Experience Food Tours in Penang with Withlocals

"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 "

"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!"

"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. "

"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! "

"Lisa was a wonderful and knowledgable guide who showed us local food spots that we never would have discovered on our own! Our three kids - ages six to ten - enjoyed the outing very much as Lisa made sure to add and enough pit stops for sweets. And the adults got to enjoy some true delicacies and learned a lot about local culture. Added plus: Our vegetarians were also happy as we had tons of alternatives to meat and seafood dishes. Lastly for the kids it was great to have a German-speaking guide. Thanks again, Lisa, for the awesome experience!"

"Remy was friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. A great time tasting different foods and drinks whilst hearing his stories about Penang, his life and the foods. He had good rapport with all the traders. Everything was lovely and we even had some extra goodies to take back for later. Well worth the money for having a personal guide. "

"We really enjoyed our tour. Many of the spots Lisa took us to weren't on our radar. Lisa did an excellent job in describing the process of making many of the dishes. I believe she tailored our tour to not overlap our other Malaysian food experiences. Lisa was very engaging."

"As we are planning to stay in Georgetown, Panang for several days, we really wanted some good advice about what and where to eat locally, rather than stick to the 'safe', overpriced and usually watered down food sold in the main tourist areas. Remy started the tour by double checking our dietary needs, likes and dislikes and then took us on a thorough tour of street food venues. At each he gave a thorough explanation as to why it was a good one and what other dishes we should try if we went back by ourselves, as well as the best way to eat them. It's amazing what a difference it makes to mix certain things together rather than eat separately! Remy also explained about the local history and religions, which helped us to focus on eating the range of delicious dishes he ordered for us. The whole tour was well planned and paced so that we had 'rest' drinks and snacks between larger dishes so that we didn't get uncomfortably full. As well as showing us a range of places to go to for drinks afterwards, and introducing us to staff there, he also pointed venues to avoid for various reasons. By the end of the tour, we had several bags of sweets, snacks and a meal to take with us, to enjoy later once we were hungry again. All were delicious and interesting and we returned today to buy more. The tour definitely fulfilled its purpose for us and it was really enjoyable spending time with such a friendly and passionate local like Remy. We'd thoroughly recommend him as a guide. "

"Penang is for sure one of the most fascinating food places in Asia and Lisa will help you to discover and appreciate it to the fullest. We spent 3 hours with her roaming foodie places in atmospheric George Town, from Malay to Indian to Chinese delicacies discussing culture and everyday life in Penang. Thanks for this great evening out Lisa! "
