Ashline took us on a tour that lasted nearly five hours. We ate at about six different restaurants and visited many historical sites. The food was delicious and we felt comfortable eating many items new to our palates. Because the tour involved so much sitting down to eat, the amount of walking was less than a typical walking tour. Ashline acted as our hostess and was gracious, sensitive, and protective of dietary needs and restrictions. We ate with locals everywhere but never felt out of place. Thank you Ashline for giving us a fabulous food tour of Georgetown. We recommend you to anyone who visits.

Very happy with our decision to book this tour last minute. Make sure you go hungry as you will eat SO MUCH food on the tour. Ashline (our tour guide) was lovely, engaged and very knowledgeable. Not only was it great to taste all the best local food you will hear so much about the history and cultural heritage of Penang. The samosas truely are the best you will ever try! Thanks for a great experience.

This was a fantastic tour with a great blend of food, culture, & historical information. Our guide, Ashline, was a true delight and a wealth of information & knowledge. The tour took a while (about 4 hours) but with the amount of food it was nice to have walks & information in between food stops. I left the tour very full & feeling immersed in Penang’s rich culture.

The food tour with Ashline was a lot of fun. We tried different and tasty options with Chinese, Indian and Malay influences. It was a wonderful time.

I had a fantastic time on this food tour with Pooi Ling! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local food and culture, and I loved learning so much while visiting some of the best spots and trying a huge variety of delicious things. I was a little unlucky as some places were closed that day, but we still got to try so many different indian foods, and it was a great experience overall. Pooi Ling was also super kind and helpful, sharing lots of useful tips and recommendations for other places to eat (a part from indian) and things to do in Penang. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the local food scene and learn more about the culture from someone who really knows her stuff!

Ashline was amazing!! It ended up being a delicious food tour on top of a general walking tour. She would often ask if we wanted to take the long way to the next eating spot so she could show off the history, street art, and religious landmarks in the city. I am so full writing this review 🍝😋

A feast for our taste buds and minds! Ashline is a full-on foodie with an excellent knowledge of local history, being born and raised in George Town. Our group of 4 experienced Michelin rated desserts, street food and local dishes, thankfully interrupted with a gentle stroll around the historic town spotting hidden art. Exceptional value. Thanks again to Ashline and Garrick.

Ms. Pooi Ling is an absolute gem of a local guide, and The Spice & Street Food Walk of George Town with her is an unforgettable experience! ​Her depth of knowledge regarding Penang’s rich multicultural history and culinary traditions is remarkable. Walking through Little India alongside her feels like unlocking a secret side of the island. The curated selection of Indian street food and traditional bites was outstanding, with every stop perfectly paced and packed with authentic flavors. ​What sets Ms. Pooi Ling apart is her exceptional warmth, fluency across multiple languages, and incredible cultural grounding. Sharing a Chinese heritage with her added a special layer of connection, making the conversation flow effortlessly as we explored how different cultures seamlessly blend in George Town's historic streets. ​If you are visiting Penang and want an authentic, insightful, and mouthwatering food tour, do not hesitate to book with Ms. Pooi Ling on GuruWalk! Easily 5 out of 5 stars—highly recommended!

Hicimos el tour con Ashline y fue una pasada! Muy recomendable para probar una gran variedad de platos en poco tiempo a la vez que aprendes sobre la cultura y la historia de Penang, visitando lugares icónicos. Sin duda repetiría!

Die Tour hat sich gelohnt. Wir haben so in Little India verschiedene Sachen ausprobiert, die wir ohne Tour sicher nicht entdeckt hätten.

The guide was lovely and really sweet, and the group was great. I just wish the tour had covered more of Penang rather than focusing mainly on the Indian quarter. As someone already familiar with South Asian food and culture, it wasn’t particularly new for me, though I enjoyed tasting the different foods and walking around. Overall, I’d give it about 6.5/10.

The tour was amaaaaaaazing, we started with the nyonya cakes, to continúe to a skewers stall where we can taste for the first time the 100 year eggs and bloody clams, but if you are not into them you can choose less "brave" options, after that he took us to little india to try several classic and no so classic dishes to end and the chewy jetty.

Dank Erena haben wir einen tollen Einblick in das Leben und die Gewohnheiten der Menschen in Penang erhalten. Sie ist sehr auf unsere individuellen Bedürfnisse eingegangen und uns sehr professionell geleitet. Die Speisen waren köstlich und alleine hätten wir sie niemals gefunden und ausgewählt. Das sollte jeder erlebt haben!

We had such a fantastic food tour with Timothee! The food was absolutely delicious, and there was so much of it—we definitely left full and happy. Timothee brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the tour, and it was clear that he has a real passion for Malaysian food and culture. He shared lots of interesting stories and background information, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an authentic and fun food tour in George Town, we highly recommend joining Timothee!

Did this tour with Ashline and honestly it was one of the highlights of my Penang trip. She really knows George Town inside out — took us to some great food spots I definitely wouldn’t have found on my own, and shared a lot of history and local stories along the way.
