What you'll do
This trip is all about getting on foot and feeling local in Penang as I'll take you back to the earliest discovery and development of the Island through history, plants we'll walk past and especially from the local cuisine we'll get to indulge in along the way. It's like a trip like no other as you explore the city with all your senses! Georgetown traffic is crazy hence, this walk is exclusively conducted either at 7.30 AM or 5.30 PM for you absorb the Island's beauty without the crowd!
Other things to note
It's a trip on foot so be sure to wear something comfortable. Take steps to protect yourself from the sun and we encourage staying hydrated so a water bottle is a plus point! And you're petty much set!
