The tour guide (G-Shen -... - The tour guide (G-Shen - not sure of his real name) was very good and informative. His knowledge of Penang was really good. We enjoyed hearing and learning from him. The only issue with using viator is that since it liaises with local tour agencies, we are at the mercy of them. I, as a customer, had to keep contacting viator whether the tour was confirmed even though I booked it two days before the actual day. By right, someone should have contacted me earlier with regard to the driver and car plate number. The confirmation was only received upon me contacting them 3 times and the tour company messaged me at 11.45 pm when the day started the next day at 10 am. This anxiety is uncalled for especially since everything is paid upfront. Customers need to be informed about the tour arrangement a day earlier.

Best tour ever!! - Excellent!! Our tour guide Eng was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He would ask if the itinerary suited us otherwise he could tweak it slightly to work around us. He took us to a local food court and helped us order all the must try dishes of Penang which were all delicious. Will definitely recommend, without a doubt!! 5 stars Eng!!

Best Tour Guide! - Ronnie Ranjit was my tour guide and he was amazing. Knowledagble historically and culturally. I wanted to see a lot of the street art so he adapted my tour to allow for enough time to get to the streets and some obscure side streets to see murals. It was a great introduction to Penang and I am glad I choose this tour.

5 hrs well spent - Highly recommend this tour. Great historical and cultural intro to George Town. My guide Ronnie Ranjit was the best. Knowledgable, and accommodating. When I said I wanted to see street murals he made sure I got to see more than just a couple that might have been standard for the tour. Let me wander the temples on my own time. I never felt rushed to get to the next location.

Great tour of Penang. - Our tour guide, Azmel was exceptional, took us to all the sites on the itinerary and more, and passed on his local knowledge and history of Penang. Enjoyed Armenian Street and the wall art, also Chew Jetty. Ideal tour to see so much in a short period of time.
