Come hungry! Excellent tour - Kevin was such an awesome host. He took us to taste many fantastic dishes and we left extremely full and satisfied. It was great to see my kids trying and liking foods I would have never expected. The food quality and variety were excellent. It was also nice to see the city and learn more about its history. Thank you Kevin for a great morning.

A culinary experience not to be missed - We were guided through the local area expertly by Kevin who explained the ingredients and method of cooking in each dish we tasted. It was a wonderful experience and one we will remember with great memories.

A fantastic way to begin eating your way around Georgetown! - This was a great experience! Junie was so knowledgeable and passionate and showed us places and food we’d never have found on our own. It was just myself and my partner on the tour and she drove us around town to different spots and chatted about Georgetown sights in general too (and answered loads of our questions, and gave extra recommendations beyond the tour!). We tried so many different foods, make sure you go hungry! Highly recommended

Georgetown Harmony food. Malaysian, Chinese, Indian and Muslim all in one 4 hour tour. - Lovely experience in the small alleys, eating where the locals eat and tasting the authentic dishes, from Starters to dessert.
Kevin Wong was great at getting the right food and he know all the people and they know him. We felt safe and there was soo much different flavours.

Brilliant food tour that catered to vegetarians - Junie was a fantastic tour guide. We went to some really great places to eat, trying different types of food and drinks and she also answered a lot of questions about Penang and its history in general.
We were 3 vegetarians and 1 vegan and Junie accommodated our dietary requirements with no problems, we felt treated the same as the others with no requirements and we didn’t miss out on anything.
Having the minivan drive us between stops made it easier to cover more ground in the heat. Also a nice way to see some of Georgetown.
Highly recommend!

Outstanding experience - Janice was an excellent guide. We visited a range of places to sample foods that as tourists we would never have tried. The food was exquisite and it felt very authentic and local. Janice was great company and told us lots of interesting facts. We had a memorable experience that we will cherish forever.

Great food tour with super English speaking guide. - I went on a food tour with my son in Penang. Kevin was fantastic, he took us to 5 different places, and we got to taste lots of different foods. He explained the origins of the dishes, talked a lot about the fusion of cultures within Penang. He was informative and really helpful. We were stuffed by the end of the tour, so much food!!! He also took us on a drive around Penang and gave us some insight to the history. Thank you Kevin, I would certainly recommend you to any friends who plan to come to Penang.

Amazing local food experience with Kevin! - **Amazing Local Food Experience with Kevin!**
Just finished this food tour last night and it was fantastic. Kevin was an awesome guide who took us to hidden spots we never would have found on our own.
We got super lucky being the only ones on the tour, which made it feel really personal. Kevin was happy to answer all our questions and explain the local food scene and history. It felt more like exploring with a local friend than a typical tour.
By the end, we understood so much more about the area - not just the food, but the culture behind everything. Kevin really made this an authentic “eat like a local” experience.
Highly recommend if you want to discover the real food gems you’d miss otherwise. Thanks Kevin!
