Friendly and caring guide/driver - Nasir was excellent - patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better or more hospitable guide to show us around. We saw all the sights we wanted to experience and ended our Penang trip on a high note.

A great day with Nazzer, the Penang Boy - Nazzer was on time at the hotel and the previous vote via WhatsApp was also very good. Nazzer showed all the sights on the island and also drove to hidden gems and explained everything great. He has fully responded to personal requests. I really enjoyed the day and will do a tour with Nazzer again at any time.

Glad I did it - Great tour and great guide. - I was nervous booking this as it was the first time I've used Tripadvisor and it was a last minute booking, but I'm so glad that I did. I had a solo tour with a very knowledgeable and flexible guide and was able to really get to know Penang. When we first met, he asked what I was interested in, I told him that I was interested in the history and culture, and he catered my experience around that. It was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the most out of the city in a quick amount of time.

This tour is a good way... - This tour is a good way to cover a lot of ground in Penang in one day. I had an itinerary in mind, but with heavy rain for part of the day, the driver, Nasir, made helpful suggestions - temples, museums, a mansion, and then several outdoor sights once the weather cleared. It turned what could have been a washout into a full and worthwhile day. Nasir was personable, accommodating, spoke good English, and keep things moving at a comfortable pace. The car was clean and comfortable, which made the ride between stops easy. My advice: request an English-speaking driver, bring cash for site entry, and enjoy.
