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.

Very good food tour - Poh was very knowledgeable and a true foodie. She not only shown us incredible local cuisines but also took the time to explain deeply about the culture behind the food and the seasonings. 10/10 would recommend

A great experience - We thought this was going to food, food, food. While there was more than enough food and food talk, we we lucky enough to have guide James explain and show us the history and culture of the island while in between food stops. Learned a tonne and enjoyed our candid discussions. Highly recommend!

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.
