Wonderful experience! Eskay is telling a lot of interesting and funny stories about pretty much everything your eyes can see. He even managed to get us some food and drinks to try. 10/10 would recommend!

Uncle Eskay is the best! If you are going to do only one walking tour of Penang, this should be the one. He was punctual, professional in terms of the arrangements and coordination, and told all the stories and shared all the information we could have asked for. He kept us entertained with his jokes. He offered us some delicious complementary snacks and drinks. Also, I really appreciated that he took care to ask people about their dietary restrictions while ordering them. You can see he truly enjoys the storytelling. We had a wonderful time.

I had a fantastic time for my last minute booking tour. I had Uncle Esky as my tour guide and I would highly recommend his! His is extremely knowledgeable of Penang’s history and culture. He covered so many sites in the time and not only that he was patience and took care with the group and made sure everyone has stuck together and not missed. He would be your best Malaysian Uncle with a good sense of humour of jokes along the way! Thank you Uncle Esky for a great arvo!

If you're visiting Georgetown, don't miss a tour with CC Ang! 😊 This was already my fourth tour in Georgetown and, to be honest, I was completely exhausted and wasn't sure I could stay focused for another three hours. But CC Ang proved me wrong. From the very first minutes, he had me fully engaged with his fascinating stories. He has an incredible knowledge of history, clearly prepares his tours with great care, and shares everything with genuine passion, without ever making it feel overwhelming. What I appreciated most was that he gave me a completely different perspective on Georgetown. Even after several tours, I learned so much and left with memories and insights that will stay with me for a long time. He is professional, kind, adapts to your pace and interests, and speaks excellent English. On top of that, he is simply a wonderful person who truly enjoys what he does, and that enthusiasm is contagious. 😊 Without a doubt, this was one of the highlights of my time in Georgetown. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you, CC Ang! 🙏🌟

I love travelling and discovering new places, but what fascinates me most are the people, the history, and the culture that make each place unique. JS’s magnificent storytelling and genuine passion for George Town, its people, and its history make the 4 hours of the tour pass in no time. After the tour, you’ll come away not only with great photos and delicious food, but also with a real desire to learn more about Penang and its people. This is definitely a tour I would recommend and I’d happily do it again!

I had an entertaining and informative tour from JS. He told us stories about the town and the iconic people, and he had us try the famous samosa. I enjoyed the tour and learned so much of the history and culture of the city.

We were a big group of 8, and all of us went back with fond memories, and historical contexts about Penang and what shaped it. CC Ang was an amazing tour guide; he was organized and responsive leading up to the tour. The tour plan was structured aided by his maps, pictures and his amazing storytelling ability. More importantly, he was also a very nice person! We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Penang from a very lovely and knowledgeable person.

Ken was extremely knowledgeable - and given the longer nature of the tour, she allocated time for a little break. Overall a great experience if you want to understand Penang from a different perspective!

Eskay managed the tour so smoothly and adjusted the schedule so skillfully that I didn’t even realize how quickly three and a half hours had passed! It was truly my pleasure to join Eskay’s walking tour in Penang. He introduced us to many hidden spots around the city while sharing fascinating stories about Penang’s history, all with a great sense of humor :) Even in the intense heat, I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully he looked after every guest and how professionally he ran the entire tour. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and passion for your hometown, Penang. I truly appreciate everything you offered us today and all the effort you put into making the experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Penang!😊😊

Vincent es un guía con mucha profesionalidad. Se adaptó en todo momento a las solicitudes del grupo. Nos hizo pasar la mejor tarde de nuestro viaje en Malasia. Desde entonces en cada lugar visitado hemos echado de menos tener un Vincent.

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!

We had an amazing walking tour with Eskay through George Town! It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and local stories. He explained everything in a fun and engaging way, making it both interesting and easy to follow. We also got to try some delicious local snacks along the way, which was such a thoughtful touch. The route was great and took us to places we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Eskay is very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys what he does. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting George Town!

JS has made Georgetown feel like a new city for me as a Malaysian. I have always wanted to join a walking tour in in George town, and I'm glad I encountered JS from GuruWalk. He spoke of the city's history passionately, and he had delivered all the stories very well. A huge shout-out to fellow Malaysians and foreign tourists, come meet JS, Penang is not just about good food, there are many cultural stories to discover.
