Great food and history waking tour

5.00Great walking food tour within interesting insights into Georgetown's history. Our guide Brendan was very engaging and showed us some great food options including several different cuisines. Our favourite was the Michelin samosas but we loved everything! We covered quite a big area of Georgetown but the pace was pretty relaxed and we stopped at 6 places. Brendan also provided us with some further suggestions for places to eat in other areas of Penang. Would definitely recommend this tour to first time visitors to Georgetown.

5.00A very enjoyable tour. Brandon is a great host who put his small group of strangers at ease straight away. We had an adventure filled with delicious food, good company and fascinating insights of culture and history. It was not only a highlight of our Penang stay but it gave us confidence to order and eat at local spots. We returned to the Ayam ros, chicken samosa and Char Koay Teow spots he introduced us to. The meeting spot even became our cold drink oasis when we were in that area. Thanks again Brandon
Really fun, informative and tasty food tour

5.00What an excellent introduction to Penang with the friendly and knowledgeable guidance of Brandon Lee. We were only in Penang for 3 days and quite overwhelmed by the choice of foods. Brandon took us on a tour stopping at 5 different places from street stalls to sit down restaurants and we ate a wide variety of different foods which were all delicious. Lots of great chat and tips along the way. The next day we returned to one of the food stalls for samosas and Brandon also gave some other suggestions of places to eat for our next evening. It really helped us get our bearings and gave confidence to try the local foods . Thank you. Would highly recommend
We had a really special experience with our guide Brandon. Every stop was delicious and put in cultural context

5.00Excellent experience with the charming Brandon Lee! We tasted the best of what Georgetown had to offer, with just enough facts, figures and history thrown in to give us a big picture of the area. The follow up email summarising the tour was also tremendously useful.

5.00We took this tour to make sure we experienced all the food Penang had to offer. Brandon was very knowledgeable and he chose a wide variety of dishes. We were only 7 persons and it made it easy to interact. The best was the Nonya restaurant he picked. Will definitely try it again if we come back to Georgetown.
A great heritage food tour
