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.

Don’t waste your time or money - Hardly spoke English.we were supposed to go to three different locations but only went to two claiming it took too long, he dropped us off on side of streets to save money leaving us to cross dangerous roads, not worth the money
