Experience the best of
Penang with Withlocals

"We thoroughly enjoyed a guided walk tour by Joo Bee. She listened to our wish very well and was flexible about the meeting time and place. We wanted to have a good orientation about the old town Georgetown without putting too much in a walking plan. We had stops for local snacks and cold drinks. She was very knowledgeable and caring. "

"We had an amazing private food-tasting tour with Remy! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the local culture, history, and cuisine. The food we got to taste was absolutely delicious and gave us a great variety of flavors to experience. The entire tour was well-organized, and Remy made it both fun and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the local food scene. A fantastic experience overall!"

"We had a great time on the Penang art tour with Remy. He was incredibly passionate about the art and gave us a good understanding of all the murals. Would definitely recommend! "

"Great day with Remy. Tried foods we never would have but now know about and will eat again. Remy tells the story of Penang through its food. And what a great story it is..."

"Virginia made our stay in Penang into an unforgettable experience. A life long resident made the difference as we saw both all the major sights advertised but also many local areas that only a resident would know about. Virginia showed us some great small little eating areas that she frequents and they were wonderful. We plan to tell our travel agent and all of our friends visiting to be sure to contact Virginia Ann before arriving!"

"We tried so many delicious things, including Michelin-awarded samosas. Of course, there were lots of Malaysian dishes, which we loved, but also Indian dishes, such as a lunch served on a banana leaf. We can highly recommend the tour—it was amazing! Lisa, a German who lives here, has so many great stories to tell and is very knowledgeable."

"Great communication and very pleasant tour - lots of variety and interesting market visit - lots of new experiences and Sam was knowledgable and entertaining - many thanks 🙏 "

"Lisa was the perfect guide. She showed us so many authentic and nice places in Georgetown where we tasted delicious food. Additionally she shared cultural insights with us. Lisa lives in Malaysia for many years and knows everything about the local food and also how to prepare it. The food tour with Lisa was one of our highlights during our stay in Malaysia. "

"Great evening with Remy. Loved all the food and the interactions with Remy. Highly recommended!"

"Lisa was absolutely fabulous! She was fun and took the time to get to know us and shared her experiences traveling and living in Malaysia. It was like sitting down to eat with a new friend. She explained all the dishes and took us to her favorite spots. I would recommend her tour to everyone 😊"
