    Great experience!
    We did a Georgetown evening food tour with Suraiya and loved every minute of it. Georgetown is an amazing city with interesting food and things to see in every corner. Suraiya has lived there her whole life and is very knowledgeable about the history, culture and cuisine of the place. We learned so much and were stuffed with delicious food by the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

    A introduction to the Penang food scene
    Jeremy, our host, was amazing. His knowledge of history and culture and, of course, food, was perfect. Ate Indian, Chinese, Nyonya. Very good value, as we were so full afterwards. Great to experience old Georgetown in the way the local residents do. Highly recommend this.

    Beautiful mansion with a fascinating history
    Beautiful mansion with a fascinating history. We booked the morning tour - it cost RM25 (about $8 in AUD). Our guide, Sally, was very knowledgeable, and told lots of interesting (and funny!) stories about Cheong Fatt Tze and the history of the building. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Penang!

    Best Food Tour We've Ever Been On
    My husband and I are total foodies. We've been on a few dozen food tours across three continents. And this was hands down the best one we've ever experienced. Danny was an absolutely incredible guide, telling us the fascinating history of George Town while taking us through the city. And the food . . . I'm still dreaming about so much of the food. It honestly breaks my heart that I live on the other side of the world, because I've been craving several of the foods we tried since our tour.

    Private George Town UNESCO Heritage Walking Tour
    Terrific experience with our guide. He arrived at the hotel to meet us early. He showed us historical sites and explained the history behind what we were seeing. He was generous with his time and interesting to be with. He changed track and moved from walking to driving when one of us experiences some difficulties with the heat. I highly recommend this walking tour.

    Live…and eat like a local in Penang!
    This was a great experience, and far more than a standard food tour. First of all, rest assured that you will have plenty of tasty treats throughout the tour and will end the day stuffed, but more importantly Tiger is absolutely committed to helping you live like a local for the day in Penang. He went out of his way to bring us places that we never would have found on our own while providing lots of information and context to understand the local culture(s) in Penang. The tour is well paced with breaks between “meals” for transport between spots, walks, and visits to places of interest waaay off the tourist track. Oh, and all of the food is delicious, AND thoughtfully paired with unique local beverages. Tiger’s enthusiasm to share his knowledge and local insights made the time fly by—and he even dropped us off with a goodie bag so we didn’t miss our final bedtime snack! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to help us eat our way through a day in Penang. You won’t be disappointed if you book this experience!

    Instagram-worthy spot in Georgetown
    Best place to sight seeing the unique murals on the wall and to take pictures. I took many pictures there with my friend as a remembrance. Advisable to bring hat since the weather is too hot if you plan to visit in the afternoon. If you're looking to explore more spots here, can rent a bicycle and cycle to all the spots to take pictures. I spent there around 1 hour by walking along the street to take pictures.

    Fantastic tour experience with Tiger
    It was a fantastic experience. Tiger was well informed, and I’ve learned so many new things about Malaysia and especially about Penang. The whole tour was perfectly organized. If I come back to Penang, I would book another tour.

    George Town Street art Walking Tour
    I had the pleasure of doing this tour yesterday and absolutely loved it. My tour guide was Philip and he was excellent. He has lived in Penang all his life and is passionate about showing people around. He told me that it is not just a job for him but something he loves to do. I actually live in Penang and have wanted to see the ever increasing street art that seems to be popping up everywhere. I did look online as I was going to do it on my own but I am so glad that I decided to do the private tour as I saw so many more than I would have been able to find on my own plus it was nice to have Philip for company. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be using them again. Thank you for a wonderful day.

    Superb!
    We opted for the Penang Heritage Experience Walking Tour and had a blast! Dura arranged everything for us on arrival and the tour guide met us on time at Areca Hotel. The tour was informative and professional. Will definitely recommend to others!
