This was just what we wanted, a cultural tour alongside a street-food one. Our guide Wei Shen was incredibly personable and knowledgeable on all aspects of Georgetown and Penang island. We had a great time and would thoroughly recommend this tour. Above all it gave us the confidence to walk in to food court s and order dishes we wouldn’t have contemplated doing before!

This was our second Simply Enak tour. First one with Jackie in KL, enjoyed it so much we decided to do another in Penang. There was no overlapping with food. Fabulous tour! Highly recommend! Great mix of foods, drinks, culture & history. Wei Shen is very knowledgeable!

Excellent tour with our amazing guide, Ronald! We sampled many delicious dishes that represent the diverse culture within Penang, and learned some interesting history along the way. We left feeling full but not overly stuffed, and felt the tour was the perfect blend of food and culture.

Could not recommend this tour more! As a foodie this tour was fantastic, we had such a range of food and they were also able to fully cater to our dietary requirements. The entire evening was very memorable and incredibly tasty. I try to do a food tour in every country I visit and this was easily in my top 2 food tours. The 4 hours seems like a long time but it is in fact perfect, we never felt rush and we had so much fun we didn’t even realise the time was going. I recommend it to everyone who wants to try the flavours of Penang! Also make sure to come with an empty belly and also pace yourself, you’ll want to try everything so try not to go too fast

Absolutely the best food experience! We had a tour with Wei Shein, who paced the entire excursion perfectly. We enjoyed a wonderful mix of culture, food, and history as we explored old George Town. No one left hungry or felt like we missed out on anything. We visited places of worship, admired street art, sampled food from the best street vendors, and met the families living on Chew Clan Jetty. I highly recommend this tour!

Gary is a great guide, very knowledgeable and explained the food well. We got so full we couldn't really do justice to the penultimate stop. We finished in a bar with live music and a drink. This is not only a food tour but the tour took in some temples, and also some of the iron sculptures.

A Delicious Adventure in Penang!" This food tour in Penang was an absolute delight! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into Penang's rich culinary history and culture. The food itself was simply divine - every dish was a burst of flavor, showcasing the best of Penang's street food scene. But the highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the bar with live music. It was the perfect way to end the evening, enjoying delicious drinks and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Penang!

We had a great tour with Gary. Who was fantastic with our kids ( ages 13, 11, 8) as this tour was more for myself and my husband with three reluctant kids in tow. He was very kind to explain the dishes to them and made the tour really fun. Thanks Gary a super day out with an exceptional guide
