Penang Tour - We were met by Goh who looked after us exceptionally well. My wife can’t walk far especially in the heat and Goh really went out of her way to look after her. After a tour of Georgetown and a spectacular Temple we visited Penang Hill where the views were amazing. After a quick view of the street art we visited Chew Jetty which was very interesting. We had planned to have lunch at the Hawker Centre but as it was very hot and my wife was quite tired we went back to the ship. Again Goh was really helpful in getting us dropped off as close to the ship as possible. An excellent tour.

Great day with Lester in Penang - A great intro to Penang. Lester was a knowledgeable, friendly, effusive host with excellent insight into both the history, culture and politics of the city. He guided us with an expert touch: when we went up to Penang Hill, Lester knew all the shortcuts and best vantage points for great pictures away from the crowds. He explained the history behind the neighboring Thai and Burmese as we walked through the halls. And he navigated the stalls at New World Park like the expert he is, bringing us to the best prawn noodles and char kwey teow there. Lester also gave us some valuable tips for the rest of our trip. A day well spent with someone who obviously loves his city. Highly recommended--

Private guided tour with both humor and depth - Our guide Jeff offered humor and many interesting insights into life at Penang. He adapted the day to our interests and questions. We also got some tips on other things to do during the rest of our stay. It felt safe in the car and it was a very nice experience of Penang.

A tour you should definitely do! - Experienced a very nice and interesting tour today. Both this organization and the guide were involved in this day from beginning to end. Today we had the travel guide Eng, a man with a lot of knowledge about the island of Penang and a very amical man. In other words this tour was definitely worth it!!!

Super nice tour - highly recommended - Beautiful tour. Our tour guide Mr. Eng was very attentive, took excellent care of us and put together the tour according to our wishes. His recommendations, e.g. for local food in a Hawker, were great. I would definitely stay again.
