Penang Ture

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.

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.

Vi er en familie på 3 (med en 4-årig). Onkel Jimmy, vores chauffør, hentede os fra vores hotel i Georgetown og kørte os sikkert og komfortabelt til Balik Pulau. Rizal var vores ATV-guide. Da jeg var den eneste kvinde, lod han mig være nummer to i rækken med min mand og dreng lige efter, efterfulgt af en gruppe på 5 (alle mænd). Han tjekkede konstant op på os under hele turen, gestikulerede for at stoppe forskellige steder og hjalp os med at tage fantastiske billeder. Han gav os et heads-up om, hvad vi kunne forvente på den næste del af rejsen (f.eks. ko). Sidste stop var ved Hutan Paya Laut, en sumpskov, der førte til havet, hvor vi mødte den venlige ingefærkat, før vi vendte tilbage. Onkel Jimmy ventede allerede på os for at køre os tilbage til vores hotel. Vi fik vores gratis citrongræsdrik og et stykke banankage på Love uu cafe, før vi hoppede ind i onkel Jimmys bil og sagde farvel. Min 4-årige nød det så meget! Tak, Rizal! Vi kommer tilbage!

Sådan en fantastisk tur. En aktivitet man bare må prøve. Eddie var en af de bedste guider, vi har haft. Perfekt timing. Lærte meget. Fantastisk natur. Stop var godt fordelt og med masser af variation. Det eneste negative var, at vi ikke fik en bekræftelse aftenen før, men vi fik en e-mail tidligt om morgenen på dagen. Vil varmt anbefale denne dagstur.

Dette var en så dejlig tid, en omhyggeligt sammensat tur af vores fantastiske guide Garrick. Det var en fornøjelse at lære om George Town og Penang fra en lokal madelskers perspektiv, al maden var fantastisk, kan varmt anbefale denne tur.

Jeg var skeptisk i begyndelsen, da Penangs historie ikke er ny for mig, men denne opsætning overraskede mig positivt. Det var en oprigtig forestilling med fængslende præstationer. Jeg sætter virkelig pris på de gennemtænkte skærme på bordene med premium-pladser, da der er søjler, der spærrer for udsynet til scenen. Middagen var behagelig, smagen var god, men ikke overvældende. Alt i alt en fantastisk oplevelse, som jeg helt sikkert vil anbefale til turister.
