Experience the best of
Penang with Withlocals

"We chose the street art tour with Remy. Besides a super passionate tour about (street) art, he also provided us with interesting random facts and the history of the city. We really enjoyed the tour. After the tour, he also took us to go taste Chinese street food, even though it was originally not included in the tour. He really took his time to make sure we had a safe and great experience. We would 100% recommend Remy as a guide. His passion for art, food and the city in general is really contagious! "

"We are a family of four, including two kids aged 13 and 11, who did the 10 tastings of Penang street food tour with Remy as our guide. This was one of the highlights of our 2 week trip to Malaysia. Remy is an excellent host and took the time to explain why he had chosen each stop and the history not only behind the food we were eating but also life in Georgetown/Penang more generally. It felt like going out with a friend as it was so much fun. And the kids were thrilled when Remy added an extra stop so that they could try durian and he even picked up some other fruit for them that they had said they enjoyed. We came away feeling like we had been given an excellent introduction to street food in this wonderful town and we hope to return one day. Thank you Remy!"

"We spent a wonderful 3 hours with Remy as he not only introduced us to the best of Penang food but provided us with extensive information about the history, ingredients and preparation of the food. He also gave us a lot of information about the history and culture of Penang and its people. He also gave us excellent recommendations on other places to visit and eat at during the remainder of our stay in Penang. He was also attuned to our individual needs. Highly recommend. "

"Well, to put it as succinctly as possible; Remy knows his stuff!! History, Art, Food, Politics, Culture…did we miss anything? My family have not stopped talking about the Georgetown that’s off the tourist map but beloved by locals. Every street, every piece of architecture, street art and artist, Remy was able to give us the story of it all, history books as well as the lived experience of the people of Penang! Oh…and he included a stop to an iconic Two Michelin Star chef and the best samosas you will ever eat in your life. Our tour was adults and teens and Remy catered to all. We HIGHLY recommend Remy and will definitely seek him out again during our next visit!!"

"We had such a good time exploring the many different cuisines of George Town tonight with Remy! Our family of four (including 2 kids ages 8 & 10yrs) loved trying the many different tastings & learning about the blending of cultures from around the world. Remy was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, spoke great english and was really good at keeping the kids interested. Remy was also very passionate about showing us his favourite foods from his childhood & we will cherish the memories made today. Thanks Remy!"

"We ate some really delicious food! I am a vegetarian and my mum isn’t but Lisa tailored the food really well! We both learned a lot about local customs and food and had a really enjoyable evening. Thank you so much Lisa!!! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a George Town food tour."

"Had an awesome tour with my guide Joo Bee. Joo Bee was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local art, food, history, and all facets of what make Georgetown so interesting. She tailored the walk to my interests and made sure all my needs were met. I was left feeling as if I really experienced the historical center."

"Lisa was a wonderfully informative and knowledgeable host, friendly and charming to boot. We had an amazing tour of Georgetown and sampled some exceptional food. A fabulous introduction to Penang and an experience to remember. This is a must do experience and we highly recommend Lisa as a host. "

"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!"
