Penang adventure - Shawn was a terrific guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable, and took many photos of us. We wouldn’t have been able to see all these places in George Town if we didn’t do this tour. Be mindful thought the weather is hot!

A great way to see Penang - Wonderful time with Gason. He was quite knowledgeable in the local culture and history which is refreshing. He took time to answer all my questions and made sure we made the tour all about my interest. Would recommend if you're looking for a relaxed tour while getting to visit some of the most popular spots in Penang. Super convenient too hotel pick up, air con, and tickets all taken care of in advance so no waiting!

Good tour if you are short on time in Penang! - Definitely a convenient way to get around to the tourist spots in Penang. It was nice to have a driver to get quicker access to the entrances etc. Was also nice to get a lot of information from the driver along the way. My guide, Ong, was very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable.

Temples, Hills and Old George Town, Penang - We arrived in Penang by ship and contacted G-shen who responded immediately. After meeting him at the appointed place we went first to the Kek Lok Si temple followed by Penang Hill. In both places, G-shen showed us his knowledge taking us through histories as well as his keen appreciation for these beautiful places. We took advantage of his knowledge and got some wonderful pictures of Penang. We thoroughly enjoyed the drive thru old George Town where G-shen pointed out the “must see” street arts as well as the historical significance of this area.
Overall a great day spent with G-shen. I can’t recommend him enough! A+++++ and highly recommended.
