Georgetown Street Food & History Audio Tour

On this tour you'll discover why Georgetown is a culinary and cultural paradise. Walk through the World Heritage Area as your audio guide tells stories of the British colonial era, the waves of Chinese, Indian and Malay immigration, and how these communities have shaped the local cuisine.

You'll visit legendary stops such as Waring Kek Seng, famous for its refreshing cendol; the Kway Chap-style duck stall on Kimberley Street; and the flirty Bird's Nest Café, where you'll learn the secret of its bird's nest coffee. Between bites, your audio guide will point out colonial buildings, hidden temples and murals that illustrate the city's rich past.

The flexibility of the self-guided format allows you to stop at your leisure, take photos in the most picturesque corners and extend a stop if you wish. The GPS map will show you your position in real time so you won't miss a street.

Although the official tour lasts an hour, the route is designed for you to take your time: it can be extended if you decide to repeat your favourite dish or explore a side street. And when you finish at Ali Nasi Lemak Daun Pisang, you'll savour Malaysia's most iconic dish by the sea.

With this experience, you'll combine the best of street food, local history and Georgetown's best-kept secrets, all at the pace of your choice.
