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!

This is a must do tour for food lovers. Erina is great tour guide, very knowledgeable about food and the different cultures in Georgetown. She brought us to some great places run by local families and we got to try some tasty food that was totally new to us. I highly recommend.

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.

Our tour with Ashline was fantastic—very enjoyable and informative. She shared lots of interesting insights about the street art and the temples we passed along the way, which made the experience even more engaging. Every food stop was excellent, and the portion sizes were just right. The only exception was the last stop, where the serving was a bit too much—but only because everyone was already very full by then! Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this tour.

We booked a tour. In total we were with 4 people on the tour. We saw 6 places where we tried multiple things. We got some information about the food. In between stops we walked for a bit and got also some information about the city en buildings. Our tourguide was also really nice and if we had questions we could always ask. We really liked it.

I had a truly wonderful experience exploring Penang with Mr. Garrick as my tour guide. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, patient, and most importantly, very decent and honest. It’s rare to meet a guide who genuinely puts his guests first without any hidden agendas. Mr. Garrick shared insightful stories and local knowledge that made the tour both meaningful and enjoyable. He was always transparent with his recommendations, whether it was food, shopping, or sightseeing, and never once pressured us into anything. I really appreciated his sincerity and the way he carefully looked after our needs throughout the day. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and warm-hearted guide to show you the beauty of Penang, I highly recommend Mr. Garrick. His passion for the island and his genuine character truly made the trip unforgettable.

This was another outstanding experience with guru tours. I really enjoyed our guide and appreciated her professionalism, knowledge and personality. She picked an area of town. I really wanted to learn more about. I love the choices that she made and she provided a quality experience. Highly recommended.!

Overall a really good walking tour. Similar to what I was expecting but was looking for more varieties of food rather than the history of it all

Great snacks and good stories

The Spice & Street Food Walk of George Town, Penang

1. Started on time and ended about 3.5 hours later (although advertised as 2.5-hour tour) 2. Very detailed information on historical/heritage buildings probably best appreciated by history buffs or those with a cultural background of Southeast Asia or Malaysia more generally, and the Straits Settlements more specifically 3. Very approachable, knowledgeable and eager to please, exactly the kind of host you'd expect and wish for especially when traveling solo in an unfamiliar place; feel very well taken care of 4. Great food choices, and very reasonable costs (RM20 per person in a group of 5) The tour is focused on Indian spices and food in Penang/Malaysia, and may be a lil too much if you aren't as interested or invested in the same or prefer a more compact tour in half the time. For me it was leisurely and thoroughly enjoyable and I'd do it again with a partner to partake in the fun. Entertainment value can be enhanced with pop quizzes & small prizes relevant to the tour rather than one-sided info sharing that can be rather overwhelming at times. Still your tour companions matter, and I've had much luck with mine.
