Vincent was a great tour guide! Very knowledgable and interesting to talk to. I liked that he took us sightseeing in between food stops, because it makede it easier to digest a bit and eat more food! The other girl on the tour and I were very confident that we could make it to the end in terms of trying everything, and we just about did, but we weren't eating much by the end (the sign of a great tour). We had about 10 different dishes in four locations and it was awesome.

Vincent was a wealth of knowledge, not only about food, but history and culture also. This tour was a fantastic thing to do on our first day in Penang, really helped to plan the next day's and meals. We enjoyed the storytelling and practical tips and tricks. A++ experience.

A fabulous tour that delivered delicious food. Max was a fantastic guide who taught us about Food, Architecture and Culture. Our visit to the Taoist Temple was lovely and Max explained everything to us. Make sure you go on an empty stomach as we had so much food. We highly recommend this tour.

I’ve done quite a few food tours around the world and Poh was one of the best guides I’ve had. She is extremely knowledgeable (not just about food but pretty much anything you might like to know about Malaysia) and so easy to talk to. We tasted about 15 different things on this tour and got such a great insight into Penang food culture. If you’re vegetarian like me just be prepared to miss out on some dishes eg a variety of the noodle soups.
