Penang Day Tour - Our guide was excellent. He explained the background to the places we visited and pointed out the significant things to watch out for. Calm and patient, it was a pleasure to be in his company for the day. We enjoyed all the places we visited with sufficient time at the locations to be able to appreciate them

A great day - Azmel was our driver today. Right from when we got into the car he explained what we were doing what part of the City we were in and what the history was. He waited patiently as we toured each venue. At no point we're we rushed or felt pushed to move on. Azmel made the tour very enjoyable. Wonderful way to see and learn about Penang

The right way to tour - G'shen was an excellent guide! He was knowledgeable not just about the sights but also current renovations, obstacles to avoid, best routs and perfect spots for photos . Having him with us made all we saw more meaningful and memorable. He showed us sights we knew about and many we did not. Armenian Street was a nice surprise. He paced the day well giving us the right amount of time in each area without pushing us or dragging it out. Highly recommend him for this tour.

Speedy overview of Georgetown - I decided to do this tour of Georgetown since I had very little time in the city and wanted to maximize my opportunity to cover as much as I could. The driver guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and was able to show me the highlights efficiently with some flexibility also catering to my preferences. The fast line pass was really convenient and saved having to make long lines for the tram. This is a good way to get a high level overview of the city, but I realized I needed more time to stroll down the streets of Georgetown and also see the city from a different perspective. Will come back for more!

The experience delivers as promised. - The experience delivers as promised. However, this is not a tour... it is a car and driver. The driver was knowledgeable and gave us history and a flavor for the Penang scene, however the driver stays with the car and we went to Penang Hill and the temples on our own. As long as you are aware of this the experience is great!
