Chill tour in Penang - We did a full-day private tour with Mr. Law and it was easily the best thing we did on the island. He knows EVERYTHING: history, street food secrets, Peranakan culture, old-school clans, even what’s going on in local politics right now. He explains it all in a super chill, funny way without ever feeling like a lecture. We zipped around George Town, hit hidden spots, temples, and ate where the locals eat. Everything flowed perfectly and he tweaked the plan based on what we liked. If you want a guide who actually gets Penang inside out and keeps it real, book Mr. Law. Hands down worth it!

Fantastic personalized tour in Penang - This was a fantastic experience for me, because I was able to see most of the attractions in Penang (George Town) in my wish list. My tour guide was Jeffery See, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. First we visited the Kek Lok Si Temple Complex, which is a few kilometers away from George Town. There are so many temples in this complex, that a minimum of 2 hours are necessary. The rest of the tour was a walking tour in the historical centre of George Town. We visited a few mosques, including the Aceh Street Mosque, and the fabulous Kapitan Keling Mosque. We also went to several old Chinese temples, all of which are richly decorated: the Sin Fah Thong Temple, the Khoo Kongsi Temple, the Choo Chay Keong Temple, the Temple of the Goddess of Mercy, and the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple. We also saw some picturesque street art in Armenia street, the Peh Kong Temple. and the Lim Jetty.

One of the best tours that I have been on! - Initially booked this tour for the convenience of going around Penang to the popular sightseeing locations since there were so many places that were worth our time to visit. Firstly, the personal touch of the tour agency reaching out and providing details of the driver was exceptional. The driver even personally reached out with his contact way ahead of time. Secondly, the locations were flexible and not too time bearing. Usually there are time constraints due to the need to cover all places. This is probably one of the most relaxing tours! We got to choose where to go, the duration of our walkabout in that location and along the way, allowed to make changes to the itinerary. Next, the history lessons and easy conversations with the driver was one of my best experiences. He was super knowledgeable and even went out of the way to bring us to a popular coffee retailer (exclusive in Penang) to buy their famous coffee with different flavours apart from the usual white coffee. Think Irish, Tiramisu, Blue Mountain just to name a few! He not only gave us a really interesting history lesson about the locations and the overall Penang, we even got a download of the best places to eat different cuisines where the locals would dine! Highly recommended!

Probably the best tour we have been on in our many years of travel. - This tour was wonderfully flexible and our guide and driver Eng Choon Wooi was excellent. His English was impeccable and his knowledge, commentaries and discussions were fascinating. This is probably the best tour we have experienced in our long travels in our eighty years and I commend him to other visitors. Thank you Eng
