Free Walking Tours in George Town

Really enjoyed the tour. Eskay was very knowledgeable and entertaining so kept everyone engaged. He took us round a lot of different sites, so it was a great way to explore and learn about George Town. Thank you!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Although it was 3 hours long, the walk was easy and at a good pace. We covered many parts of Georgetown, earned a good understanding of the heritage and enjoyed hearing all the stories and anecdotes by the guide. It was a great 3 hours well spent!!

Eskay was amazing. He definitely knew his history and information which was appealing to the group in wanting 'off the beaten path' experience around Georgetown. He was funny, mixing humour with his presentations to provide an interesting and entertaining afternoon in the hot sun.

Pooi Ling was fantastic, knowledgeable and patient. It was a fantastic end to our trip.

Great tour, highly recommend, you will be so full after tasting so many local delicacies. Garrick takes you all over the place, into places you would never know have Michelin awards! He’s highly informative about ANYTHING Penang. You won’t be disappointed

Excellent walk with great food and restaurant recommendations. I would recommend a quick name/country of origin for group at the beginning 😊

Just perfect. We loved the tour.

I had such an amazing moment by making the walking tour with Uncle Eskay. He is very friendly and has a looot of knowledge about the city. I definitely recommend it !

I have participated in walking tours in multiple cities/countries (e.g., Barcelona, Rome, and Marrakesh), so I am writing this review with a fairly broad basis for comparison. I would rate Southbeast Asia Heritage as the most professional. We were each provided with a headset and a well-written information booklet. The group wasn't large. The tour was more than 3 hours, but it remained engaging throughout. Highly recommended.

Eskay made the tour so entertaining and informative! I learnt a lot even as a Singaporean, where we share similar history as Penang. Eskay even treated us to some really delicious samosas and milk tea! I enjoyed the tour thoroughly!

Thank you Uncle Eskay for the amazing tour 🙏

Really enjoyed ourselves. Beautiful place and the most lovely guide. Highly knowledgeable and really friendly. Please make sure you leave Eskay a tip at the end, he doesn’t ask for a tip, but he absolutely deserves it! He works hard and the tour is very well organised!

Wonderful walk!!!! So much information

Amazing tour from JS, he is such a passionate and knowledgeable guide! He provided so much information and interesting facts about the history of Georgetown and had an answer to all my questions! He provided great food recommendations as well and even took me to try some of the local cuisine. Would definitely recommend!

The energy and enthusiasm of Eskay rubs on to you and you dont realise how the 3 hours passed. Lovely stories and look at Penang from a very different angle. Enjoyed the walk. Recomended to all do it with Uncle Eskay.

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.

Honestly, we thought that we would never make the length of the walk in the heat of Penang, but Vincent was so interesting he made it a pleasure to be there and learning all the interesting facts. He ensured that we were comfortable and stayed in the shade whenever possible. Thanks Vincent - you are 5*. P & G

"Yep", as he asks us to call him, is an excellent tour guide -- entertaining, knowledgeable and considerate. This is a walking tour of mostly traditional neighborhoods in George Town, with some extra treats thrown in. An excellent three hours, even in the heat!

Yeap was a wonderful guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. He was super helpful, easy going and very thoughtful. We love the little treats along the way, Michelin star samosas, iced tea & chocolate sampling. We highly recommend this walking tour!

Die Tour hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht - mehrere Stunden waren wir unterwegs und Eskay hat uns Infos und Fun Facts zu den Orten gegeben, die wir besucht haben. Er war lustig, hat alle Fragen beantwortet und Tipps gegeben. Auf jeden Fall ein Highlight.

Vincent was an incredible guide ! Really passionate about his city and taught us a lot about Georgetown, Malaysia and religion ! One of the best free walking tour I have ever done ( and I have done 25+). Thanks again Vincent !

We had a very good experience. Our guides expent the whole morning with us and we visited everything important in Georgetown. Both of them very kind and friendly!

We loved the tour with Eskay. He had a lot of knowledge and delivered it with a great sense of humour. I really enjoyed the places he took us, into the back streets and away from all of the highly touristy areas.

This is an absolute brilliant walking tour of George Town. Eskay has created a really interesting route through the town which takes in lots of history, art and culture. Eskay is a phenomenal guide and super knowledgeable. We got to see some touristy sites but also learnt lots of things we wouldn't know otherwise.

This was a fabulous tour. Vincent was so informative and was able to genuinely answer our questions. He covered so many different areas of the historic part of Penang and his general knowledge was honest and easy to listen too. We went over the 3 hours and the four of us could’ve kept listening to his stories and information about the history of Penang. We old definitely recommend this tour and Vincent.
