Great day-long tour of Penang Island - We had a wonderful day-long tour with Jeff. We knew some of the places we wanted to see, and we had already booked a walking tour in Georgetown, so we asked Jeff to take us to some specific places. He asked about our interests and was a careful listener, and took us to places of historical and cultural value, and with interesting flora and fauna. Jeff was a great communicator and delivered a very special day!

Highly recommended private tour - Our guide for the day was Mr. Josh Lim. He was very knowledgeable about Penang and the Malaysian culture. Our tour included all of the best things to see and do in Penang. We appreciated having a guide who was able to translate and assist when needed. We highly recommend this tour.

Chill tour in Penang - We did a full-day private tour with Mr. Law and it was easily the best thing we did on the island. He knows EVERYTHING: history, street food secrets, Peranakan culture, old-school clans, even what’s going on in local politics right now. He explains it all in a super chill, funny way without ever feeling like a lecture. We zipped around George Town, hit hidden spots, temples, and ate where the locals eat. Everything flowed perfectly and he tweaked the plan based on what we liked. If you want a guide who actually gets Penang inside out and keeps it real, book Mr. Law. Hands down worth it!

Fantastic personalized tour in Penang - This was a fantastic experience for me, because I was able to see most of the attractions in Penang (George Town) in my wish list. My tour guide was Jeffery See, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. First we visited the Kek Lok Si Temple Complex, which is a few kilometers away from George Town. There are so many temples in this complex, that a minimum of 2 hours are necessary. The rest of the tour was a walking tour in the historical centre of George Town. We visited a few mosques, including the Aceh Street Mosque, and the fabulous Kapitan Keling Mosque. We also went to several old Chinese temples, all of which are richly decorated: the Sin Fah Thong Temple, the Khoo Kongsi Temple, the Choo Chay Keong Temple, the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, and the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple. We also saw some picturesque street art in Armenia street, the Peh Kong Temple. and the Lim Jetty.
