Best food tour in Penang - Our guide Lee-Ann was fantastic ans very passionate about the food we were trying. Her knowledge of the cultures and history of Penang made the tour worth every penny. You can see in her face her love of her job and enjoyment she gets answering questions for us. The food was also very good with a variety of different cuisines. She really gives you a chance to taste everything. There's something in the tour for everyone to enjoy.

Eat, eat & repeat! - Just book this tour! We booked it for our first full day in Penang and there is no better introduction to the city than through its amazing food. Our guide Lee-Ann was so friendly and gave us lots of information about the food we were eating and the wonderful people making it. All the stops were meticulously planned and we got to try some incredible food. Our group favourite was the Hokkien Prawn Mee, so many flavours and a great way to start the tour. Just don’t wear a white top and make sure you go hungry! You won’t be disappointed.

Awesome food tour! - Fantastic tour with Lee-Ann, a very knowledgeable, witty host who absolutely looked after us! A great rang of dishes with interesting origins and in a variety of George Town locations (street stalls and restaurants). Advise doing early in a Penang visit to set you up with food options. Good to do earlier in day and miss most of the heat. Highly recommended!

Great tour of Penang brekkie classics - This was a fabulous tour. Exceptional value for money given the duration, amount of food and flexibility of our guide. We weren't sure whether to book because we eat so much local food when we travel and are already familiar with a lot of local dishes, but this tour included many dishes we had not tried before and some we would not find or would not order in case we didn't like the flavour. This tour gave us the chance to try loads of dishes. Sandy was very friendly, generous and super flexible which we highly appreciated. There was plenty to sample for my teen who doesn't eat seafood. There was a lot of time to relax and chat with the group and the distances between venues were not far. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a really great sample of Penang brekkie classics and different venues.

Great food tour! - Very nice food tour with new dishes for us! Not the classic obvious once, as you already tried them most probably. We tried many different dishes and got a nice explanation about it.
