Experience the best of George Town with Withlocals

"Remy is a great guide and so knowledgable about the food and area. I Highly recommend him!! Rock on Remy!!"

"We had an excellent experience with Remy. We went deeper into history than many tours we have done in the past and we got some really interesting insights. "

"We had the best time with Lisa. She went above and beyond to manage our family which included one foodie, one vegetarian and one hot and tired baby. Lisa found places that had delicious food, friendly locals, heaps of vege options, and air conditioned spots to break up the heat. She played with the baby, shared recipes, and chatted about tips for recreating the delightful food we were eating. We highly recommend Lisa to all, she was a superb host. "

"I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private food tour in Penang, and it was nothing short of exceptional. My guide, Lisa, truly made the experience unforgettable. Lisa has lived in Penang for 16 years, and her deep knowledge of the island’s diverse cultures and cuisines shines through in every stop, story, and bite. From the vibrant street food stalls to tucked-away local favorites, she guided me through a carefully curated selection of dishes that represented the rich blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences that make Penang such a culinary gem. What really stood out was how Lisa connected each dish to its cultural roots explaining not just what we were eating, but why it mattered. Her passion for food and local history is infectious, and it felt like being shown around by a friend who truly loves and understands the heart of Penang. This tour wasn’t just about food (though the food was amazing) it was about stories, people, and the traditions that have shaped this unique part of Malaysia. Whether you're a foodie, a history buff, or just curious to experience Penang through a local’s eyes, I can't recommend Lisa enough. Thanks again Lisa for a truely memorable experience. "

"We’d been eating street food in Malaysia for 2 weeks by the time we did this, but Yasin still managed to show us a whole new range of foods and places we would never have found. Plus he is a friendly and open guy and we had some good conversations about Malaysia and life in general. Great fun and well worth the money "

"She was very attentive and we could taste the best food in Penang."
