Best of Penang

Published on Jan, 2024

Fernando was a terrific guide...highly recommended for his comprehensive knowledge of Penang and its culture, history, and food!!

Amazing guides, great experiences

Published on Jan, 2020

We went on three tours in Penang; A street food tour, a bicycle tour and a visit to Penang Hill and the Habitat. George Town is a beauty but a guided tour definitely makes the big difference - with the right guide. Our guide made sure we got the story behind the different neighborhoods, temples and buildings and it was really an eye opener. Not least did we experience the best street food. I've been on many guided tours throughout my life but our guides in Penang really made sure, I won't forget George Town, the nature and the food.

Enjoyable and Interesting

Published on Aug, 2016

Wasn't obvious where to meet the driver at the port but eventually found our driver Dave amongst the many taxi drivers milling around. With that adventure over, we began our tour. Have to say that in summary, the day was excellent with a wide variety of culture experiences. Our two teenage boys didn't find it as interesting and exciting as my wife and I initially but they too enjoyed the latter half of the tour, which included a behind the scenes experince with pewter, making your own dish.

From the Durien we tried and wont try again to the spices and fishing village experience,and the Batik factory were great culturally.

This tour was done at our pace with a very friendly and local driver in Dave in a comfortable mini bus.

Highly recommend. Can be customised. May have done the butterfly farm on review.

Highly rcommend - ask,for Dave too.
