Fabulous tour, so informative from our local guide Jenni. Learnt so much about the different cultures and their food. The food was amazing. I was a little worried we’d be expected to eat lots of very bizarre food but it was not like that at all. It was delicious and all from local family run businesses. I’d definitely recommend it and also I’d recommend you do it at the start of your time on Penang and then you can use your new knowledge to inform how and where you eat during your stay. Best samosas ever from the street vendor!
