5.00We greatly enjoyed this tour. Muhammad was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and a very safe driver. Each of the locations we visited was wonderful and the tour included some that we would not have found ourselves. Muhammad ensured that we gain easy access to each location and recommended an additional location which was very interesting.
Smooth, efficient, friendly

5.00Carol was a wonderful guide for our private half day tour. She showed us everything on the itinerary with great efficiency, getting us tickets where required and getting us to Peranakan Mansion in time for the English tour, answering our questions and offering us insights into Penang history and culture. Thanks to her, her great driving and local connections, we fit much more into half a day than we would have managed on our own! And she also made an extra stop so I could pick up some nutmeg balm and try some nutmeg juice, which was a lovely treat. Thanks, Carol!
Great experience

5.00This was a fabulous tour. Our driver, Mani, did a great job explaining the history and the stories around the places we visited. Mani was on time to pick us up and looked after us very well. We were given the time to explore places of interest after his informative introduction to them. Which suited us. The tour involved lots walking, stairs and standing. So you need to ensure to have comfortable walking shoes. Also, take water and a snack with you because it's a long day. Also helpful if you have Whatsapp. Although we communicated with Mani via text msg
Safe friendly driver
