A wonderful historic UNESCO World Heritage Site - We enlisted a local tour operator to show us this wonderful, historical UNESCO World Heritage Site. In no particular order we saw Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, Fort Cornwallis, Chew Jetty, Armenian Street, Kapitan Keeling Mosque, Little India, Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Goddess of Mercy Temple, St. George Anglican Church and Khoo Kongsi. The local street art was also visited including: "little children on a bicycle" and "flying Butterfly Cat". Great guide who also gave us tips on the street food and the brest places to shop.

Great way to experience and learn about Penang! - The tour with Khoo Bee Lean was great! We learnt a lot about the origins of Penang, including the British settlement, and we also learnt a lot about the Chinese clan family system. It was also great to hear the perspective of a local on Penang’s past and current direction. It was a great way to see and contextualise Penang and we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Very knowledgeable! - Mohammed was very friendly. Great English. Unfortunately we all felt like he was rushing to finish. 3 hrs of tour was completed in 2 hours.

Very okay - Guide was friendly and knowledgable, but pricey for how brief it was. Not every location was visited and would have preferred to skip the shopping destination.

Just very okay - Guide was super friendly and professional, but the tour didn't stop every at every advertised location was visited and would have preferred to skip the shopping destination. Went on another tour the same day and got more description for the same stops. Bit too pricey for what it is.

Curate’s egg - OK early on, but (I) we had to press the guide to visit all the listed venues (he appeared keen to get home!), and (ii) we were taken to 2 (unwanted) commercial outlet stores.
