    The best single dish we have ever tasted!!
    James is an amazing host. Knowledgeable and friendly with a passion for his city and its food / culture. He is very attentive and genuinely wants you to enjoy the experience. We have done many food tours - cooking classes tec. This is the best. Worth the price just for the Laksa. Such depth of flavour. If you enjoy food you have to do this tour! Unfortunately, we had to cut the tour short as my partner had hurt her back but even so James provided incredible value. He also made the ffort afterwards to check on how she was and offer to help if we need medical care etc. A great guy!

    The best Way to explore Penang
    We were so glad we chose this activity. It was made even more special due to our guide Eng Choon Wooi. ( From Active dynamic travel and tours). He is a very nice and funny guy , full of humour and friendly gestures. He showed us some beautiful places on this beautiful town, shared so much information about each of sites we visited. He made us skip the serpentine line to board the funicular that would take us to Penang hill. The ticket was expensive but made sense since we got priority boarding.

    Incredible guide, great food, amazing culture!
    This food tour was by far the best one I’ve ever been on. James was knowledgeable and a true story teller. We ate more than enough food, from many different cultures of Malaysia, and he taught us so much about the heritage of Penang Island. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, just do it! It was the perfect evening!

    Highly recommend!
    This tour was a highlight of my visit to Penang. James was an incredible tour guide. He gave clear information about meeting points and the tour schedule, and made sure to clarify any allergies or food preferences with the tour group members. The food we tried was delicious and James gave detailed history and information on all the dishes. During the tour, James also explained the history of Penang and Georgetown, architecture, notable streets, and took us to a local temple too. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Overpriced experience
    The foodtour in itself was great, informative and good food (i could not taste all since I don’t like spicy). We were 6, paying 360 Euro. Considering the very low foodprice for very good food 5 to 30 Ringgit, this tour is EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. Sorry. Check the monthly salary.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Amazing private tour of George Town
    We did this tour on the first full day we had in Penang. Ang was a friendly and informative guide who took us to our key points of interest, in Penang Hill, Kek Lok Si and the Clan Jetties. As well as being very knowledgeable, he let us go at our own pace, to take everything in and he was always on hand to answer any questions. Having a private tour was great, as it made sure we had an air conditioned car between each stop, as it was very hot and humid. On top of this we had 2 other stops based on Ang's recommendations which gave us a really good insight into the Chinese Malay culture and a chance to see one of the clan houses. We also took his recommendation for lunch and stopped at a food court where we got a delicious Laksa. If you're only doing a short stay in Penang, this is a great way to see some of the best points of interest and learn a lot about the history and culture, as well as getting the chance for some great photo opportunities.

    Incredibly informative tour with plenty of great food
    With only two full days in Penang, we were very pleased we did this tour. The 4pm start made sure we had plenty of time to explore in the day and then we were glad we took the trip advisor recommendation and skipped lunch. James was a fantastic guide, taking us to both street food stalls and small restaurants to try plenty of the different flavours and food in George Town. There were far too many dishes to name in here, but the amount we tried was incredible. We expected lots of small samples, but we had full dishes between us, so we were plenty satisfied by the end. The temple stop was also interesting and a good break from eating. If you do stop over in George Town and keen to try some of the best food in Malaysia, we definitely recommend doing this, you won't be disappointed.

    Amazing Experience with Experienced Tour Guide
    4 days 3 nights in Penang. 3rd time going to Penang and 1st time engaging a tour guide, without regret. Came across this Flexible 6 hrs highlight (Private tour) and decided to give it a try. Well, I must say, our experienced tour guide Josh or 阿强, give us a detailed explanation on places we requested to go, as well as we requested for local hawker centre where he brought us to for fantastic delicacies. He even go to the extend of bringing us to 1 temple (for my wife) to 求签. Especially going to Penang Hill. I would advise you to buy the Fast Lane ticket rather than wasting time to wait in queue to take the Tram. Josh made great decision by purchasing the Fast Lane tickets for us (RM80 per Pax), appreciate that. Shall we visit Penang again, will engage Active Dynamics service again, and surely want Josh to bring us around. Achieved amazing Guests Experience. Great job and Highly Recommended 👏 👍

    Great evening about food, drink, and history.
    The food and drink selections were great. Things we would not normally think to try. And the history of the city was a welcome break between food and drinks.

    Interesting and so much food to try
    Our guide was Beatrice who was enthusiastic about the culture and food. She gave us some information about buildings, Penang history and of course the food (if Chinese origin). We had a few dishes at the start to quell our hunger, then a bit of walking with nibbles on the way and finished with loads of food to fully satisfy us. Don’t worry about spicy food as she can alter to suit your taste. Great experience which allowed us to be braver when trying the local food

Penang has so many great sites to see and this tour made it easy to cover as many things as we could in a day (really you need 3 days to do Penang justice). Our guide EngSeong was knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun, taking photos for us and getting us to try some street foods that we would have avoided out of not knowing what they were otherwise. Highly recommended.

From the beginning in meeting Lester, we knew we would have a great day with him. He was very knowledgeable, took pictures of us in all of the sites and was very hospitable. He made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to see and with our original list of sites plus his recommendations, it was a great day of touring Penang. We highly recommend Lester and company.

Superb tour!

Mr. Eng, my tour guide, could squeeze all the places I had requested to visit into my very tight schedule.
He is so knowledeage about everything that I could really enjoy the tour.
The local restaurant he took me for lunch was also very good.

I am very very satisfied with this experience.

I would strongly recommend that Mr. Eng does the guiding if possible.

This was a good tour, we did not plan that much up front, so when we’re met up with Josh, our guide, he quickly suggested places to start.

Josh gave good insight on the places we liked to see, and was fantastic to find just the right time to arrive at all our stops, so we did had to stand in line or be in very crowded places.

I highly recommend this tour, and the flexibility it has.

Thank you for the review. It takes 3 days to explore Penang's attractions. Never mind if you do not know where to go and as you had already known, all of our tour guide, Josh included, knew the places better than anyone else because this is their hometown. Glad that you enjoyed your tour. Have a nice day. Cheers.
