Back of the Bike Street Food Experience – Real Penang!

About this activity

This is a private street food adventure through Penang — each guest rides with their own host on the back of a motorbike.

Zip through lively streets, hidden lanes, and night food markets as you taste the city the way locals do — fast, fun, and full of flavor.

Over four delicious hours, you’ll enjoy a 5-course tasting menu, with each dish served at local spots where real Penangites eat. See the neighbourhoods, hear the stories, and feel the rhythm of the city as you ride between stops — not as a tourist, but as part of the street.

All food stops are long-established local vendors that we personally visit regularly and trust for cleanliness and food safety.

Muslim-friendly and vegetarian options available.

This is real street food — no fancy settings or white tablecloths.

Cruise line special: 3–7 PM with port pickup and return.

Tours are intentionally kept very small, with personal host for each guest.
