Penang Food Tour - Georgetown

Kevin gave a really great private tour, stopping at places you would never know unless you were local. Each stop, he drove us while giving us the history of the area as well as recommendations on other places to visit or eat at. Within each stop, we had at least 2-4 different dishes: noodles, sweets, fruit, drinks, meats, etc. He provided water whenever we didn't have a drink with the food. To add, he was even prepared with an umbrella for when it suddenly rained, took some pictures for us, and sent us links to more recommendations. We had a few requests which he was very flexible with. Overall, an amazing private tour with a car and a bit of walking within each stop. You will be very full, so come with an empty stomach and you are basically also getting a free car along with the food tour. He said he's been giving tours for over a decade, and it definitely shows. You can book without a doubt.

Our guide Kevin gave us a fascinating knowledgeable taster of some if the unique tastes of the very varied Georgetown cuisines. Five stops with so many different dishes to try..beautiful flavours. Unique fritters, unusual laksas and so much more from the Chinese clan netties to Little India and other food stalls along the way. All along Kevin talked about the different food cultures and history so it was a lot to take in. We finished with a great dosa and roti with vegetable curry dips and left with lots of recommendations of other restaurants to try. Very highly recommended.

We have taken many food tours but Janice was one of the best guides ever. Her communication and organization were excellent. She spoke English very well. She introduced us to a wide variety of Penang cuisine, at many locations only the locals frequent. With a chefs background she enlightened us with some of the secrets of Asian cooking. Great sense of humor too! This is a can’t miss tour for any foodie.

Kevin was a great guide for both food and sightseeing. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He took us to some wonderful food spots with lots of variety.

Kevin (and his sister Janice!) were fabulous, informative and friendly guides. We ate so much great food and they were full of facts about Penang too. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful evening with Kevin. As well as visiting local restaurants and trying many different dishes, Kevin was able to discuss history, ingredients and cooking methods. Whilst driving between venues he provided an interesting commentary on the sites and history of Georgetown. I would highly recommend this tour for trying authentic food away from the tourist areas. I assumed it was a walking tour but it was not making it completely suitable for those with kids, walking challenges and people who are just feeling the heat. Thanks for a wonderful tour.

Great tour! The guides are very knowledgeable about the food and the area, felt like we got off the beaten track and had a local experience. The food is delicious, come hungry!

Excellent food tour with plenty of explanations and was introduced to many foods that I would not simply discover on my own. Very engaging and fun guide. The vehicle made it possible to cover a large area in comfort so had a great time

This is a really good food tour. We experienced 20 different foods at a large variety of outlets, eating with the locals. We thought it was a walking tour, but Kevin,our guide,drove us to all sites in his air-conditioned 7 seater vehicle. On our tour there were only the two of us (wife and I). A word of warning. If there are only two of you,try not to eat all the food at the first stop in Georgetown (even though the Penang Laksa is marvellous). We were seriously over-full by the end of our tour. Thank you Kevin for a truly memorable evening.
