Penang Tours

We enjoyed our guided tour with Rana who is knowledgeable about fruit trees he introduced to us and we enjoyed eating the different fruits besides the juice and fruits package we bought via Klook. Overall a fun tour but beware can be very hot and mosquitoes too. Also you can request the ticketing office to help book taxi to leave the place as we are near to closing time at 5:15 pm.

Book it! The guide was amazing at explaining the history of the Penang hill, the difference in Buddhist practices, local culture and temples history. I would have not appreciated the location as deeply without this explanation. definitely worth it.

Thank you to Josh for sharing his hometown knowledge. We would highly recommend this tour.

I was skeptical at first as Penang's history is not new to me but this production pleasantly surprised me. It was a sincere production with engaging performances. Really appreciate the thoughtful screen on the tables of premium seating as there are pillars blocking the stage view. Dinner was pleasant, taste was good but not wow. Overall an awesome experience which I will definitely recommend for tourist.

We had an enjoyable half-day tour around Balik Pulau. Ken was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide who shared interesting insights into Penang’s history, along with her personal experiences. She also brought us to a lovely local café where we had the opportunity to savour authentic Penang dishes. The nutmeg factory was relatively small, but it was interesting to hear the owner explain the different stages of nutmeg cultivation, from young plants to mature trees. We also bought some locally made belacan, which turned out to be quite tasty! Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice way to explore the local culture and flavours of Balik Pulau. However, while we enjoyed the tour, we felt that it was a little pricey for what was offered and could have provided better value for money.

It was convinient, guide was good and overall nice experience. It was really hot when we went and the convince of your own transport was helpful.Pengang hill was nice and with express train pass there was hardly any waiting time.

Som una família de 3 (amb un nen de 4 anys). L'oncle Jimmy, el nostre xofer, va venir a recollir-nos a l'hotel de Georgetown i ens va portar de manera segura i còmoda a Balik Pulau. Rizal va ser el nostre guia d'ATV. Com que era l'única dona, em va permetre anar segona amb el meu marit i el nen al darrere, seguits per un grup de 5 (tots homes). Constantment ens va anar controlant durant tot el trajecte, ens va indicar que ens aturéssim en diversos llocs i ens va ajudar a fer fotos increïbles. Ens va avisar del que ens esperava en la següent etapa del viatge (per exemple, una vaca). L'última parada va ser a Hutan Paya Laut, un bosc pantanós que condueix a l'oceà, on vam conèixer el simpàtic gat pèl-roig abans de tornar. L'oncle Jimmy ja ens esperava per portar-nos de tornada a l'hotel. Vam prendre la nostra beguda de llimona gratuïta i un tros de pastís de plàtan a la cafeteria Love uu abans de pujar al cotxe de l'oncle Jimmy i acomiadar-nos. El meu fill de 4 anys s'ho va passar d'allò més bé! Gràcies, Rizal! Tornarem!

Un viatge fantàstic. Una activitat imprescindible. L'Eddie va ser un dels millors guies que hem tingut. Puntualitat perfecta. Vam aprendre molt. El paisatge, genial. Les parades ben espaiades i molta varietat. L'únic punt negatiu va ser que no vam rebre una confirmació la nit abans, però sí un correu electrònic a primera hora del matí. Recomanaria molt aquesta excursió d'un dia.

Va ser un moment tan agradable, un recorregut curosament organitzat pel nostre increïble guia Garrick. Va ser un plaer poder aprendre sobre George Town i Penang des dels ulls d'un gurmet local, tot el menjar va ser increïble, recomanaria molt aquesta excursió.
