Free walking tours in George Town

We were surprised by the lower rating since our experience had been great. We were a nice international and engaged group of people and our guide gave us a good amount of info including answering all our questions about the country and culture and she suggested us some stops to cool down with a nice durian ice cream or nutmeg drinks. Highly suggested and if you do it at the beginning of your trip you get already a good overview of the historical center of George Town.

Eine super informative Tour mit unserem Guide Vincent. Wir sind vollkommen zufrieden.

Die Tour war super, Pooi Ling war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns viel erzählt. Sie ist sehr gut auf Fragen eingegangen und es war immer interessant. Aufgrund eines nationalen Feiertags waren leider viele Spots geschlossen. Pooi Ling hat das beste daraus gemacht und uns noch einige Empfehlungen gegeben. Wir sind rundum zufrieden und können diese Tour sehr empfehlen.

A realy great experience. I loved it

Loved the walk and how involved all. Members were with the walk!

Pooi Ling took a lot of time to show us around Georgetown. I especially appreciated that she introduced herself and the group at the beginning – it created a friendly and personal atmosphere right away. The tour lasted more than three hours, and she shared a lot of interesting information about the city's history. She always took the time to answer our questions. I found the tour very informative and would definitely recommend it.

It was a good tour, with engaging facts and a good speed. We also stayed out of the sun as much as possible but sadly I couldn't finish it due to the heat. I would recommend this for interesting facts about George Town.

We had our tour with Pooi Ling and she was friendly, professional and made the tour quite interactive answering our questions. We learned a lot about Penang history and she gave some recommendations for food as well, which was super nice!

Really enjoyed the walking tour with Vincent, he was very knowledgeable and it was a great introduction for us to Penang and Georgetown

Vincent was great, handled the group really well and kept us moving. He also gave us a lot of interesting information and answered all our questions. Would definitely do another tour with Vincent!

Very informative and entertaining. The guru was great!

Pooi Ling is very knowledgeable about the tour and sites. She has a very good command of English and it was easy to understand her. I would recommend her highly if you wish to know more about the many places of interest than just taking pictures and looking at them.

This tour was a great intro to the city. The tour was interesting for culture and food. Found some places I would have never known about! Out guide Pooi had fantastic knowledge and happy to answer any questions. Thank you for the experience 😊

Ms. Poori Ling was friendly and informative. There was a lot of focus on the multicultural and religious aspects of Penang which was great but I would have liked more of the historical narrative, maybe some characters and anecdotes.

Great tour. Must do for all visitors to George Town.

Pooi Ling was an excellent guide. She gave us with plenty of information about the history of Georgetown and the various areas within it. Tried a variety of food that I would never think of ordering usually and it was all very nice. Would recommend this tour.

Super interesting, really put Penang and wider Malaysia into perspective from many angles!

I joined the UNESCO heritage walking tour with Vincent from morning until early afternoon, and I can’t recommend it enough! Vincent was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the history, sharing rich stories and details that brought each place to life. Despite the hot weather, he stayed energetic and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. He was thoughtful, attentive, and truly wanted us to get the most out of the experience. If you’re looking for a tour that’s both educational and heartfelt, this is it. Thank you, Vincent, for such a meaningful morning!

Super walking tour! The guide was very professional, passionately and kind. We learnt a lot about culture, history, food, language, evolution of the city… I highly recommended ! Thank you !!

Pooi Ling was an excellent guide! She was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the history of Penang, and the different cultural influences. She was very thorough about the details of the different temples and houses we visited so the tour lasted about 3.5 hours — so make sure you have eaten breakfast beforehand!

Being a solo traveller, this is a very nice tour, small group helps and we get to have little chats of our travels

Vicent has been very nice and he have explain really well a lot abumout Penang. He also give us some recommendations to eat and shop in Penang.

An informative, entertaining and interesting tour. Ms. Pooi Ling shared lots of information and made the tour experience comfortable. She shared local recommendations for restaurants and place we later tried and enjoyed. I recommend this tour to get to know more the city.

Despite a rainy start to the tour group, Vincent adjusted it very well so we have places in’s shade and time for questions. Vincent has wealth of knowledge about Penang and personal stories to share that kept the tour memorable. Really liked that Vincent gave balanced discussion on different faiths in Penang, and info about British colonialism in Penang with both positives and negatives.

Vincent gave us a fantastic tour of Georgetown in spite of the heavy rain that we had at some moments. Great balance between historical facts and humour. He really loves his city and passed on his enthusiasm to the group.
