Fantastic tour with Mr Ong - Exploring Penang with Mr. Ong as our tour guide was an unforgettable experience that perfectly showcased the island’s rich culture, history, and cuisine. His deep knowledge of Penang’s heritage brought places like George Town, Kek Lok Si Temple, and Penang Hill to life, while his passion and personal anecdotes made every stop engaging and memorable. The itinerary was expertly planned, balancing iconic landmarks with hidden gems, and his culinary recommendations—ranging from street food delights to traditional Nyonya dishes—were a highlight of the tour. Mr. Ong’s warm personality, seamless planning, and genuine enthusiasm made the day both enriching and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Penang, Mr. Ong is the guide you need to truly experience the heart of the island. He goes the extra mile.

Beautiful vistas!! - Penang Hill was spectacular!! The express lane is a must. Be sure to pay a little extra to go into all areas. It is well worth the small expense. Danny was an excellent tour guide who showed pride in his city and knowledge of its history.

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
