Best Kuala Lumpur tour - Aru is a wealth of knowledge and is a great tour guide. From the moment he arrived to the pier until we were dropped off Aru shared beautiful stories and facts about Kuala Lumpur. We all give Aru 5 stars!

Half day Penang trip - We had a great guide, who was knowledgeable, spoke decent understandable English. He worked with us in terms of the agenda and the places we visited, because I don't have good mobility. Definitely worthwhile experience.

A good tour to see the sights and hear about the history - We enjoyed our tour with Geson (apologies if I have spelt this wrong). Geson was very informative and knowledgeable. He kept us engaged the whole time and was flexible with what we saw. We had already walked around Georgetown looking at the street art and been to the clan jetties so instead he took us to Penang Hill. Geson still drove us through town to show us things we may have not seen and to tell us about the history. We saw 3 temples as part of the tour and they were very interesting.

10 out of 10!! - Our friends and my husband and I booked separately, but our drivers met up and kept us together as a group!. We had Franco and Kris. They were there waiting for us, spoke English beautifully, had so much knowledge to share, took pictures for us, and it was such a fantastic way to see Penang. I just can’t even recommend them highly enough. We had a marvelous day they took us to see everything That we wanted to see plus things we didn’t even know we wanted to see. we didn’t want to carry some of our bags and just left them in the car while we were touring. Couldn’t have been happier!

Do not revommend - The trip was mostly shopping places and very little explanation. We could have done the shopping on our own and used Grab for transportation. No essence.
