  Tour was informative, gave you confidence to explore and revisit on your own , was fun and worthwhile.. Tour guide Ashline was knowledgeable , sensitive to the needs of the client and provided a rich experience.. Lots of information and sights in 3 hours but you walk away knowing you had a great overview of Penang history, culture and heritage. Definitely worthwhile.

• Perfect way to start any trip to George Town

  Absolutely fantastic tour!! I couldn't recommend JS Lim more highly and think that his walking tour should be a "must do" experience for anyone visiting Penang island. I took the tour on my first day there and it helped me get my bearings as well as understand a lot of the history behind this wonderful city through his many fascinating stories, from Francis Light & the founding of Penang to Sir Stamford Raffles & the 5 foot ways to the naming of roads like Love Lane & Harmony Street. No book or guide is going to compare. Since I am vegetarian, he adapted his food stops to suit me including the famous Penang samosa stall, coconut juice and cendol. As a tour guide, JS was impeccable. Polite, considerate and knowledgeable. Don't think twice - just book the tour and have fun exploring!

• The Best History/Food Tour in Penang

  I have been to 31 countries, and Lim is by far one of the best guides I have ever had! He is truly passionate about Penang and its rich history. He also knows all of the best local spots to eat, and we were able to stop at several places to try some of the best food the island has to offer. Lim takes the time to get to know each of his guests and personalizes the experience. His dedication as a guide goes far beyond any tour I have ever experienced. He truly loves what he does, and it shows! My trip to Malaysia was the trip of a lifetime—not just another country checked off the list—thanks to Lim!

  I really enjoyed this tour. It was a great introduction to all Georgetown has to offer. The guide was knowledgeable and we were able to see and learn a little bit of everything-history, temples, food, local artists-highly recommend!

  We had a great time with Lim on the tour. There are so many stories in every corner and building in Georgetown, Lim knows them all. If you walk into the city on your own you take nice photos, but you don't know the stories behind them. This city is so compact and full of intercultural history and everyday life - you will miss so much if you don't take a tour. The programme of the tour is perfectly balanced, with good timing for having a small break as well. He also shows some nice foodie stops you can explore on your own later, but this isn't a food tour where you are full after the third stall with 5 more to come. Which is good. This isn't a tour by car neither - which absolutely makes no sense in George Town. Communication before and after the tour via whattsapp was a bliss and very helpful. Thank you Jim!

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A must-try in Penang! 10 out of 10!

  Lim is a knowledgeable, energetic, and caring guide. He will tell you all about the history of Penang, starting from the time British ships docked at the port and shot silver coins into the jungle, to the harmony of different culture. He’ll also share that the Victoria Clock Tower is still wound by hand every day, explain the architectural structure of Penang’s houses, and recount the history of each building, the name origin of love lane, harmony street. As a lifelong local of Penang, Lim also takes you to excellent foods, recommends signature dishes, and even lead me to Michelin-listed Indian street food, Samosa. Since I was the only one there that day, he made a point of explaining everything in my native language, Chinese, and even used a translator many many times to help me understand. With Lim by my side, I didn’t have to worry about anything. You’ll get to experience the incredible friendliness of the people of Penang. His guiding was the most interesting and unforgettable chapter of my trip. I hope Lim stays healthy and can continue to introduce more people to the fascinating culture of Penang!

  Guide Lim is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent tour. The walking was too much for me (injured my leg) so Lim was very flexible to adjust the tour so we could use tri-shaw. Highly recommend.

  Lim guided us on foot through Georgetown and told us hugely interesting stories and details on the numerous historic sites that he showed us. He made this cultural gem accessible for us in its diversity and rich cultural heritage.
