Peaceful contrast to Georgetown with gentle cycle and interesting guide - Great morning / easy cycling along tracks and quiet roads - only noise was bird song. Learnt a lot about countryside and farming in Penang. A real contrast to Georgetown.

A great way to see more of the island - Our tour was excellent, taking us to places we would never have seen. While the bikes were simple without gears or suspension it was flat countryside and the pace was easy. A visit to a small farm was interesting to compare to UK farming and we stopped for a refreshing lemon drink and banana cake overlooking paddy fields about to be harvested. The fishing village and mangroves nearby showed the importance of small fishing ports to the rural economy. Not only was the bike ride interesting but the taxi ride too and from made more sense of the urban sprawl that covers the east of the island. Definitely worth the effort.

Early morning adventure - Sam was the perfect guide and was very keen to show us all that his region had to offer. Excellent bike tour and he made sure we had plenty of stops for interesting photos. The lemon drink was perfect and the location, peaceful.

Trip into Penang county side - Really enjoyed a few hours in the countryside with Jack. The cycles weren’t super delux but worked fine and Jack’s enthusiasm and passion for his area were infectious. Booking was easy and transparent, with great communication. A really well organised tour at a very reasonable price.

Lovely Cycle Exploring Rural Penang with Sam - We had an amazing time exploring rural Penang with Sam our tour guide. The cycle was flat and very easy, 9K total with lots of stops visiting farms, plantations etc. We got to sample fruits straight off the trees as well as banana bread and lemon drinks. It rained the whole time but we still loved it. Sam was great. Would definitely recommend.

Fun bike ride - We did this tour this morning and we are very excited! We were picked up at our hotel in George Town and taken to the other side of the island. There we got the bikes designated, these were a bit small but we are big Dutch. The guide was very enthusiastic and could tell a lot about what you encounter. There is cycling at a leisurely pace so you can look around. About halfway you also get a nice drink with a cake. It is also a nice change from the big city. As far as we are concerned, highly recommended!
