Experience at the top that will remain etched in our memories - I was looking for an original food tour and I found it! Jacky and his whole team have been in great care with us from start to finish. We discovered dishes and places we would never have found alone or on foot. Beyond the tastings they are people who love their island and showed us with passion! My husband and the kids have a little trouble with English but they still managed to make themselves understood and express themselves and icing on the cake Jacky speaks a little French. A big thank you to everyone and also to Kenny with whom the communication was very fluid for the organization knowing that we had done it at the last minute! I really recommend this experience!

Fantastic bike back tour of Penang - Absolutely one of the best experiences in Penang! Exploring the city on the back of a bike was such a fun, immersive way to get around, and sampling street food along the way made it unforgettable. Our guides Joe and Dean were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Penang’s food culture — every stop came with great stories and insider tips. We tasted an amazing variety of local dishes, from hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Riding through the streets, soaking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the city felt like the true Penang experience. A perfect balance of adventure, culture, and incredible food. We’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Penang — a must-do if you love street food and want to see the city like a local!

Great Experience on Motor Bikes - My husband and I signed up for a tour because we have done the same type of tour in Vietnam. It was as great as the Vietnamese! The two men arrived at our condo, which was was outside the pick up zone, before the indicated time, which is always a good indication of their dedication to the tour. We went to 6 markets instead of five because there was an Indian procession which had closed most of the streets around the food court we weregoing to. But after enjoying the snack at the additional food court, we returned to the originally planned food court to enjoy the noodle dishes which we enjoyed immensely. We ended the evening totally stuffed for a dessert that was light but delicious. We would recommend this tour because it’s personal and enjoyable, if you like getting to know the people and their food😁!

Great Fun! - What a great experience! We had clear instructions on a meeting point where we were given helmets, followed by a fun ride to our first stop in the north of the island, feeling quite safe on the bikes. The food we were offered at 5 different stops was fresh, tasty and a good representation of local cuisine. Our local riders were very friendly and informative, speaking fluent English. Highly recommend this trip, it was a refreshing change from bus tours and very professionally conducted.
