King our guide was very knowledgeable about George Town and the food it offers and imparted this knowledge with passion and enthusiasm. We walked to four different food outlets between which we were shown and had explained to us, the architecture, the cultural influences and the history. King was extremely well organised, bringing with him umbrellas, spare cutlery, tissues and wet wipes, which were all necessary. He also organised the trip so that the most flavoursome food was at our final stop, so as not to dull our taste buds when trying the more delicately flavoured onesMax was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We tasted lots of great dishes and drinks until we were ready to burst! Also learned lots of Penangs fascinating history! Highly recommend.
