  1. Zahara_M

    We have a good guide who took us to all the important sights in Penang. Loved the botanical gardens and the kek lok si temple.

  2. Autum_K

    We had a great time on this half-day adventure. We used our time to explore outside of Georgetown. Our guide King Bee was stellar. He was very knowledgeable about various topics, enjoyed storytelling and educating us about Penang and his culture, and was full of funny jokes. Highly recommend this experience.

  3. Valentina_D

    Our guide Tan Choon was very kind, flexible and also organized. With this tour we could enjoy the island at our pace and understand many more things. Definitely recommended!

  4. Rhonda_S

    Lester was an amazingly kind, considerate, and knowledgeable tour guide (who also felt like a friend). When we met him, he was all smiles and ready to share with us his country. We told him that we wanted to learn as much as we could about the culture and history of this beautiful place…he did not disappoint. I felt safe and well cared for the entire day. Would recommend this tour and Lester is the best!

  5. Rajeev_E

    George was our guide in Penang. He was a fantastic guide, who was knowledgeable and funny. George allowed us to tailor the trip. Myself and my dad had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend the tour.

  6. Alison_I

    Mr. Eng was professional, kind and very knowledgeable about all the sights. He answered all of our questions patiently. I highly recommend him.

  7. Shaun_L

    Our tour guide, Beatrice, was fantastic!! She is very knowledgeable on Penang and livened up the tour with her funny stories. She was also very attentive to our needs and made us feel much at ease. Will absolutely recommend this tour to others!!

  8. Amanda_T

    We had a wonderful tour with Mr Beh, and we learnt so much and saw more within the tour, then we could have seen by ourselves within 3-4 days. Not only was Mr Beh a very interesting and nice tour guide but he also went out of his way to show us a range of wonderful experiences. We also learnt so much about Chinese and other cultures in Penang that we did not know about. When I come back to Penang I would definitely book another tour with this company and Mr Beh to find out even more hidden gems in Penang.

  9. Alvin_L

    Lester Lam, our tour guide, was a true-blue proud resident of Penang, particularly George Town. He was knowledgeable, and more importantly, relaxed and jovial. Being a history-buff myself, I was intrigued by Penang’s past and his ability to help connect the dots made it an even more enjoyable day. I would recommend Lester to anyone who wants a pleasant, informative day getting to know Penang.

  10. Melissa_H

    Great flexibility and knowledgeable guide. Comfortable transportation and good number of options to choose from.

  11. Yasmin_N

    Lester is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Super enthusiastic, happy, friendly and knowledgeable. Clearly loves Penang, and so do we now.
    Cannot recommend enough.

  12. kccrzr

    This tour was nothing less than fantastic. My daughter andI had a great tour seeing fantastic sights of our choosing and enjoying some really great food at the food market. The tour was both informative and fun. We would go again in a heartbeat.

  13. Victoria_S

    Our guide, James Ling, was excellent. He was keen to tailor the tour to our needs which suited us very well. We had a fabulous day!

  14. Rita_O

    Fabulous tour with a wonderful guide. Ms Tan, or as she prefers to be called, C.E., gave us a perfect day in Penang. We told her what we wanted to see and she saw to it that we visited every place on our wish list. But more than just getting us to & from places she shared with us her extensive knowledge and experience at each site. She was with us literally every step of the way. She knew the perfect photo spots everywhere we visited. She is a charming, kind and experienced lady. Hard not to feel she is an old and dear friend within moments of meeting her. This was one of the best tours we have taken in 32 years of cruising.

  15. Dale_H

    Jessie was a fantastic guide, we saw all the hightlights of Penang, she shared life with us in Malaysia which provided lots of insight into how people live and the history of the different cultures. Would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a flexible private tour with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who speaks excellent english.

  16. Susan_B

    Penang Hill was the best part, and the largest temple visit. Georgetown isn’t as conducive to walking around as the streets are traffic filled (city should limit vehicles in UNESCO area). Guide was very informative, knowledgeable.

