Great guide for Penang Highlights! - We had a great custom experience with our guide, Law. We spent most of our day on Penang Hill but also saw the highlights of the large Kek Lok Si temple, inside visits of Blue Mansion and Khoo Kongsi House, water jetty area and street art/murals. Law is educated about so many aspects, he was a great guide. Very pleasant and accommodating of our requested itinerary. Very nice to save us walking in the heat by dropping us off nearby the sights and picking us up. Much appreciated! Request him for your tour!

Perfect day with Eng - Eng was an energetic & enthusiastic host to us for a great 6 hour (plus) tour of Penang Island. He was keen to share everything there was to know about each site we visited. A really good day & we do recommend Eng to any travellers.

Worth every penny! - We had an amazing tour today! Our guide, Jeffrey, gave us so much information about Penang’s history and we learned a lot. He was also very accommodating with changing up our itinerary, since we wanted to skip Penang Hill to spend more time in George Town. I was able to see everything I wanted to see, and more! I highly recommend this tour. We wish we could give Jeffrey 10 stars!

True Flexibility= a Wonderful Tailor-made First Visit - We arrived via a cruise ship for just an 8 hour stop. It was easy to book but we needed itinerary modifications due to my husband's mobility/stamina limits. The company responded promptly and effectively each time. Clear meet-up details guide contact info was timely provided. name and phone number of the actual guide a few days ahead. At the last minute H was too unwell to tour. I updated Josh then found him exactly where expected. When they say flexible touring, they mean it! Josh is 4th generation Chinese in Penang and instantly/graciously adapted to make the day great for me. He'd planned everything around my husband's needs then re-planned on the fly because I have no limits. He even cheerfully coped with my off the wall request to buy dishwashing gloves. (A morning market stop was unplanned, delightful, and mission accomplished!) Josh was knowledgeable about all the surroundings, history, culture, architecture, religions, current events, etc. When visiting Chew Jetty I'd said I wasn't interested in shopping. He avoided the crowds and took me a different way to the very end of the Jetty. His knowledge made the Jetty visit much more meaningful to ME. Josh is a good teacher, easy to talk to, and has a lovely sense of humor. He never sounded like he was reciting memorized factoids. He looked out for my safety and comfort. Terima kasih for my "Goldilocks just right" introduction to Penang. I will happily book with this company in the future and hope Josh is available.

The Best Way to See Penang and Stay Cool - I cannot say enough good things about Max, our very knowledgeable guide and our very competent driver. The day we chose this tour was by far the hottest day we have encountered in quite some time. (98F/36C with up to 90% humidity.) The air conditioning in the van is exceptional. People in my group started choosing to not get out-- but I couldn't blame them. Max gave us full control of where we went and what we saw. He was a true guide, walking us through the street art and temples, so much knowledge! He helped us with food choices and explained them. He also could call for the van when we needed to get in and cool down. We learned a lot and laughed a lot and it was a perfect day. When we got back to the cruise ship, we watched all the bus people coming in like drowned rats. This tour is cheaper and so much better!

Great way to tour Penang - We loved being able to customize our stops between the vibrant street art in George Town and the incredible views from Penang Hill. It was a smooth, well-organized experience and the best way to see the island's highlights in a single afternoon.
