We really enjoyed our heritage walking tour with our guide Erina. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Penang and different cultures within the city. It was an immersive experience- we also learnt so much about the different local food and tasted some really good street food and drinks from local vendors. I loved the nutmeg drink and sardine samosas! Erina introduced us to food I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. The tour was well paced and also catered to our group (a family of 4) one in our group was vegetarian and she ensured there were options catering to her needs. It is great to meet a guide who is passionate about the work she does- thanks Erina for a lovely morning- a great introduction to Georgetown and Penang- highly recommended
