Wish we could have done this on our first day. The market was fabulous. We learnt a lot. Thanks for the detour to the Batik.

We did a private Custom Tour of George Town with Simply Enak and it was simply brilliant! We'd booked a cruise from Singapore to Thailand with a stop in Penang - only to realise our day in Penang was Christmas Day, a public holiday. Oops! I was terribly worried nothing would be open, but our guide Wei Shen had everything in hand, taking us to some brilliant places we would never have found on our own. All the food he brought us to try was incredible, from Char Kway Teow straight out of the wok on a street corner to refined Penang Laksa and Michelin-starred samosas eaten as we walked along the street. As our group included children, Wei Shen also arranged for us to try some local non-alcoholic drinks, including nutmeg juice, which was delicious! As well as fantastic food experiences, Wei Shen took us through temples, kept us away from the crowds as we explored one of the Clan Jetties and along the way he showed us the street art for which Penang is famed. He also arranged for us to eat inside an air conditioned restaurant when the heat got too much (where we sampled the most delicious dosa). He also kept a close eye on the time and the traffic, arranging a car to ensure we were back at the Cruise Terminal in good time for departure. This tour turned out to be a highlight of our cruise - many thanks to Simply Enak for going the extra mile to find a guide for us on a public holiday and to Wei Shen for designing and delivering it for us!!

Excellent knowledgeable and friendly guide, Wei Shen Ooi. I thought I knew about Penang food but this really had some surprises.

Loved the tour. The small group was great and our guide was fun and knowledgeable. Wei Shen made the tour very entertaining. I liked having a variety of cuisines from the various cultures of Penang. Wei Shen also shared some of the history and culture of Penang as we passed by places of significance. Well worth it!!

Even though we have travelled to Penang numerous times over the years we learnt so much on this tour with the delightful Soraya. As a Penang local and licenced Tour Guide, Soraya gave us great insights into Penang's fascinating history, multi-culture, architecture and best of all - food! Over the course of the tour walking through George Town she fed us so much that we were bursting. Everything was delicious and her choices of meals to showcase Penang's diverse food culture were perfect. Soraya was interesting and engaging and font of information about Penang. She showed us so many sights and points of interest, well beyond what we expected. We had a great day and would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Went to this FLOWER MULAN NYONA CAFE in Penang. The place was so cosy and instagramable!!! A must go place. Food was not amazingly good. But it was not bad either. Should go for the experience!!!!

We had such a wonderful tour with Lee. Lee was very well informed, personable and eager to make sure our experience was fabulous—which it was. We were introduced to the most amazing, traditional food and the various different cultures that reside within Georgetown. Lee was extremely knowledgeable in all of these areas. I thoroughly recommend Lee as your guide and also would recommend that you take this tour as soon as you arrive to get your bearings and understand the cultures, customs and the area that you are visiting.

Absolutely amazing tour! Suraiya was the sweetest tour guide and provided such great insights into the history of the neighborhood. The food was absolutely amazing...be prepared to eat! And don't be shy to mention things you'd like to try out, there may be room in the budget for it!

This was one of the nicest way to learn about the history and culture of Georgetown, Penang! Our guide, dear Lee Su Li, (Bruce Lee’s sister, of course) was very friendly and funny and gave us a really personalised tour. We are a foodie family and all of us, even our usually shy teenager stuffed ourselves to the max and got great local info about the ingredients used in the various variations of the dishes. Loved the whole experience! Highly recommend it, and especially her as a guide!

Our guide Su Li was fabulous. She was not only knowledgeable about the various types of Penang food but gave us a lot of cultural insight as well. Very comprehensive tour. Come hungry!

Guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to personalise our tour. Highly recommended both for the food and local history.

We had a great guide who tailored a walking tour to fit our needs, including seeing things that would interest the kids and making sure they found lots of snacks that appealed to them. Highlight recommend this company!

The guide was thoughtful enough to tailor the tour for us as we didnt want Indian food, so we got to sample Char Kway Teow, Laksa and Chendol. That said, for what we paid, we didnt feel we ate enough varieties of food. The history walk was interesting and he had some interesting anecdotes. Overall ok, but we have experienced better in other parts of the world.

We had a fantastic time exploring the streets of Penang. We ate along the way and learned about the history of Penang and It’s food. The culture of the area Is amazing, especially the clan houses. I would definitely book again.

I have taken a number of Walking Tours but this tour was one of the best ! Mark was very punctual, knowledgeable about the history of Penang and he knew what to recommend as to the different ethnic cuisines. It turned out that our tour was small and that made it even better as Mark was accommodating to make few changes here and there. The food was fantastic with local Indian, Malay/Indian and Chinese. He ordered just the right amount for us and I enjoyed all the dishes. The story of how he grew up in a certain neighborhood and the family history was also enlightening as he explained Penang's very colorful history. If you plan a trip to Penang or have been here but not taken Mark's tour, I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Penang. I took a friend who has lived here for six years and even he was amazed and pleased with Mark's tour.
