Fantastic Day with Soraya - Even though we have travelled to Penang numerous times over the years we learnt so much on this tour with the delightful Soraya. As a Penang local and licenced Tour Guide, Soraya gave us great insights into Penang's fascinating history, multi-culture, architecture and best of all - food! Over the course of the tour walking through George Town she fed us so much that we were bursting. Everything was delicious and her choices of meals to showcase Penang's diverse food culture were perfect. Soraya was interesting and engaging and font of information about Penang. She showed us so many sights and points of interest, well beyond what we expected. We had a great day and would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

One of the best tours I have ever been on - We had such a wonderful tour with Lee. Lee was very well informed, personable and eager to make sure our experience was fabulous—which it was. We were introduced to the most amazing, traditional food and the various different cultures that reside within Georgetown. Lee was extremely knowledgeable in all of these areas. I thoroughly recommend Lee as your guide and also would recommend that you take this tour as soon as you arrive to get your bearings and understand the cultures, customs and the area that you are visiting.

Fantastic food extravaganza! - This was one of the nicest way to learn about the history and culture of Georgetown, Penang! Our guide, dear Lee Su Li, (Bruce Lee’s sister, of course) was very friendly and funny and gave us a really personalised tour. We are a foodie family and all of us, even our usually shy teenager stuffed ourselves to the max and got great local info about the ingredients used in the various variations of the dishes. Loved the whole experience! Highly recommend it, and especially her as a guide!

Penang food. - Went to this FLOWER MULAN NYONA CAFE in Penang. The place was so cosy and instagramable!!! A must go place. Food was not amazingly good. But it was not bad either. Should go for the experience!!!!

Decent, but no value for money - The guide was thoughtful enough to tailor the tour for us as we didnt want Indian food, so we got to sample Char Kway Teow, Laksa and Chendol. That said, for what we paid, we didnt feel we ate enough varieties of food. The history walk was interesting and he had some interesting anecdotes. Overall ok, but we have experienced better in other parts of the world.
