Half day Penang City Tour - Very interesting tour with Kris our driver who showed us around and looked after us. Followed Kris’ recommendations as we left the itinerary in his hands and feel like we got a good taste of what Penang had to offer.

Great tour, friendly driver, informative - Hussein, our driver and your operator was great. Picked up at the door, and as it was a private tour, we were able to tailor it to what we wanted. The price was reasonable and running over time was no problem. You just paid a very reasonable hourly rate for any extra time you needed. Would definitely recommend it.
