Good food and guide - Our Guide, Lester, was great! He was knowledgeable about Penang and we visited several great food stalls. Lester was happy to explain the food to us and was willing to take photos of us both. Great time - thanks Lester.

Interesting food tour - We had a very informative food tour with Pho. She gave us so much information about the city, their culture and the food. I love when food tours are more than just about the food.

Highly Recommended - Our tour guide James was wonderful. We visited a number of places pre-selected by James and tried the local delicacies. James also provided the historical context/background of the neighborhoods visited. The food was great and our tour guide’s knowledge and presentation made it even better.

A food tour and much more - My friend and I did this tour on our 2nd day in George Town. James was absolutely fantastic - he asked about allergies/intolerance ahead of time and asked if there were any dishes I'd like to try. He accommodated all of this in the tour - and we even had some amazing cakes that he'd gone to the market ahead of time to buy so we could try them. As well as the food we learnt loads about George Town and it's buildings and history. Couldn't recommend enough - definitely come hungry!

Excellent and amazing Food and sightseeing Tour - We joined an excellent food Tour in Georgetown. Our tour-guide James Link was a wonderful and very friendly guy. .He guided us through the delicious food-culture of Georgetown and told us with his lovely sense of humour funny stories about Penangs history. The meals were so delicious. We were loughing a lot and enjoyed this afternoon. we absolutely recommend this kind of food tour. We have experience of three food tours in malaysia. This tour with James Link was the very best.
