Penang Hill, temples and lunch - Our tour guide Ronnie was very good. We didn't want to walk too much so he always went back to get the car to pick us up again. We saw some really lovely temples but to be honest it was too many temples for us. Perhaps fitting in something else or shortening the tour would work better.

Perfect for Solo Travellers – Unhurried and Thoughtful - This full-day tour was a wonderful experience and one I would definitely recommend to others. What stood out the most was the relaxed pace—there was absolutely no rushing at any point. I was able to explore each place comfortably and enjoy the day at my own rhythm, which made the experience far more meaningful. Mr. Vejay, the guide, was extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. As a solo traveller, I especially appreciated how at ease he made me feel throughout the day. He was patient, accommodating, and always ensured I was comfortable and enjoying the experience. If you’re someone who prefers a well-planned tour without being hurried, and especially if you’re travelling solo, this is an excellent choice. A thoughtfully organised day with a guide who truly makes a difference.

Expensive, but great day. No scope to rearrange if not well on day. - Zainul was an excellent guide and driver. He was chatty, explained everything and made sure I was happy at all times. I would thoroughly recommend him as a driver or tour guide in Penang. However, the trip was very expensive compared to other similar trips we did. My husband wasn't well on the day and we asked to possibly reschedule it for the next day, but it was a definite no. That was a real shame as it was pre-paid, so I did the trip on my own. Overall a lovely day, but some more understanding from Viator would have been nice.

Our tour guide did not... - Our tour guide did not speak good English. We enjoyed our experience but we feel like we could have got more from it if we could have communicated with the tour guide.

Worst tour experience... - Worst tour experience ever - overpriced and uninformed guide. Tour guide missed the essential highlights of the city that we had to later pay another service to take us. Car broke down with no replacement, forced to walk back to hotel in the heat. Shame on you Viator, travellers paying good money for a tour deserve much better.
