Great day spent in Penang - Lester was so passionate and informative about his city of Penang. He taught us so much and we felt like we knew a lot more about Penang after spending the day with Lester!

An interesting, flexible, knowledgible guide, showing highlights of Penang, and who extended the day to 7hrs to show us more. - Law was full of historical information, mixed with some quirky stories. We went up Penang Hill, spent 3 hrs there, then to other places of interest, a cute place for an excellent yet simple and cheap laksa lunch, some temples and other places. A day well spent in good company. Would recommend Law if looking for a guide, no matter what you wish to see.

Above and Beyond for Next Day Tour, Spacious Van for 5 Passengers, Customizable Itinerary - This tour was exceptionally accommodating. I accidentally booked for the wrong day when I intended to book for the next day and when I realized it at 8 PM the night before, they worked everything out for an 8 AM pickup the next morning. We only had one full day in Penang so the timing was critical and their flexibility really saved the day/vacation. For the actual tour, I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the van that came to pick us up since we had four adults and one child but this can could have seated 2-3 more if all seats were used. The driver was separate from the tour guide so the guide sat in the back with us. The driver drove very safely and dropped us off right in front of anywhere we wanted to go which minimized the walking that my 5 year old had to do. Our tour guide named Lester was very informative and went above and beyond by taking photos and videos of us and putting it on a Google drive. He made sure we had time for the 3 stops we really wanted to see and told us all about the history on the drive. He got express or VIP type passes for Penang Hill so we were able to board the train first so my daughter could sit in the front with the best views going up and down the hill. He was also very playful with my 5 year old which I appreciated for a relatively long outing. He recommended a local lunch place that had something for everyone and was well maintained. Overall, I would recommend this tour if you have a set itinerary in mind or have a few places and want recommendations. It was a good blend of culture, views, and a bit of nature as well. The customer service from the booking to the guide were great!

Penang in a day! - Jeff had already communicated with us through whatsapp as to which sites/attractions we wished to see. We had a couple in mind, but left the rest to him. Kek Lok Si temple, Penang Hill, Habitat, Georgetown (whistle stop tour of many sites, street art!) and the clan jetties, and so on. Jeff's knowledge was second to none and he had everything covered (including the ponchos and umbrellas!). Well worth doing. Thanks Jeff!
