Fantastic tour! Food is culture and history. This tour delivers much more than just a full stomach- although we certainly had that. We were happy we chose the evening tour not only because it is cooler in the evening to walk around, but it was interesting to watch the streets change from the busy traffic of tourists and businesses to the locals coming out to visit, eat and go about their lives. We all felt it was the best tour we had taken out of many. Brandon did an amazing job.

the knowledge of Brandon about the history and the food easy to get around. There was only three of us, so we got a personalised tour.

Brandon was very friendly and informative. It was a really interesting tour and we tried some delicious food, we ended the tour in a great spot to go for a drink too finish the evening off. Would definitely recommend.

This was a fantastic experience. Brandon is a thoughtful and generous guide. He took us to a range of food stalls, cafés and restaurants and we sampled Indian, Chinese and Nyonya food. The highlight was singing Ed Sheeran songs in Bibik’s Kitchen. Great night.

Brandon the guide was first class. He speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable on local food, customs and history. If you are only briefly stopping in Penang this is about as good an intro as you can get. Specifically, street food (Penang is all about food) is often difficult as the traders rarely speak English so a guide, on your first outing, is a great start. This tour is fairly pricey for the food you get, but worth it for the knowledge received.
