Fantastic tour with Jeff - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it! Our guide Jeff was very experienced, knowledgeable and funny. We saw so many different places and Jeff was excellent at explaining the history behind all the places we went to. He knows exactly where to go to avoid queues and made us feel like VIP’s! Thank you Jeff, we had an amazing time.

Great tour - My wife and I took this tour during our recent visit to Georgetown. Eng picked us up bang on time and off we went to see the sights of Penang. As this was a private tour we got to choose where we wanted to go but Eng gave us some advice and guided us superbly. We went to Kek Li Si temple which was absolutely stunning; Penang Hill which is equally breathtaking, we stopped for lunch at David Brown’s restaurant which was lovely. We then visited Chaiya Mangalram Thai temple and the Kho Kongsi clan house which were really interesting. Eng was full of energy and hugely knowledgeable and explained many things relating to the varying cultures in Penang which we were grateful for. Highly recommend this tour as it takes in all the major sights.

Jeff is a star! - If you want to fit in the best of Penang in one day you can’t go wrong with this trip. Jeff took us to all the places we wanted to see and more. His knowledge about Penang is fantastic but his real strength is knowing where and how to go to avoid queues and traffic and other tourists. We had thought about doing many of these things on our own but Jeff knew where to park, which order to see things to save time and also that going early kept us out of the sun and queues. A brilliant day and the best way to see the best of Penang. He even went out of his way at the end to take us to the lying Buddha and gorgeous sparkling dragons, a fab end to a fab day thanks to him .

Five Star tour of Georgetown with Josh! - Our tour with Josh far exceeded our expectations! After we toured the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill we asked for some recommendations as we had already toured the local street art and Chew Jetty. He showed us parts of Georgetown we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. During our visit of Penang Hill he made certain numerous times that my wife was comfortable as she has a fear of heights. We never felt rushed and he took time to explain the significance of each area we visited. I would strongly recommend this tour and ask for Josh!

Very easy experience.... - Very easy experience. Tour guide “Law” was on time at our hotel. We preferred a more private tour & he asked what we were interested in. (No temples for us because we have seen so many before in Thailand & Vietnam). He asked along the way & also was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He was pleasant & informative

Best tour - This tour was perfect. Jeffery was the best tour guide ever. He accompanied us throughout and showed us so much of the island including the clan houses, jetties, street art. Also Penang hill. We were tired but realized we had done and seen so much in the 6 hours

Great tour - Our flexible 6-hour Penang tour was great. Jeff spoke excellent English and took us to several points of interest that we requested. This was not our first visit to Penang so we submitted a request to see only several specific temples, etc. At the end of the tour Jeff took us for an interesting ride on winding roads of the less-inhabited western side of the island. Among others, we took a funicular to the top of Penang Hill, saw Kek Lok Si temple along with Burmese and Thai temples at Gourney Drive. Thank you Jeff for a great day in Penang

Customized Tour - We had the most amazing day exploring Georgetown with our extremely knowledgeable guide, Josh! We were able to pick several places that we wanted to see, and then Josh took us and answered every question that we had on our tour. We really feel like we came away with a better understanding of the area as a whole. Plus, it was nice having an air conditioned car taking us everywhere. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Georgetown!
