Experience Food tours in the best of
Penang with Withlocals

"We had a great experience. This was my second tour with Lisa, this time with my family. She is very friendly and shows us a lot a great places to eat and drink. She could answer all of our questions and was great with the kids. Recommend!!"

"Remy is an excellent guide. He tailored a walking tour tailored to our tastes and mindful of a blazing hot day. We could not have asked for more"

"The best food we had in Malaysia was the food we eat when on tour with Lisa. Lisa is a very kind, calm and lovely lady who knows a lot about the different tastings in Malaysia. We tried new stuff even after having already done a food tour in KL, and she really knows how to find the gems. The variety was great and she also knew how to please the kids with the choices of tastings. Definitely recommend doing a tour with Lisa ❤️"

"We booked an evening food tour with Remy, and it was honestly such a wonderful experience! Remy was an amazing guide. You could immediately tell that he is a true local, which made the experience feel so much more authentic. He showed us so many delicious local foods and took us to places we probably would never have found on our own. We felt much more connected to the local street food scene and got to experience the evening and nightlife at the street food market in a way we probably wouldn't have been able to on our own. What made the tour especially special was how comfortable and welcome Remy made us feel. He was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and we had such interesting and enjoyable conversations with him. We genuinely enjoyed listening to him and learning from him. He also paid close attention to our wishes and preferences and adapted the tour as much as possible to what we wanted. The whole evening felt so relaxed and personal that it honestly didn't feel like a tour at all. It felt more like spending an evening with someone who was showing us their city and sharing their local knowledge with us. We had such a great time and would absolutely book another tour with Remy again. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic, personal and unforgettable local food experience!"

"We had a lovely evening with Remy, learning about George Town, the different cultural influences impacting the food flavours in Penang. He listened to all our food requests, and created a tour that was suitable for our family of 4 (including 2 boys aged 11 and 9, one of whom is a picky eater!). Remy adapted on the fly and we all got to try some amazing food and experience a side of George Town we would perhaps not have had the courage to do alone. Thanks Remy!!"

"We had an amazing time with Remy on the food tour. We learned lots about the history as well as enjoying the food. The food we tried was not what we would have picked or even known about so well worth the tour. Would definitely recommend!"

"Would absolutely do it again. Lots of very authentic places which you would probably just walk by if no one shows them to you. Thank you, Mohd!! "

"We cannot rate Lisa highly enough. She went above and beyond for our tour, researching each of the places we visited to ensure there were options for one of our party that has some special dietary requirements. We all had a brilliant time and would recommend going with an empty stomach as there was so much food that we were pretty full before the last stops and so couldn't appreciate the dishes as much as we should. Lisa knew all about the different places we visited, how they cooked the food, where it originated from and how it had changed with the culture of George town. We would highly recommend this tour."

"We are a family of 5 and had a really good tour with Yasin. The food was great, we tried some really delicious foods that would never found ourselves. Yasin was easy company, good with the kids and very informative and helpful. Highly recommended 😊"

"We had a fantastic food tour in Penang with Lisa and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is such a warm, kind, and knowledgeable guide who clearly loves sharing her city with visitors. What we appreciated most was how she tailored the experience to our preferences while still introducing us to an incredible variety of local dishes and drinks. From hidden local gems to iconic Penang favorites, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and authentic. We especially loved that she took us beyond the obvious tourist spots and shared the stories, culture, and history behind the food. If you’re looking for someone who knows the hidden corners of Penang, offers a genuine local perspective, and makes the experience feel like exploring with a friend, Lisa is the perfect guide."
