Penang Turer

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.

Vi er en familie på 3 (med en 4-åring). Onkel Jimmy, sjåføren vår, hentet oss fra hotellet vårt i Georgetown og kjørte oss trygt og komfortabelt til Balik Pulau. Rizal var vår ATV-guide. Siden jeg var den eneste kvinnen, lot han meg være nummer to i rekken med mannen min og gutten vår etter oss, etterfulgt av en gruppe på 5 (alle menn). Han sjekket stadig med oss under hele turen, gestikulerte for å stoppe på forskjellige steder og hjalp oss med å ta fantastiske bilder. Han ga oss en forhåndsvarsel om hva vi kunne forvente på neste etappe av reisen (f.eks. ku). Siste stopp var ved Hutan Paya Laut, en sumpskog som førte til havet, hvor vi møtte den vennlige ingefærkatten før vi dro tilbake. Onkel Jimmy ventet allerede på oss for å kjøre oss tilbake til hotellet. Vi fikk vår gratis sitrongressdrikk og et stykke banankake på Love uu cafe før vi hoppet inn i onkel Jimmys bil og tok farvel. Min 4-åring likte det så godt! Takk, Rizal! Vi kommer tilbake!

En fantastisk tur. En aktivitet man bare må gjøre. Eddie var en av de beste guidene vi har hatt. Perfekt timing. Lærte mye. Flott natur. Stoppene var godt fordelt og med mye variasjon. Det eneste negative var at vi ikke fikk en bekreftelse kvelden før, men vi fikk en e-post tidlig om morgenen på selve dagen. Vil absolutt anbefale denne dagsturen.

Dette var en så herlig tid, en omtenksomt kuratert tur av vår fantastiske guide Garrick. Det var en glede å lære om George Town og Penang fra øynene til en lokal matelsker, all maten var fantastisk, vil absolutt anbefale denne turen.
