Fantastic Experience - A great half day cycle ride around rural Penang, seeing what most likely not 1 in 10,000 visitors to the island ever see! Eddy our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and offers free collection from your hotel in Georgetown. The tour is about a 1 hour drive from Georgetown but I regarded this as a bonus as you get to see lots more of Penang, with Eddy giving commentary on points of interest along the way. We got water and Chinese pastries and goats milk ice cream along the way included too. I can’t post the link here as TA won’t allow the link but I have a video of the ride on my YouTube channel called Baldy Tim’s Reviews

Excellent tour to get you out of George Town - I went on this tour because I’m an occasional cyclist and it was a good opportunity to get out of George Town and into the Penang countryside. The reviews were good - and justifiably so. Bikes were reliable and Eddie the guide was knowledge and funny. You don’t go very far but see four or five different aspects of the Malaysian countryside. Good value for money - and a good memory to take home.

Fantastic ride and see the countryside - Beautiful ride, flat ground all the way, great guide, and you don’t have to be fit, highly recommend this… Though, we really wanted to go another couple of hours, would love to do a full day with a local lunch next time…

Culture, history and nature … don’t miss! - This was a great way to spend a morning in Penang. We had good, comfortable and easy to ride bicycles. The ride was all on flat terrain and the pace was easy and well balanced with stopping to see interesting things along the way. Eddie, our guide, was however definitely the star of the morning. He was friendly, knowledgeable and super funny. This tour had the perfect balance of history, nature and culture. We highly recommend this tour. Kumesh & Ash 🇿🇦🇨🇭

See another side of Penang - See another side of Penang. An excellent way to start the day. Very different scenery and vibe from Georgetown or beach areas of Penang. See where local fruits, vegetables and fish are grown and harvested. Tour guide Eddie is very friendly, open, knowledgeable and humorous. I travelled solo and joined a two other groups.
