• The Solo Traveler: If you want to explore the world but don't want to do it alone, this is for you. We specialize in connecting people so you always have a "found family" at the dinner table.

• The Authentic Foodie: If you prefer hidden hawker stalls and "Meet the Maker" experiences over generic tourist buffets, you’ll be in heaven.

• The Culturally Curious: This isn't just a sightseeing tour. It’s for those who want to learn the history, traditions, and stories behind the flavors.

• The "No-Stress" Explorer: If you want a premium, boutique experience where all the logistics (transport, stays, and bookings) are handled for you, so you can just focus on the experience.

Not at all! FoodSocial is built on creating "found families." From the moment you land, we facilitate a warm, social environment where you’ll quickly find your travel crew. You have the option to match with a same gender guest or upgrade to a private room.

Our community usually attracts curious travelers aged 30 to 65+. What matters more than age is a shared passion for authentic food and cultural immersion.

Because we strictly limit the group to 15 travelers, our tours often sell out quickly. Waitlist members get a 48-hour head start to book before the link is shared on social media. You also lock in the exclusive Early Bird discount.

Because FoodSocial attracts a community of global travelers, our guests join us from all corners of the world! By excluding international airfare, we offer you maximum flexibility:

• Global Flexibility: Whether you are flying from Australia, Europe, or the Americas, you can choose the airline and route that suits you best.

• Trip Extensions: Many of our guests choose to arrive in Malaysia early or stay later to explore other parts of Southeast Asia.

Arrival

You should book your arrival flight into Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) at KLIA 1. Our first boutique stay is located in KL, and we will meet you at the airport at certain time for all guests arriving on the tour start date.

Departure

Since the tour ends in Penang, you have two convenient options for your return journey:

1. Direct from Penang: Fly internationally or domestically out of Penang International Airport (PEN).

2. Back via KL: Many travellers take a short 1-hour domestic flight from Penang back to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to catch their long-haul international flight.

Absolutely. Malaysia is incredibly accommodating to different diets. Whether you are vegetarian, gluten-free, or have specific allergies, our host works directly with local vendors to ensure your meals are just as delicious and authentic as everyone else's.

Most travelers (including those from Australia, UK, USA, and EU) do not require a visa for short stays, but you must have at least 6 months' validity on your passport.

Yes. We require all guests to have comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical and trip cancellation coverage to protect your journey.
