Experience the best of
Penang with Withlocals

"Joo is very knowledgeable, friendly, fun and easy to understand. She suggested fun poses to make with the art. She recommended other things i might want to do. A true gem!!"

"We had a wonderful time with Lisa. She has good knowledge of the food scene in Penang and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. We had so much good food and conversation along the way and it was a nice introduction the Georgetown. Would highly recommend!"

"Lisa was a delight to spend time with. She is engaging and speaks with passion about her life in Penang and the food we were offered. A great way to explore and understand Penang. Informal, friendly and informative "

"I bought a family tour around Georgetown with Joo Bee for my husbands birthday. We both loved the information about the different sights in Georgetown including the street art, and Joo Bee was very knowledgeable. She made allowances for our children when they were in need of a cafe break! She clearly loves Penang and that enthusiasm made the tour extra special. "

"We booked Joo Bee for the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Penang. Joo Bee brought the streets of George Town World Heritage Site to life with her stories of the city. Joo Bee took us to Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay, a Nyonya kuih (cake) establishment founded in 1933. The kuih and kaya taste authentically nonya and fresh because they are made daily. The taste brought back memories of childhood when kaya was home made by grandma and mum. We now understand where the names of streets came from e.g. Love Lane, Cannon Street, Harmony Street, etc. Joo Bee helped us picture the lives of the people who lived in George Town during the 18th century as we walk down these streets. This is the best and most efficient way to appreciate Penang. "

"We had a lovely tour with Lisa. She knows all the right places to go and can tell you all about (food) culture and the food business in George Town/Penang. I would highly recommend the tour! Thanks Lisa!"

" Joo Bee was superb as a guide and even better as an all round great person. I wasn't feeling very well on the day of my tour but she was kind and patient with me. We still got to see most things and she explained everything . No question seemed too silly for her to answer . I would recommend Joo 100% as she has the history of Penang and Malaysia in general steeped in her very being. She shares her knowledge with ease and grace. I truly recommend you go with Joo as she will show you the hidden gems that we as tourists would find hard to locate even using maps. I even tried durian for the first time in an ice cream form on our walk - not for me I'm afraid ! We had fun and laughs along the way as well has being given the history of Georgetown - It takes great skill to be as good a guide as JooBee👍🫰💕 Thanks a million and who knows maybe our paths will cross again .

"We very much enjoyed our tour with Lisa. We visited places and enjoyed food we would never have found on our own. I very much appreciated walking and talking with Lisa also about Georgetown and the many cultures and food that make this fascinating city. Loved every minute and highly recommend Lisa. "

"Joo Bee showed us a wonderful time touring Penang. We booked the tour for our first day to see the city and get recommendations for our weekend and Joo Bee did not disappoint. We took in the street art while marking down restaurants and shops that she recommended we visit later. Great way to start our weekend. Highly recommend. "

"This tour is an amazing experience that covers so more than just food. Remy is an incredibly interesting and passionate guy, who led us to food spots that we never would have discovered ourselves, coupled with wide-ranging chats about food, history, and philosophy. The relaxed pace of the tour shows that Remy really cares about his guests having a personalised experience. Highly recommend! "
