Great foodie experience! Highly recommend

This was by far one of the best ways to experience the real Penang and George Town. Lisa’s culture, food and historical knowledge was so insightful. She was charming, friendly and the best host!! We tasted food and dined where as clueless tourists we wouldn’t have thought of or been confident to. I feel as though Lisa become a friend by the end of the tour. Well worth the investment.
