Great day! - We had an excellent time with Shawn! This was a private tour and and he knew all of the great spots around town. We were able to visit temples, the jetty, see the street art, and received suggests on what to do with the rest of our time in Penang.

Mackenzie's in Penang - G-Shen our guide was excellent. He contacted us night before to confirm pick up & time. We had a lovely modern SUV for family of 4. We felt safe with his driving as many bad drivers in Penang. His knowledge of Penang was excellent & took time for photo opportunity stops. We visited 2 Budhist temples, Burmese & Thai to show differences in the religion & G-Shen to time to explain & answer questions, normally I would not have visited these. The visit to houses on stilts on the sea was interesting & again G-Shen knowledge was outstanding. I would certainly recommend H-Shen and this tour to everyone.

Easy paced tour - Our guide did well to get us around the sights of Penang. An easy paced tour with commentary on the different historical features of Penang. We did do the obligatory tourist stop at a coffee place with the hope that we would purchase on our way back to our hotel.

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.
