Fantastic experience! Mr Kevin picked us up from our hotel and drove us around Georgetown. We made 5 different stops to try multiple food items which represented the different cultures living in Georgetown.
Very enjoyable tour, ...

We had a great time with Kevin! His local knowledge helped to make the evening so interesting. The food that we experienced all around Georgetown was exceptional. From memory we made 5 stops with at least 2... 3 or more dishes at each spot. Kevin's organisation at each stop was great. We were there during Chinese NY celebrations so he gave us some great hints for fireworks viewing etc. Would highly recommend this tour...especially if you're lucky enough to have Kevin as your guide!

Had an amazing tour with Junie! Ate a wide variety of tasty bites at places we never would or could have discovered on our own. Make sure you don't eat lunch, there's so many things to try, you will be stuffed by the end of it :). Having the a/c car was great as we could get all around town for various different types of foods easily, and do so comfortably.
