Penang tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The most important is a knowledge guide. We were lucky having ANG. He made sure the day was spent the best way. We visited Penang Hill, Ki Look Si Temple and Chew Jetty.

Grateful for Viator and they give perfect Guides like Mr Eng!

Published on Feb, 2025

Mr Eng is very knowledgeable in Penang’s history, culture and even the current affairs! It was such a pleasure to have him as our guide as he was very patient with my two boys and my mil who is an elderly and has slow walking pace. My boys love their Uncle Eng! He also suggested great places to check out for sight seeing, shopping and eating near our hotel! I will definitely recommend this experience to anyone who prefers a private tour!

Exceptional Custom Tour of Penang with Mr. Eng

Published on Feb, 2025

Exceptional Custom Tour of Penang with Mr. Eng If you’re looking for an unforgettable, VIP-level experience in Penang, look no further than Mr. Eng. From the very beginning, this wasn’t just a standard tour—it was a fully customized journey based on our interests. Mr. Eng took the time to understand what we wanted, then seamlessly crafted an itinerary that felt effortless, perfectly timed, and incredibly well-executed. Everywhere we went, he seemed to have personal connections—doors opened (literally), lines disappeared, and we had access that made us feel like true insiders. Beyond the impeccable logistics, what truly set this tour apart was Mr. Eng’s depth of knowledge. Even at places I had visited before, he provided fresh perspectives, revealing layers of history, culture, and architectural insight that I had completely overlooked. His ability to weave together past and present, different cultural influences, and even generational shifts made every stop along the way that much more enriching. No matter what we asked, he had an answer—detailed, engaging, and insightful. It’s rare to find a guide who combines such deep expertise with the ability to deliver an experience that feels both exclusive and personal. If you want to truly experience Penang beyond the typical tourist path, Mr. Eng is the guide to make it happen. Highly recommended—this was easily one of the best guided tours I’ve ever taken.

Fantastic tour with Jeff

Published on Feb, 2025

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it! Our guide Jeff was very experienced, knowledgeable and funny. We saw so many different places and Jeff was excellent at explaining the history behind all the places we went to. He knows exactly where to go to avoid queues and made us feel like VIP’s! Thank you Jeff, we had an amazing time.
