Penang

Mr. Ong did an excellent job in making our short trip worth every penny. we communicated ahead that we will be visiting the Habitat, and he agreed. The fast lane ticket made our entire Penang Hill trip smooth. He made special arrangment to drop us by a nearby food hub. Mr. Ong is easy to go with, not arrogant nor hot headed. He us very patient and a very good driver. For a private tour of 3, it was surely a trip to remember.

I enjoyed the trip, the guide was very informative and friendly. we paid an extra 10rm for juice and a fruit selection

highly recommended tour that covers all the main attractions from the street art of Penang to chew jetty, Burmese and Siamese temples as well as the Peranakan mansion museum. our guide Ranjit gave us a thorough historical tour, was knowledgeable, friendly and a safe driver. we travelled in the comfort of a well maintained car and covered all the important historical colonial past of Penang. would definitely recommend this if you want to see as much of Georgetown in a short span if time.

The guide assigned to me is Willee. He was punctual for the pick up, make effort in trying to explain the history of both places. He is easy going and very patient and always volunteers to help me with the taking of photos at the best photo spots. The train ticket to Penang Hill was an express ticket and that is a plus point as u can beat the queue and the waiting area is air-conditioned 😄would definitely recommend for people visiting for the first time.

Our guide G Shen was punctual and knowledgeable. He is proactive and helpful. We enjoyed the heritage tour and the background concerning the preservation of the many old buildings in Georgetown. Unfortunately on the tail end of the tour, one member of the group met with a mishap. However the situation was efficiently handled by G Shen. Without his help and understanding we would have been traumatised and lost. Appreciation and kudos to G Shen for your kind and exemplary service.

The organizers were punctual in picking us up from the hotel and transporting us to the event venue. Team leader TC led our bike ride, and the pre-ride explanation and introduction along the way made it very enjoyable! After completion, we were transported back to our hotel in the same vehicle. Excellent event!!

Despite the intermittent sunshine and clouds on the day of our tour, we weren't disappointed at all; instead, we thoroughly enjoyed the rich, rustic atmosphere! We appreciate our guide, James, for his attentive explanations and leadership throughout the trip. During the journey, we gained in-depth knowledge of Penang's communities, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town's old district, and the harmony and unique characteristics of different religions. We savored the local cuisine and experienced the charm of the fishing village in Balik Pulau. We also visited the nutmeg factory, showcasing Malaysia's unique spice since ancient times, and the shrimp paste factory, a must-have condiment in local cuisine. We not only enjoyed the delicious nutmeg juice but also had the opportunity to buy souvenirs and bring the flavors home! Before returning, we went to admire the paddy fields and distinctive container art. The lush green rice had already been harvested, and the sunlit paddy fields were filled with the atmosphere of nature. After the rain, the clear sky saw flocks of birds, large and small, darting back and forth, a truly mesmerizing sight. As the car meandered through the paddy field paths, we discovered extraordinary bird nests hanging in the trees, which was a real eye-opener! Finally, we savored authentic Laksa noodles and snacks before concluding our half-day tour and returning to George Town. Thank you, James, for your professional guidance and attentive care throughout the entire journey!

We decided to join this sunrise tour after arriving in Penang. Based on the weather forecast, we thought it would be a nice day, but it rained, so we couldn't see the sunrise, which was a shame. Our guide, Ricky, was a really nice guy. We were the only group that day, so he arranged to pick us up and drop us off directly at our hotel. Ricky was very talkative and introduced us to the local culture and specialties. At a market, we even ate Penang's second-place award-winning 'char kway teow,' which was really good! Thank you, Ricky! 😊

Tour leader Jenny will contact us to confirm before departure. The itinerary for the day is quite localized and amazing, and it goes deep into the living space of Penang people. It is recommended for travelers who like to explore culture and history.
