don’t get very expensive or exceptional food. The food was good but the tour felt rushed for no reason and very mechanical.
