Great tour
Taylor_L, 04-01-2020
Very knowledgeable and informative on all aspects of Penang. Shared a ton of information with a lot of enthusiasm, very good English and went above and beyond to show us so much around the island. The best guide we have had and would highly recommend and definitely hire again in the future.
Great tour guide, great attractions, great day!

Had a spectacular guide that started with a bit of local trivia and geography. He pointed out highlights as we drive to each stop and offered to detour along the way if we saw anything of interest to us. The day was just right. We left feeling that we met a friend, saw some of Penang’s highlights and understood a bit mare about the people, the culture, and the island.
