Overview
Explore the vibrant streets of George Town on a relaxed 2-3 hour journey through history, culture, and local life — all for free (tips appreciated!). Walk with our passionate local guides as they bring Penang’s stories to life: from the dramatic Penang Riots sparked by rival Chinese secret societies, to the legacy of James Richardson Logan, who stood up to colonial power to defend the poor.
As we wind through UNESCO-listed streets, you'll uncover hidden gems, colorful street art, heritage architecture, and fascinating tales that shaped the island’s multicultural identity. With plenty of stops to rest, snack, and soak in the atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to get to know Penang — at your own pace and price.

- Cover guide preparation and research
- Support local storytelling and cultural preservation