  17. ANNA_K

    We had a great day on our Private tour with Lester. We enjoyed Penang Hill so much, we ended up spending most of the day there. Lester was a great guide and we highly recommend this tour.

  18. Julie_A

    Lester spoke great English, his knowledge is great and he showed us what we wanted to see and a few extras too. Lester was so accommodating to our needs. His vehicle is comfortable and with great air conditioning.

  19. Ashutosh_S

    It was a great experience, the trip was tailored to what we wanted to see and spend time upon. Our guide was super good and helped us understand the history and details quite well. Helped us to take many pictures as well as took us to the most visited tourist and popular food places. Thank You.

  20. Patrick_T

    We gave our guide 5 places from the list provided by viator which we wanted to visit. He took us to two of them.
    He took us to 3 temples but not the snake temple which was the only one we requested. He was obviously a Buddhist and we being Christians respected his belief but felt it was too much and missed out on visiting the places on our list. He also took us to a coffee/tea tasting place again not on our list and wasting our precious time.
    We wanted to visit the houses on stilts, because of time he told us to look out of the window and we could get a glimpse of them.
    He was a very friendly knowledgable guide but felt that he needed to listen to what we wanted and not what he wanted us to see.
    Pleasant day but a bit disappointing due to the reasons explained.

  21. Emma_L

    Josh was a gret guide and was very patient and considerate of our plan for the day. We went up Penang Hill, visited the Habitat, went on the swing and zip line, had lunch at David Browns, went to the snake temple and the jetty. My kids are 12 an 15 and it was perfect for them! Top tip, get the fast passes to go on the funnicular up the mountain!

  22. Tim_B

    Wow! We booked a 6 hour tour and when our local guide James Ling picked us up and started to explain the program for the day it was obvious that we were going to need at least 8 hours. Penang is an amazing place with such rich Asian and western history and James will explain all of this in his unique “story telling” way that you can’t help but become immersed in the rich fabric of the Penang culture. To do the local area justice you probably need at least a few days (and probably a lot more)to explore this island.
    I can highly recommend this tour but I urge everyone to take more time to experience Penang’s unique story and to always ask for the Master Storyteller – Mr James Ling. Thank you James.

  23. Sukento_S

    Our tour guide, Eng Seong, was an excellent tour guide! He was very kind, .thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. We really enjoyed our time with him, and learned a lot about all the places and their history. We really appreciated Mr. Seong taking the time to share his knowledge of the sites and local history. He took us to a local food court center to try local food. The Char Kway Tiao, Parembus, prawn mee and we chendol were awesome and highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Penang and hope to visit soon again.

    Fantastic day in Penang. Our guide was wonderful, so much fun, and showed us everything we asked to see, plus a little more!

  26. Jaymz_d

    We sent Mr Lim our driver out selected sites to visit via WhatsApp. He is so knowledgeable about the sites and the history. All sites visited were very historical and well with the visit. Thank you Mr Lim for sharing you knowledge and taking the time to explain the history to us.

    Jessie proved to be a knowledgable and helpful guide.Good planning on her part to fit in the sights I wanted to see.

  28. Christopher_P

    We had an absolutely wonderful day – our Driver Guide was not only personable but also very knowledgeable – all the way around a VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE.

  29. David_E

    Josh the driver was so fantastic and a credit to your company. He took good care of us. We learnt a lot from him. Penang hill was great. Kek Lok Si temple. Georgetown art. Thank you very much.

  30. Andrea_R

    Excellent guide (James), very knowledgeable and personable, eager to share in-depth knowledge about various aspects of Malaysia’s history and situation, as well as the stories behind each place visited. The tour was well organised to visit all the places we had chosen. Bonus: James is also a very good photographer!

  31. Darryl_P

    We threw a curve at our excellent driver/guide, Eng Seong, by asking to see the agriculture and rural life side of Penang. He suggested we could enjoy the rural and urban nature of the island by doing a complete around the island tour. We saw most of the usual highlights of Penang and also had a very interesting look at local rural life styles. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasant guide to work with—and took us to a great restaurant. A great day!!!
